Motivational Coaches and Club Culture

[PhamKun]

1st question: what does motivational coach do exactly?

2nd question: what can I do to improve club culture except signing player with positive effect to my club culture? Does Motivational Coach have anything on this?

As per previous explanation from SI, Motivational coach will

1. Maintain team morale higher

2. Improve young player personality.

A motivational coach will help slightly in this regard over time automatically, other proactive steps you can take:

• Discipline the player (within reason) if they step out of line
• Make sure that the overall 'vein' of your team is positive (ie. young players are affected by peer pressure and will often change towards the herd at the club). You can view this within 'Squad Dynamics'.
• Give him a mentor who is strong in the areas where the player is weak (with regards to personality)

Do bear in mind however that not all players will appreciate being changed .... some will rebel against you, raising kids is hard

Also, if you really want to improve club culture, you might need to sell some of the players causing issues.

It's quite hidden (many people I mention this to aren't aware of it), but to work out which ones are causing the problem, you can press on the text describing things and it will pop up a list of players and the effect they are having. Eg, when I press on "There isn't a strong culture within the squad in this area" it shows me which players are impacting Professionalism:

So I should probably sell Bain, Welsh and Afolabi to improve my score (it's currently C). I'm not going to sell Hornby as he was a key signing for me.

This is a great tip, had never noticed this, thanks!

Same here. I was having to check each players Relationships range individually. Thanks for the info, Stephen.

I really should have mentioned that myself - in a similar fashion if you get a news item with an 'effect' indicating a number of players are affected in some manner ... if you click on the line of text it'll show you which players they are.
