Learn How HUMAN Works

Over the course of the season, our engagement with your team is a comprehensive and dynamic process aimed at elevating performance, enhancing team dynamics, and fostering inclusivity. This journey can be divided into several key phases, each with its specific goals and activities. Project Kick-off (Week 1): We commence with a crucial project kick-off involving your management and coaching staff. This initial meeting sets the stage for a shared understanding of the project's objectives and expectations. Simultaneously, we provide comprehensive pre-assessment materials to prepare participants for the upcoming assessment process, ensuring everyone is informed and comfortable. Analysis Phase (Week 2-3): The next phase focuses on gathering critical data. Surveys that assess cultural adaptability and psychological factors are distributed and completed by athletes and staff. Concurrently, we perform a meticulous analysis of existing performance data. This step is vital for establishing a baseline and identifying patterns that might not be immediately apparent. Assessment Phase (Week 4-6): During this period, initial reports are generated to provide insights into strengths and areas for improvement. Our team conducts an in-depth analysis of survey results and performance data to uncover deeper insights and correlations between psychological, behavioral, and performance metrics. Comprehensive reports are then compiled, offering actionable recommendations tailored to the team's specific needs. Phase 1 Completion (Week 7-9): At this juncture, final comprehensive reports are presented to your team, including compatibility assessments and improvement plans. We provide tailored recommendations for training programs and development initiatives. Additionally, we offer hands-on guidance in implementing these recommendations and establish monitoring frameworks with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for continuous assessment. Coaching and Training (Week 10-28): We embark on a transformative journey, commencing specialized training programs focused on psychological, behavioral, and cultural development. Our psychological training bolsters mental resilience, behavioral training enhances interactions, and cultural training fosters adaptability. We also set up systems for the collection of performance data and maintain ongoing communication with key team members. Mid-Season Analysis (Week 29-32): As we reach the midpoint of the season, a comprehensive analysis allows us to measure progress and impact. Athletes retake assessments, and the results are correlated with on-pitch performance. Feedback sessions lead to strategy adjustments for the second half of the season. Continuation of Coaching Until May (Week 32-44): The focus shifts to refining coaching strategies based on mid-season insights. Continuous monitoring, mental conditioning, and preparation for the season finale become paramount. Athletes receive ongoing support and training, and data analysis informs real-time adjustments. Gathering End-of-Season Results and Planning for the Next Season (Week 45-48): As the season concludes, we conduct a final comprehensive assessment to collect end-of-season results. This includes retesting athletes and analyzing correlations with performance. We set the groundwork for the next season, advising on recruitment and development strategies. Throughout this journey, our commitment remains steadfast in fostering continuous growth and achieving peak performance. Our approach is agile, data-driven, and responsive, ensuring that your team is not only prepared for the current season but also building a strong foundation for future success.
