Overview

• Speaking at the Lead Better, Live Better Summit in London this month, Arteta said he is exploring a visit from RAF fighter pilots to assess and streamline how Arsenal communicates.
• He explained that pilots’ one-word, high-stakes exchanges are the model he wants coaches and players to emulate during matches.
• The Telegraph, as relayed by the Mirror, reports Arteta participates in a WhatsApp group with high-profile coaches including Steve Kerr, Eddie Jones, Matt LaFleur and George Karl.
• That cross-sport exchange has reportedly informed tweaks such as rebranding substitutes as “finishers.”
• The aviation idea remains at the planning stage rather than a confirmed program, aligning with Arteta’s pattern of unconventional methods to seek marginal gains.
