Arsene Wenger’s Motivational Handout

The full text of Arsene Wenger’s motivational handout for his Arsenal teams is below. You have to say that Wenger did change the style of soccer that was played in the English Premier League. Before Wenger were there teams that kept possession of the ball so well but also could play direct soccer? Certainly not as many teams as there are now. Today in the EPL, almost every team has both skill and plays direct counter attacking style of soccer at times.

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was a visionary on the football pitch, he changed the game and is still considered a mentor by the world stars who played for him and in Monaco he was honoured with the 2019 Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award.

Wenger Quote: "When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren’t the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation."

The Team

• A team is as strong as the relationships within it.
• The driving force of a team is its member’s (sic) ability to create and maintain excellent relationships within the team that can add an extra dimension and robustness to the team dynamic.
• This attitude can be used by our team to focus on the gratitude and the vitally important benefits that the team brings to our own lives. It can be used to strengthen and deepen the relationships with it and maximise the opportunities that await a strong and united team.
