Reminds me of baseball. Many of the best managers weren't the best when they were players. Some never even made it to the major leagues. But as a manager/coach they're incredibly well-regarded.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoManagers don't have to have the hands on skills. What's more important is their understanding of the players, and making players better than they would be otherwise. Those well-regarded managers are often so because they create a whole greater than the parts. Average managers break even. Bad managers decrease value.
