Benjamín · 8 years old · Soccer
Sustainer with a Strategist lean
Benjamín tends to hold the team up: steady, reliable and with a pace of his own. And when the game calls for thinking, a lean shows up that observes and looks for the why.
✦ Clear profile
Their blend
Most of his decisions in the game leaned to the supporting side: looking after the pace, keeping the plan, being where the team needs him. One in every four was pure reading.
Their engine
In the game he tended to take his time before deciding, and he gained precision when nothing was rushing him. Abrupt changes of pace cost him a little more.
For example: give him notice when an exercise is about to change. He arrives better when he saw it coming.
Facing the storm
When something goes wrong, Benjamín does not usually show it in the moment: he keeps doing his part, even if it weighs on him. If he knows the plan still stands and his place is safe, he puts himself back together on his own, at his own pace.

"Now, don't think!"
"Change of plan on the fly"
Before, during and after
Before
Tell him the plan ahead of time: what is on today, where and with whom. He arrives better when he saw it coming.
During
Acknowledge quietly what he holds up without any noise. He does not ask for the spotlight, but he needs to know his contribution is seen.
After
Give him time before asking him to make sense of it. The next day he usually comes back with details nobody else saw.
A reset that works for him
When he gets overloaded, going back to the familiar puts him in order: a simple routine role (setting up the circle, handing out the bibs) and a calm presence nearby, without many words.
