No. These things happen. Now is a good time for them [Lewy and Torres] to improve. From what I've seen in training, we're on the right track. We have played four games in the last 11 days and the options to make changes are limited. In addition, some players returned from injury. We need a little more time.
The rigid gameplan that was supposed to evolve to suit the players available has been increasingly rumbled and results have spiralled downwards. As their hosts France prepare to try to clinch back-to-back Six Nations titles for the first time since 2007, England will do well to avoid finishing in the bottom two.
The Raptors are now positioned to try to reach the playoffs through the play-in tournament. They are falling in the standings. They have also been, compared to most other teams, quite healthy, so it's not like they have an enormous influx of talent waiting on the horizon. Their schedule remains dastardly going forward. Things look bleak.
I already said after the 4-0 against Atlético that we would learn from our mistakes, we are a young squad and we have understood that. We're approaching it with great enthusiasm, knowing there will be a second leg, but we're sure they'll come out with everything.
I really appreciate them for what I see. I wasn't nervous today. I saw them after it the 3-0 and I had confidence in them. That's what we're aiming for: this great atmosphere and focusing on daily training.
We'd like to give them a bump, because they've earned that. But it's an eye towards this year, but moving forward as well. The 2025-26 Bruins have exceeded plenty of expectations during Marco Sturm's first year as an NHL head coach - cultivating a hard-nosed, punishing identity that has been readily embraced by a fanbase looking to flush away the misery of last season's implosion.
Two consecutive league defeats at a club like Real Madrid, defeat is always difficult to deal with. But right now, the only thing we're thinking about is tomorrow's match. We know the level we need to reach if we want to win. It will depend on our performance, our composure and confidence. The past doesn't exist.
The pace at which we're all working today doesn't naturally lend itself to being reflective. As a leader, you don't get enough quiet time. The thought leaders and business leaders I work with figure out how to make it part of their routine. For some, it's during a commute, a workout, a shower, or a walk. For others, it's a more involved practice where they shut down their devices and spend scheduled time reflecting.
When expectations are unclear, trust in leadership and collaboration begins to drop. When this happens, the frustration that follows is real. But the deeper cost is often invisible-trust begins to erode. This dynamic is increasingly common. Roles evolve, priorities shift, and teams are asked to move faster with less certainty.
Borthwick urged his players to use the opportunity to ask how they dealt with setbacks after England's Six Nations hopes went up in smoke for another year after last Saturday's dismal 42-21 defeat by Ireland, seven days after they were outclassed by Scotland.
There may be something unsettling happening on your team. Despite expected productivity gains from integrating AI tools, overall team performance appears to be declining. People are starting to second-guess themselves, and trust is eroding in ways that are hard to pinpoint. is a corporate scientist and first-ever chief science advocate at 3M who is the author of Jayshree Seth The Heart of Science book trilogy published by Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
"Very happy to be in the semifinals. We took it very seriously; we knew it wouldn't be easy," he said. "Cup matches aren't decided until the very end. They found a goal, and it's normal for them to come at you in the final minutes. The team knew how to handle it well. We're in the semifinals, and that's what's important.
Teams don't always get the immediate 'bounce' anticipated from the arrival of a new manager. Éamonn Fitzmaurice routinely recalls 2013 when Kerry lost the first four Division 1 league games of his stewardship, only scoring an average of a little under eight points per game against Mayo, Dublin, Kildare and Donegal before turning the ship around in the final three games.
