In the West Indies team the support team has grown over the years. Several head coaches and specialists have worked with the team, but did they make a difference to its growth and performance?
Specialization improves performance but only if the specialist units are well organized and closely integrated to align their activities towards the team’s goals.
Could poor performance of the head coach and specialists, and their bombardment of players with excessive information confuse team members and interfere with their thinking, concentration, judgment and confidence? That is a question that they should seriously consider. An honest self-examination is required. They cannot continue to do the same things and expect to get different results.
