What if recruiting and coaching elite athletes wasn’t just about physical performance and match stats—but also about cognitive abilities and personality traits?
A new international study featured by Capacio confirmes and strengthens that elite football players excel in discipline, adaptability, quick thinking, and resilience—traits that can be measured and leveraged in talent scouting and team development.
This was exactly the topic of discussion in Sporthuset, where Lasse Granqvist, Tommy Åström, and Jens Fjellström explored how clubs can integrate psychological profiling into recruitment and coaching strategies.
