It helps that, by writing and creating the series, Sudeikis gets to be a bastard through other outlets – hardman-with-a-yoga addiction Roy Kent, or steely womanboss Rebecca Welton. “With this show – being a writer, creator, and being on set for most scenes – those parts of me play all the parts in the show: I get to try to harmonise with all these other voices, which has always been my favourite thing to do. That’s the only reason I got to stay at SNL: not because of the sketches I was writing, but, because those first couple of years, I enjoyed rewriting with people – finding someone with that specific voice and being like: ‘you try this, you try that’. It’s a fun way to exercise, and exorcise, your demons.” p.23 – Psychologists believe that one of the greatest benefits of being curious is that it not only gives us the power of knowledge, but it also leads to emotional well-being. Study after study has found that being curious makes us more content, strengthens our relationships, makes us more creative, it leads to higher levels of achievement, and it even helps us survive.

Be understanding – Communicating with his players allows Ted to understand them and what they are experiencing. Whether it is a player’s first time away from home or a veteran dealing with losing a step or two, having that perspective allows a manager to have empathy. p.22 – “Guys have underestimated me my entire life, and for years, I never understood why,” Ted said matter-of-factly. “It used to bother me. But then one day I was driving my little boy to school, and I saw this quote by Walt Whitman painted on a wall there, it said: ‘Be curious, not judgemental.’ I like that.” Also leaving Ted is Rebecca, who stays with her family and reconnects with the Dutchman, whose a pilot, and his daughter. Though she threatened to sell the club if Ted went, Keeley suggests to her a women’s team. Potential spin-off?

Allow the members of the team to shine – Ted allows members of his staff to shine. He gives them credit and highlights their achievements which provides motivation and incentive to everyone in the organization and allows them to achieve the impossible. I always felt bad for the boom guy or gal [on set],” Sudeikis says, Hollywood preened and gleaming in front of a so-unreal-it-might-as-well-be-greenscreen view of New York’s Hudson river. “It’s like, they’re holding that microphone up. And this is not easy to do. If you and I held our arms up like this …” and then we both hold our arms up in the air for about a minute while he talks about his years doing improv in Chicago, and he’s right, it isn’t fun. It isn’t fun at all. Trent’s cute little gay ass is about to name his book The Lasso Way and it’s just too perfect he is so special to me #tedlasso - @theolasso A question that has recently arisen among devoted Ted Lasso followers is whether ‘The Richmond Way’ has materialized in the form of a tangible book. Beyond its enthralling narrative and captivating characters, Ted Lasso has left an indelible imprint on popular culture. Garnering critical acclaim, the show has become a cultural phenomenon, resonating across diverse demographics.

Remember when Ted told Sam to ‘Be a goldfish’ because it has a short memory. Confucius bequeathed his own version: “To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” Beginning with the 2013-2014 season, NBC acquired the broadcast rights to the English Premier League. The network ran promotional commercials that featured a fictional American football coach named Ted Lasso. Ted, created and played by Jason Sudeikis, was hired to coach an English Premier League football (soccer) club – the Tottenham Hotspurs. The commercial was about four and a half minutes long, and it was hilarious. When I heard they were going to make it into a television series, I was skeptical that the depth of the character could support a 30-minute television show, let alone a 10-episode season. After skipping forward, Ted learns that the team finished second in the league to Manchester City when he’s at the airport. When on the plane, Coach Beard, whose first name is revealed to be Willis, decides that he doesn’t want to go and stays in England, leaving Ted. In other words, if we think we’re capable of something, it’s possible we really are. But if we don’t think we’re capable, we won’t even try.Ted Lasso’s Season 3 finale reminded us of Ted’s impact on those around him — the Lasso Effect! Since arriving at Richmond, he’s given characters courage, and reminded the team of the importance of second chances and that positivity and belief conquer all. No character has been impacted more than Roy, whom we’ve seen transform from an unbreakable stone wall to a caring leader, one who’s more accepting and transparent with his emotions, a point reiterated in the finale, where Roy finally went to therapy with Dr. Sharon ( Sarah Niles). Roy truly reflects the power of the Lasso effect and Richmond needs that in their coach — someone who can follow in the footsteps of Ted. Communicate and fit people into your daily routine– Ted begins every day with “Biscuits with the Boss.” When he started this routine with Rebecca, the team owner, she wanted nothing to do with it. But Ted insisted saying “we can’t be good partners if we don’t know each other.” This means getting to know people by being curious and asking questions and really listening to the answers.
