Players mindset and dribbling

In soccer, dribbling is one of the most exciting aspects of the sport for the young soccer players. It is a sudden individual action that can change the course of the game if it results in a clear advantage for the team and an opportunity to score a goal. It requires certain psychological characteristics that can be taught to young people regardless of the fact that someone will always be better than someone else. Precisely because of its being an exciting activity in which one runs more of a risk of being blocked by the opponent than in others.
One of the relevant coach task is to teach young soccer players to take risks, therefore, teach them dribbling.

Dribbling is an action that requires:

Direct confrontation with the opponent
The taking pleasure in “jumping him”
The motivation to do one’s best
Initiative and decision-making
Anticipation and quickness of movement

Not possible when one has:

Fear of being criticized or rejected
Doubts in execution and one is slow
Fear of not being competent
Fear of the opponent
Fear of making mistakes

Briefly:

Task-oriented + soccer players are + motivated to improve soccer skills and in dribbling.
Footballers who are + result-oriented and – improvement-oriented will put less effort into taking risks and making personal decisions such as in dribbling.

Decision-making processes

Published on August 30, 2022 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Mental coaching, Olimpiadi, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments Tags: decisione.

Deciding consists in a cognitive process from which it is not possible to escape. In fact, all forms of activity or inactivity, words or silence always stem from a decision, which may appear sometimes more spontaneous and sometimes more reasoned.

The construct called decision-making is relatively complex and consists of various aspects:

Deciding determines the actions of the person who made it and in turn influences others and the environment in which one is embedded.
To decide means to choose from among several alternatives that have some percentage probability of allowing the goal one has set to be achieved.
Deciding is a real skill, which involves making decisions quickly and effectively, taking risks, making decisions based on a suboptimal amount of information, and making use of one’s intuition.
Decision making, in business and sports, requires individuals who want to make choices in the necessary timeframe, who want to take calculated risks, who want to make a decision when the situation calls for it, even if they do not possess all the data they would like to have.
Deciding is a process that occurs in successive stages that must be respected.
Deciding requires knowledge of the context in which that decision is to be made and will have to be acted upon.
Deciding requires an adequate knowledge of one’s own way of being in these situations, does one consider oneself a more systematic or a more intuitive person?
Deciding sometimes requires the input of one or more people, knowing that the final decision must be made by those who have direct responsibility for that activity over which they are going to act.
The operationalization of the decision of a person who holds the role of expert or professional or is an athlete in large part is acted upon directly by him or herself.
The operativeness of the decision of a person in a managerial role or the coach of a team is not acted upon by him/her, but the actions are instead delegated to co-workers and players.

We do not need advice for every walk we take

Published on July 20, 2022 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Mental coaching, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments Tags: Camminare, decisione, estate.

We are constantly bombarded with advice and rules about how to do sports. We receive advice on how to exercise at dawn, how much we should drink when it’s hot, the best clothing for winter rather than summer, how to give continuity to our workouts, what to pay attention to when we run, the most appropriate music according to the intensity of the activity, and so on ad infinitum.

I wonder if this need induced and, in part, even demanded by people is not a way of giving up deciding for oneself how to do an activity and relying completely on the rules proposed by others.

If I have to consult an expert about what time it is best to walk for 30 minutes in the summer and how much I should drink during the day I actually give up my autonomy as an individual, I also give up experiencing what is best for me, and I become a person who adapts and gives up developing competence even through mistakes.

Now giacche is not talking about Olympic champion training but rather elementary activities, this surrender of one’s autonomy into the hands of others I find unjustifiable and disrespectful of one’s abilities.

Experts if one wants to train continuously and with obvious improvements appropriate to the time one intends to spend on that activity. But let’s rebel against this avalanche of advice that when it’s hot, tells us to dress light and not go out in the hottest prees. Let us not abdicate our critical thinking skills, otherwise we will become adults who have babysitters to carry out their daily lives.

Confidence and decision are two key factors of a match

Published on October 4, 2013 in Allenatori and Calcio. 0 Comments Tags: convinzione, decisione, Galatasaray, Juventus, Paura, tattica.

In team sports, the technique and tactics must become automatized through training, in this way the players can implement them without thinking in advance how they should have to play, but based on what it’s happening at any given time on the field they know in advance what to do. The intensity and quality of training allow teams to put in place their competences even in difficult conditions, under stress and fatigue. In addition, the teams that have also top-players obviously have more weapons to prove their worth and prevail over their opponents. There is, however, another factor that may hinder or promote the team play skills. It’s a psychological factor that refers to the mental attitude with which a team takes the field and can thus arise:

it’s an attitude convinced of the own abilities and decided to assert them in the field with a combative behavior of the players,
it’s an attitude convinced of the own abilities, but for some reason the team believes that this attitude will spontaneously out during the game,
it’s an approach not fully convinced of the own abilities and those fears are manifested during the game through game errors.

I am personally convinced of the need to train the players to live the matches with the first attitude of the three, in which the belief is combined with the awareness of having to show this attitude in any moment of the match. Many teams do not always show this attitude and then they make mistakes like those of superficiality made by Juventus players against Galatasaray. Then to play at the highest levels the top players are necessary and the same for the tactical schema, but in the same time it serves to demonstrate that the team is able to exert a constant pressure on opponents.
