The National Alliance for Youth Sports proposes a standard for parent education by providing a video-based educational program which offers a simple, effective way to make youth sports parents aware of their roles and responsibilities as well as ways they can make their child’s experience more enjoyable and positive.
Football is a team sport, but there is not always a team in football. The term team goes beyond its definition. The team is built, it’s a continuous work, it means to have the same idea in the minds of the players. When the youth coaches complain about drop-out, lack of commitment, lack of responsibility towards the teammates, each of them must wonder what he has really done to build team cohesion.
Often to reward their athletes, the coaches talk about good group, not knowing that beyond the terminologymistake, it’s a fundamental process that is skipped: the transition from the group to the team. In the absence of this process, the team does not exist. Where is the error?
The group is a group of individuals who have common goals, working together to achieve them. Switching from group to team means to transform the goals that people have in common in a unique common goal. What looks like just a turn of phrase, it’s actually a work that can escape the coach. Here are some rules of communication useful for working on the team:
The work of the sports psychologist consists precisely to assist the coaches to become more and more aware of their communication style, helping to transform these simple rules in concrete acts.
Each coach must be professionally skilled, knowing that in the pitch it’s always the team to win.

Juventus- Rome could be a good footbal match, it was instead a monument to narcissism referee. There are some unwritten rules that should govern the decisions of the umpires, and that in this case have been widely disregarded.
I do not think Rocchi had a psychological subjection against Juventus. I am convinced that he wanted to emphasize in the wrong way its role as a major decision maker. In essence, his performance was poor because he wanted to prove to be more important of the players and to be able to determine the outcome.
On the other hand since the beginning of 2000, the referees have no psychological training. I thought that this was mainly Calciopoli unfortunately it is not: the question is that there is no interest in promoting referees psychologically dskille, of course there are exceptions but these remain such.
Teachers are an investment for the future of countries. What today’s children will face in adult life cannot be predicted and so the teachers of today and tomorrow need the skills, knowledge and support that will enable them to meet the diverse learning needs of every girl and boy.

MOVE Week is an annual Europe-wide event and an integral part of the NowWeMOVE campaign. This year, MOVE Week will take place from 29 September to 5 October. The objective of MOVE Week is to promote the benefits of being active and participating regularly in sport and physical activity throughout Europe. A wide range of promoters of physical activity (who we call MOVE Agents) coordinate events, including existing and new physical activities, for MOVE Week. MOVE Week and the NowWeMOVE campaign are being coordinated centrally by the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) in collaboration with the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF). MOVE Week 2014 is financially supported by the European Union. MOVE Agents are the stars of MOVE Week. They make MOVE Week happen. A MOVE Agent can be a grassroots sport organisation, club, school, university, voluntary group, company, municipality/city or individual who organises a sport and physical activity event for MOVE Week. It is the MOVE Agent’s job to choose their event type and location, register it on the portal at moveweek.eu, gather the team they need to implement it, promote it in their communities and oversee it when it unfolds on the day(s). A MOVE Agent is a voluntary position, but ISCA and the National Coordinators in each country can give them advice on how to seek funding and support for their events. Toolkits, posters, flyers, banners and other promotional materials are also available to help MOVE Agents plan, gather support for, promote and stage their events
While the world’s major companies leading among them for years a war to have inside the best talents and into Google are dozens thepages by selecting “talent war”, we live in a nation where those two words evoke little interest. It’s what showed from a study conducted by Bruno Pellegrino, University of California, and Luigi Zingales, University of Chicago, according to which the Italian entrepreneurs, thankfully not all, prefer to have “yes manager” as collaborators, ready at any moment to please them in their choices at the expense of independent and competent men and women. It confirms the reluctance of the Italian business to the performance culture, combining the ability to take risks and innovate with the need to keep a profit budget and in its place spreads the anti-ethic familism, which selects individuals for co-optation. In this way it’s left the road allowing the pursuit of success as the highest expression of quality business and it will start that one where favoritisms and patronages become the dominant factors of success. The Italian world of professional football once again is the mirror of this country and of this type of entrepreneurship: many low level foreigner players and a few young Italian talents. In fact, in most of the teams there are few Italian players and only this year have been introduced 84 new players, which further restrict the access to our young talents. The damage that it has been created is very serious. Hindered by the fact the young Italian to play, it spreads the idea that it’s useless to have youth activities, the best players will not find clubs willing to have them in the team, therefore they are obliged to go abroad as is the case of Immobile, Cerci and Verratti. Finally, the clubs spend money unnecessarily for foreign players who are not of value and the teams lose more value because they cannot count on players who want to win and tenacious. There are not explanations allowing to understand this phenome so destructive for the clubs. Certainly the professionalism of the football managers is defeated by this approach and the fact that this practice is so widespread evidently not worried indeed it emerges strengthened. Of course there are Italian companies and teams that are based on the culture of performance. Let’s follow them because they are an important piece of the solution of our problems.
