The soccer Italian problems come also from the coaches too guaranteed

The matches in Italian football premiere league too often demonstrate that concepts such as:

  • Go beyond your limits and maintain high standards
  • Excel for themselves
  • Compete to outdo the other

are not part of the current culture of the teams with some rare exceptions.

The question is why  atsuccessful professional football players is not taught to start the match with the determination and concentration required to play a match. The coaches think their team will play in a certain way, then this is not the case. Maybe compared to the big Italian coaches of the past than at present they have become so presumptuous as to convince themselves that their presence is enough to inspire courage? Maybe because they earn too much and are too guaranteed from the economic point of view, then, based on this condition they believe not be criticized for this reason they do not use collaborators who might represent the critical consciousness that is missing in them.

On the contrary, the experiences of high-level leadership in the business teach just that, alongside the great leaders there is always another expert that confront openly and verifies that their ideas are implemented. Perhaps the coaches could learn to use collaborators able to know if their players are willing to play till the end, or are willing to give up an inch at a time. Why this is the difference between winning and being dominated.

The referee mistakes

Start a new season in football as for the other team sports, and referees play a vital role for the proper running of the championships. To the umpires does not like to be told that they can make mistakes for excessive personal arrogance or  subordination to the teams and players. I’m not talking about technical incompetence, because in this case the mistake is not so much the referee showing this difficulty, but rather of those who have designated him for that game. On the contrary, even the most experienced international referee can make mistakes due to an excess of will to impose himself or viceversa due to an excessive caution in respect of the home team or  the most famous players. Errors of presumption or subjection toward the opponents are also showed by the high-level teams, because they are part of those behaviors in which anyone can fall when the competitive tension is very intense. The referees and their managers should not therefore deny this kind of errors, because they can occur even in the most competent people. The referees should be trained to recognize when these attitudes begin to appear in their behaviors on the field, so as to correct them immediately. A rule that I would like to transmit to the referees is to never deny themselves a difficult time but instead to recognize it as soon as possible and change their behaviors in a positive way.

Champions are better because they quickly react to the difficulties

There may be many aspects that make the difference between a champion and a good athlete and that depend on the physical characteristics and physiological state of each, the quality and quantity of training, living in a social environment that sustains and protects and the psychological skills developed in daily work and in the race. All these features are necessary and often lead to say that this particular athlete is just a talent. They are not sufficient to predict the success that the sport stars reach. In my opinion, the decisive characteristic lies in the reaction to the difficulties, it is then that you wonder if the young man has what it takes to be a champion. The pragmatic North Americans from the time they realized it and they coined the saying, “No matter how many times you fall, but how fast you get up.” In this way, the error is never seen as an expression of failure but as a common difficulty encountered in the path and as such it needs to be addressed. Sometimes instead of athletes after an error have problems refocusing again on their performance, for the reason that they continue to remain a prisoner of thought connected to the error. So after the error are confused, because they think the causes which led up to, rather than continue to stay focused on what is happening in the field. Other times they start the competition with the belief that they will not make mistakes and so when they do the first, they are shocked and are not ready to react. Other times the error is not living as a fact likely, but as a demonstration that they are not  skilled enough to deal with these situations and this thinking accentuate their insecurity with the effect of increasing the probability of making another mistake.

The most serious error is to assume that, since you have been exercising well, the race will be good. In this case, the athlete enter in a state of conceit, when in fact it is assumed that there will be no problems. The situation, however is just the opposite, because in every competition there are phases of difficulties that challenge the athlete’s conviction and determination. Those who think that it is enough to be fit and not willing to react to problems with strength and decision will provide a performance under his possibilities. In other words, the athletes have to train themselves to live the difficulties with the following  spirit of : “Great I am in a difficult time, so I have the opportunity to train to get out of this problem.”

Inter have lost the momentum

Inter has been lost. After 9 consecutive wins in the last three games has got 2 losses and 1 draw against teams from the lower level. Probably it was hypothesized a decline in mental tension after the victory against Juventus but this condition is protracted for two more games. Presumption and mental fatigue are the two symptoms that hit Inter at this stage of the season. Diseases commons to those who are not used to being at the top of the championship, the team begins to believe that it will continue to win even if committed less. It’s a real form of magical thinking affecting all the players who takes the field confidents of winning for doing so until the previous game or to have defeated the league leaders. The inexperience of the coach to stay at high level he did not permit to him to prevent this negative state of mind, on the contrary, entirely foreseeable. In fact, after the victory against Juventus, the team would have to provide proof of its value just playing with the same mind  intensity even the following Sunday, but that has not happened and continued to get lost even in the next two. Certainly Inter will recover from this stage but it will have to wait to get a long series of positive results, before to know if  it become immune to this syndrome  based on the presumption virus.
