Nanne Bergstrand, headcoach Kalmar FF, Winner of Swedish football league 2008




What can we learn from sports ?

To day I was listening to Nanne Bergstand and his view of setting goals and motivate his players. Last year they won the Swedish football league. His message was that all his players are individuals but none is more important than the team. They don’t have a result goal as for example winning the league. They set individual goals for each player to meet during the game, as for example all 90 percent right passes. The reason to this is that they can work with there own skills and not with the other teams skill or intentions. All players meeting there individual goals will together perform better as a team. Each position will also continuously improve its own skill and increase the chance to win the title. Is this a good strategy ? Maybe ? But the results never lie………..or perhaps its to early to say………
