in terms of his commitment to mentality.

matches. He would then provide feedback and review the key areas his players need to
focus on. In addition to this, Eddie jones would also make notes and have a little section on
review, discussing about what went well and what went wrong by reflecting back on the
performance of the team. A feature they both have in common is that they explore new
methods such as; new formations, style of plays and bringing in different players in order to

good role models and present themselves smart in front of the audiences and the players
since they want to reflect themselves on the positive side. They have to act like an
ambassador as both of these coaches must represent their team and this can encourage the

players at time when he was coaching Robin Van Persie, Hernandez, Ronaldo and Tevez

deserved by giving them advices, tips, hosting special occasions and even allowing the
players to celebrate in their free time. Likewise, Eddie Jones had coached several teams and
