The Power of Cohesion

  • Across the majority of sporting competitions, the variance in cohesion is greater than the variance in skill.

  • It is fundamentally easier to optimise cohesion than it is to select and identify skill.

  • Cohesion is the single, most efficient way for a sporting club to begin to perform above it’s financial budget.

Team Work Index

GAIN LINE Analytics has developed unique metrics, Team Work Index (TWI®) and the Key Cohesion Markers, for measuring the quantity and intensity of linkages within a team. The stronger the metrics, the more Cohesive the team, the more likely the organisation is to enjoy sustained success in their specific field.

Cohesion is driven from the top of the organisation down. Without alignment and strong governance Cohesion can not be effectively built and maintained within an organisation. Without alignment even the best coach or manager will not be able to get a team to perfom to capacity.

GAIN LINE Analytics has worked with clients across a variety of different sports and competitions including the English Premier League, elite professional rugby league, international rugby union and elite motor sport.

The benefits of optimising cohesion exist across all team based activities, but how cohesion functions in each sport remains unique.

GAIN LINE Analytics works to optimise cohesion within your organisation, creating a competitive advantage that will elevate both short and long-term performance capacity.

What we do:

  • Management presentations.

  • Performance Audit: a detailed report assessing the current health of a team or organisation against the Key Cohesion Markers.

  • Squadbuilder Program: A subscription based service utilising the Cohesion Analytics methodology, that includes on-going reporting, giving context to performance outcomes and supporting decision making.

“The GAIN LINE Analytics programme that Ben has assembled is the result of thousands of hours of high performance analysis. He has gone to great lengths to identify the points of difference and points of advantage in the high performance arena. The results will challenge your paradigms of thought and will be well worth the time you allocate to invest in the future.”
