FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF MANY YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS
“THE AREA OF IMMENSE INTEREST TO ME WAS THE
IMPORTANCE OF DETAIL, NOT JUST ANY KIND OF
DETAIL BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THINGS THAT
WOULD AND COULD SET US APART FROM ANY
OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD: WE HAD TO ASSUME
THAT OUR MAIN COMPETITORS WOULD ALSO HAVE
THE SAME QUALITY OF PLAYERS, THE SAME
RESOURCES AND THE SAME STANDARD OF
COACHING. IF WE ACCEPTED THAT THEN TO BE
EVEN BETTER WE HAD TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR
POWER TO FIND HUNDREDS OF IMPROVEMENTS OR
CRITICAL NON ESSENTIALS THAT WOULD SET
US APART FROM OUR RIVALS.”
Clive Woodward
