3. Selection is removing players
with the current ability to
succeed in games that are
taking place in the near future
Identification is the prediction
of future performance based upon an
evaluation of current physical, technical,
tactical and psychological qualities

7. BE MORE CONCERNED WITH YOUR CHARACTER
THAN YOUR REPUTATION, BECAUSE YOUR
CHARACTER IS WHAT YOU REALLY ARE, WHILE YOUR
REPUTATION IS MERELY WHAT OTHERS THINK YOU
ARE
