We don’t chase novelty tools. We focus on the thinking and structure that makes any tool useful: clear role briefs, behaviours over labels, constraints and trade-offs, repeatable shortlisting, and decision review that actually improves the process. Each episode gives you something you can use: - Role Definition Templates (behaviour-based, not position labels) - Question sets that lead to better shortlists - Meeting Structures that stop recruitment becoming a persuasion contest - Simple Ways to Stress-Test Decisions (“what would make this wrong?”) - How AI Fits Safely: drafting, checking, standardising outputs — never replacing judgement If you work in recruitment, scouting, analysis, coaching, or you’re aiming to, this show is for you. Clarity First. Tools Second.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013"},"episode":{"title":"Ep46: Identity → Game Model — Turning Words Into 'Behaviours by Phase'.","slug":"ep46-identity-game-model-turning-words-into-behaviours-by-phase","published_at":"2026-02-06T05:04:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep46-identity-game-model-turning-words-into-behaviours-by-phase","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep46-identity-game-model-turning-words-into-behaviours-by-phase-","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/2e333a12-f117-4135-b763-b7013d98436f.mp3","summary":"Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary In this episode of the AI in Football podcast, hosts Tom Butterfield and David Bromley delve into the significance of defining a game model in football recruitment.
