The mental laziness in football

The case of Mattia Destro, Roma player, who is going through a period of time in which he did not score a goal can be interpreted as an example of mental laziness that is present in the players, the coaches and managers. The general interpretation of this phenomenon is like, “it does not matter, it happen that attackers have a period in which not score a goal, it happened to Tom, the famous striker who then started to score.”  These are justifications that we find only in the  football. If my daughter was studying and then take the bad grades, I would not say for sure, “then go.” If a young in a company began to make mistakes you would not say for sure, “no matter it is just a temporary block”. In football, however this happens, you train and then you do not play well, but it does not matter sooner or later you will improve. In football, also there is no rush to recover because everyone expects that to happen at any moment. It’s dominant then the magical thinking, that every moment can be good to start scoring. It’s clear that with this mindset nobody will think that he could be helped by a program of mental training built just for him, because he does not need, but what counts is to cultivate the illusion that you enter in the field and score a goal, and so will everything passes. Nor should we forget that these players earn a lot of money for that in any case their life continues to be quiet for this reason. If you get bad grades in school or at work if you mess up you could lose the year or to be fired, and perhaps for this reason that these people are much more committed to practice what they need to do to improve.
