such as the quarterback, and analyze this athlete’s performance extensively.

After reading this discussion idea here. A coach trying create a Six Sigma result on his team, which strategy would be best for him to use. Write out your choice and after you finish, see the Villanova’s football Coaches correct answer below.

Answer:

“While it may be harder to assess the entire team, it can be done if the team is understood to be a collection of individual athletes who each contribute to overall team performance.

Using Six Sigma in sports is not necessarily about achieving “perfection” as it is sometimes understood in the business context, where the goal is absolutely minimal variation in performance.

Yet, it is about maximizing an individual athlete’s performance by isolating, addressing and then fixing key problem areas. By taking these small, focused steps, athletes can reduce their errors and incrementally reach their highest potential.”
