    In the second instalment, Oliver Platt from OneSocccer explores the “Art” of the team talk with Pacific FC’s Pa-Madou Kah and Halifax’s Stephen Hart. The Do’s and Don’ts of how to effectively deliver a message.

     

    It was the team talk heard across Prince Edward Island.

    In a win-or-go-home scenario, Pacific coach Pa-Modou Kah had watched his team fail to register a shot on target against FC Edmonton through 45 minutes. He gave a brief half-time interview that told its own story.

    And then he went to see his players.

    In what were not exactly sound-proof locker rooms, the cerebral and normally upbeat Kah exploded.

    It had the desired effect. Pacific came to life and won 2-1 after falling behind, with Marco Bustosā€™ 85th-minute winner securing their place in the next round.
