Ben Strevens is gearing up for a fresh start as he returns to Dagenham & Redbridge, hoping that small improvements will translate into big gains for the team. After a successful season at Eastleigh, where he achieved promotion to the Football League under John Still, Strevens is back at Dagenham & Redbridge to assess what the team needs to prosper in the upcoming season.
Over the course of ten games towards the end of last season, Strevens had the opportunity to analyze and evaluate the squad. Now, armed with valuable insights, he is making some off-field adjustments to set the team up for success. These modifications include simple yet significant changes such as organizing lunch after training and assigning set places in the changing room.
During pre-season, the squad has been training at the Little Heath training ground, home to West Ham United academy. However, when they return to their regular base, Strevens plans to revamp the Daggers’ training facilities. By providing the team with state-of-the-art equipment and an upgraded environment, Strevens aims to enhance the players’ performance and create a more conducive atmosphere for success.
Strevens understands the importance of continuous improvement and marginal gains. These small incremental improvements, when added together, can make a significant difference to a team’s overall performance. By focusing on seemingly minor details and optimizing various aspects of the team’s routine, Strevens hopes to maximize the players’ potential and drive Dagenham & Redbridge to greater achievements.
With the new season just around the corner, Strevens is determined to ensure that every element of the team’s operations is fine-tuned and optimized. By paying attention to even the smallest of details, he aims to create an environment where the players can thrive and exceed expectations.
As Strevens strives to start afresh at Dagenham & Redbridge, his meticulous approach and commitment to continuous improvement are commendable. The team can look forward to a rejuvenated environment that prioritizes progress and sets the stage for a successful season ahead.
