BONUS EPISODE: Sam Winnall's Research - 'Friend or Foe'
Former professional footballer Sam Winnall has completed a fascinating research project as part of his MSc, and in this bonus episode, he explains his findings to Dr Paul Mansell.
Conducted with a sample of current elite strikers, including an international player, Sam investigated the role of competition for places between teammates in football. With most teams playing with only one 'number 9', how do footballers navigate the scenario of being a team-mate, a friend, and a rival for a place in the team?
Sam outlines the results of his interviews, which include healthy and unhealthy competition, what is meant by a 'Goldilocks' level of competition, and the social factors that can influence this dynamic. He also shares some useful implications based on his research.
