Decide Like a Coach

There is no coach who does not want to win and who does not do what they believe is best to achieve that end! But different people make different decisions. And a decision cannot be undone. Teams are a reflection of the coach! The coach is a human being, with their own feelings and experiences!

As a coach, Gil Sousa experienced moments with leaders who were completely different and who, in similar contexts, felt and decided in completely different ways, sometimes with similar results, other times with vastly different results. And these different ways of feeling, being, thinking, acting and, consequently, deciding are clearly evident in all the testimonials from the coaches – Ilídio Vale, Jorge Braz, Juan Manuel Lillo, Julian Nagelsmann, Paulo Bento, Pedro Martins, Rui Jorge and Vítor Oliveira – who contribute to this book.

Deciding Like a Coach is a thought-provoking book for those who identify with this desire to "feel the whys" of topics that are so raw, so real and so important as the power of decision-making, because reflection always helps us improve and creates space for us to reinvent ourselves.
