Head Coach Selena Mazzantini praised the squad's commitment and tactical execution as preparations shift toward their big Serie A Women’s Cup opener against Juventus next Friday at the Sinigaglia: “It was a good test against an important team. We value the performance, commitment, and tactical execution from the girls on the pitch. Next week we will review this game to consolidate our principles. It will be fundamental to execute them against a big team like Juve.” – at Como, Lombardy

Como’s men’s team has done incredible this season in the Serie A, and qualified for Europe. But don’t forget, Como’s women’s team also had an incredible season and won the Serie B Femminile. 👏🏾 USWNT legend Heather O'Reilly is head of women's football for Como. “Listen, this was something I was not expecting to come into my life,” she told U.S. Soccer podcast. “This was a little bit random, I was doing various things like some television work and some coaching, and I really sort of was enjoying both of those avenues, but I didn't know what exactly or where exactly I wanted to put my energies fully. “And then the TST tournament, I came in contact with these people from Como because they were in our group play the first year of TST. “We were both out of the tournament. So me just being friendly and trying to be a nice host, because I live in North Carolina, I thought it was a nice thing to do. “I was like, let's have a bit of a party after our game together, right? Like, let's get the apple spritz. We'll order some pizza. “We had a wonderful little pasta party after the game, and not like I got the job the next day, but I think that they kept me in mind as somebody, as they were growing their women's side of their club. “So about a year after the infamous pasta party, they offered me the position to sort of head up their women's department, meaning they had a team, but it was like, recreational point, and they knew that I wanted to live in the States. “Like I said, I have a young family. My husband, Dave, is trying to start a business, and so it wasn't the time for us to completely move to Europe. And I was very clear on that. “But they said that's fine. Do it remotely. This is more of an advisor role, and come over as much as you can. And so for the last two years, I have been going over to Italy about once a month for about four or five days at a time. “We were in the fourth division. And so I had to find some staff and some players to try to win fourth division. “Then we moved up to Serie B, which is obviously the second division, and only one team playing gets promoted. “And so I put together an excellent staff, and that excellent staff helped me find some players that were ready to roll up their sleeves and face this wonderful challenge of trying to win Serie B, right? “And we just sealed the league. We won Serie B. We are promoted to Serie A. It was huge with three games to go. So we convincingly won the league.” What a job O’Reilly is doing in Italy 🙌🏾

“It’s SO hard…” Declan Rice responds to Thierry Henry’s question. They both know the toil and the toll of being involved in competition. The relentless pressure. The need to go again every day… High attention Optimal intensity High intent A High Performance Mindset (HPM) in every activity in every session every day. A nervous system yearning to drop to Low Performance Mindset (LPM), but a constant refusal to give-in to LPM. This is why I think shared mental models in sporting organisations (and Corporate ones too) are so important. This is why I use terms such as HPM…so the burden can be shared across the playing group, across the coaching staff, across departments, across the organisation as a whole. An all-in feel on HPM. People supporting each other in the search for excellence. People driving each other on with shared language and shared behaviours. People overcoming Individual exhaustion by helping each other drill intent. High attention Optimal intensity High intent We go again in activity after activity. Session after session. Day after day. And we help each other do so. My voice is an aid for you. My gestures lifting your actions. My instructions constant reminders of what you can do. HPM - all-in! Day after day after day…until we win the title… My new book, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞, can help you create shared mental models around the mental side of the game you coach 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎% 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 buff.ly/tOCVDPw
