Sports "scientists" (now that's an oxymoron) at the University of Portsmouth have "studied" the effect a sport coach's appearance had on the players' impressions of their competence. A researcher said: (was he wearing a white coat, suit or tracksuit?)
''We have found that the clothing that coaches wear can have a direct effect on the players' perceptions of the coach's ability. Players look to their coach to provide technical skills, to motivate them and to lead them. A coach in a suit suggests strategic prowess which is obviously ideal for a match.
In our study, coaches wearing a suit were perceived as being more strategically competent than those wearing sporting attire. However, when wearing sporting attire, they were perceived to be more technically competent than those in a suit.''
Are we expected to believe that footballers are capable of perception or even thinking about anyone else but themselves? More of this bollocks at TTel.
