Throughout the article there seems to be no doubt that Eli has a great work ethic. But this attribute alone is not the cause for his end of the season and post season success compared to the first half of the Giants season. So just what could be the difference maker in his decision making ability?
Without a doubt his teammates have stepped up to contribute but it is something else. In my recent presentation on Athletic Intelligence, I stated the two main qualities of decision making:
Eli Manning has improved his ability to cope under pressure and resolve the situation he is in more quickly and with more clarity. But just how has he improved these qualities?
For one, he has found his rhythm that is best for him and the rhythm of the game that best suits his team. Second, his is able to remain task oriented (focused) even under the most highly pressured of situations. Third, he is playing with more self confidence. This in turn allows him to make bigger plays in part because he has raised his awareness of his environment (teammates, competition, game field, etc).
There are a number of other reasons I am sure, but these are the ones that first come to mind. So how about you or your athletes? What is presently being done to improve your ability to make clear and quick judgements? How are you improving your capacity to cope and/or resolve different game situations?
