His way of handling the players , the fans and the press are fascinating to watch in terms of his handling of questions with his lighthearted honesty without ever getting personal
One of his biggest attributes is he doesn’t bear grudges and players love that because mistakes are forgotten and they start to really like and trust him and therefore bust a gut for him.
He turns boys into men by gradually giving them a bit more responsibility and respect a bit at a time
Britt for example with the captaincy. Left field but making Britt super focused.
Roberts coming back, notice how he said; he’s come back more mature
Players like that. It gives them a good feeling and also puts manageable responsibility on their shoulders. Enough but crucially not too much to overwhelm them
He clearly assesses them with his team and identifies something he can use to take them as men and a player to the next level.
Its this approach alongside the clear coaching with Blackwell and Jepsons experience which is rubbing off on the players understanding of what NW wants from each one of them.
Great psychology
