The Technical-Tactical-Mental-Physical (TTMP) coaching framework in sports can be adapted to business and leadership contexts, particularly in fields like product management, strategy development, and team leadership. Below is an analysis of how this framework applies to business skills using hockey, rugby, and concepts like No-Plan Xi (flexible strategy) and kicking as a framework for execution as case studies.

1. Technical Skills: Core Competencies

In sports:

• Technical coaching focuses on mastering fundamental skills (e.g., stickhandling in hockey or passing in rugby). It’s about precision and reliability.

In business:

• Technical skills are the foundational expertise needed for execution (e.g., coding in product management, financial analysis in strategy, or UX design in product creation).

• Example: A product manager must master tools like Jira, roadmap planning, or stakeholder communication.

Case Study:

• Hockey Example: A player perfects their slapshot through repeated drills.

• Business Parallel: A product manager develops expertise in A/B testing, enabling effective decisions on feature rollouts. This technical precision prevents strategic missteps.
