The futsal’s characteristics

Futsal is a sport that while coming from the soccer, it has taken very different characteristics. Today the futsal is much more similar to a basketball game, not only for the number of players on the field but also for intensity, speed of play, the possibility of substitutions during the match. The mental coaching of a futsal team thus provides the focus on different aspects of those characteristic  for the soccer.  In oreder to plan a mental coaching program it’s important to know the differences from soccer. In my opinion these are the main differences:

  1. during a time players can alternate every 3/4 minutes
  2. in the last two minutes the team can make more goals and overturn the result
  3. the mistake of one player can be fatal and determine one goal
  4. it’s a game of high intensity, with continuous shots that reduce mental and physical energies of the players
  5. reaction times and decision making must be very fast
  6. each player must always be ready to defend and attack
  7. the expulsion of a player determines a significant advantage to the opposing team
  8. it’s required a constant and high level of coordination and cooperation
  9. the team have to play with high-intensity until the last second
  10. it requires a continuous emotional control over the harmful moods
