BOOK DISCOVERY
What It Takes
First published 2023
What It Takes is a 2023 English-language work by Sarina Wiegman and Jeroen Visscher, classified under football, soccer, management science, and football coaching. Its title poses a question about requirements, effort, and capability, while the subject tags connect sporting performance with organizational and leadership practice. The metadata does not identify a team, period, or specific method, so this entry makes no such assumptions. It instead invites examination of how coaching and management define readiness, distribute responsibility, and convert collective potential into coordinated action.
