Do you have to give talks to your staff and team? What do you say? What actions do you stress? We have been given an insight into the motivational tools used by Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger, as someone left behind the sheet used by Arsene in a hotel room in Manchester.
In the past you would expect a team talk from a football manager to be a curious mix of David Brent and Henry V, all four letter swear words and jokey banter. The sheet offers a rare insight into the more subtle methods used by the erudite French manager. The full text of the team talk is below:

Confidential / Team meeting 19th September 2008
The Team: A team is as strong as the relationships within it. The driving force of a team is its member's ability to create and maintain excellent relationships within the team that can add an extra dimension and robustness to the team dynamic. This attitude can be used by our team to focus on the gratitude and the vitally important benefits that the team brings to our own lives. It can be used to strengthen and deepen the relationships within it and maximise the oppor tunities that await a strong and united team.
Our team becomes stronger by:
Displaying a positive attitude on and off the pitch
Everyone making the right decisions for the team
Have an unshakeable belief that we can achieve our target
Believe in the strength of the team
Always want more - always give more
Focus on our communication
Be demanding with yourself
Be fresh and well prepared to win
Focus on being mentally stronger and always keep going to the end
When we play away from home, believe in our identity and play the football we love to play at home
Stick together
Stay grounded and humble as a player and as a person
Show the desire to win in all that you do
