The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Graham Potter
- They’re human beings before they’re footballers and it’s important to understand how can I help them. What do they need? How can they feel part of this? How can they feel they’re improving in their career, because my job is to help them get better, play better football, earn a better contract, whatever it is.
- I needed to learn to be a coach initially. I think if I’d gone into professional football when I stopped playing when I was 30 years old I’d have failed because I’d have made too many mistakes because I had no real idea at that time.
- I remember doing my first coaching sessions at Macclesfield, when I was still playing, and I was just terrible. I felt really uncomfortable standing in front of people, and it felt very odd. It was not something I was naturally comfortable with at all.
- You cannot win all the time and, often, we don’t win that much. You have to have something and I think if we can create an environment where people genuinely think that we are trying to help them, trying to improve them and make them better, then OK, maybe they will try a bit harder, and do a bit better for the team and the club.
- We want to help the players be more comfortable in their own skin, a bit braver, a bit more aware and more understanding of each other.
- Whenever you start a new job, it’s always a bit daunting, the unknown.
- I got a job as a football development manager which meant I could coach the students and work with the sports sciences department, all the people in university sector.
- We are our own worst enemies and as a coach you can help people recognise that, raise their self-awareness and then see if they change or do anything about it.
- People think that coaching is about winning football matches – which, of course, it is – but throughout my career it has also been about helping people become better, more able to deal with life and be more successful in their lives, on and off the football pitch.
- When it is 1-0 and you have been dominant and you have restricted the home team to pretty much nothing, if you do not score the second goal then that is football. Any action can happen in the game.
