What really separates great football managers from the rest? In this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Peter Crouch, Notorious SID, and Chris Stark dive deep into the hidden skill that defines success in football management. From Graham Potter’s bizarre motivational tactics—including getting players to take part in theatre and musical productions—to managers who completely lost the dressing room, they reveal how the best leaders get inside players' heads and inspire peak performance.

The lads also discuss other strange motivation techniques, from factory visits to unexpected dressing room speeches, and debate whether footballers today lack the same hunger as past generations.
