"I wanted to look at factors that affect decision making when under pressure and I wanted to choose those jobs where it's life or death. Bomb disposal, it's red or blue or green, the different wires. There's so much belief in their own feel and touch of what they're doing. There are absolute processes and they know the processes day by day which helps them in terms of pressure situations, but also just how confident they were in their own field of their job."
"It gave me such a brilliant perspective of the people that deal every day with life and death. When you're in football, that's how it feels sometimes because it's winning and losing. The more I've learned, the better I've become. You've just lost a game, how do we bounce back from that? How you deal with it and and continue to be a leader through storm"
Alex Revell consulted bomb disposal experts, emergency service workers and the Red Arrows while completing his Uefa Pro License to study pressure and decision-making. He examined life-or-death professions to understand factors that affect choices under intense stress. Bomb disposal specialists rely on strict processes, tactile confidence and daily routines to manage high-stakes situations. Red Arrows pilots emphasised the consequences of a single mistake when flying in close formation. Revell applied these insights to football management, comparing match outcomes to life-and-death stakes, focusing on how to bounce back after defeat and maintain leadership through challenging periods.
