Episode 59 - Sam Walker

June 27, 2017

A real treat this week as Matt meets SAM WALKER to talk about his groundbreaking book on what makes good teams great. Sam spent ten years looking at which were the best teams across all sports in all time. And then he looked at what made these teams stand out. It wasn't money or infrastructure. It was captains - THE CAPTAIN CLASS looks at the difference a captain makes to a good team. What traits does a great captain need to demonstrate and, again, it's not what you're thinking. It's not strength, talent or even rousing oratory. A fascinating must-read book that deserves to be seen alongside Moneyball and The Numbers Game in changing the way you think about sport.
