In the pitch with the young players with enthusiasm and curiosity

Published on December 30, 2014 in Allenatori, Calcio, Giovani and Young and Football. 0 Comments Tags: allenatori, Calcio, football, pulcini, Scuola, soccer.

The young players called in Italian football pulcini are the second category of the football school in order of age and include children aged 8 to 10 years. Very often coaches are extremely satisfacted of them, emphasizing the interest and enthusiasm that at this age children showt on the pitch. The satisfaction of the coaches is explained by the evolutionary moment that children of this age live. They live a break in their evolutionary process, they become masters of their body and their mental faculties, becoming aware of themselves, helped by a better definition of the body schema and also by a better level of sociability. All these features put your child away from the continuous self-discovery typical of the previous stage and still far from the confused adolescent storm. It is this that makes it possible to define the young players of this age as more coachable of the football school. This definition, however, does not delete the difficulties that can be encountered in the group management. Beyond the technical and tactical dimensions is important, as always, to know the psychological dynamics belonging to this age group and also the most effective communication style to be used with these young players. Here are some ideas about what to do when we are working with them.

What To Do:

Engage constantly reducing at the minimum the pauses and waits
Build their psychological autonomy (means to know how to solve problems)
Propose exercises in which they must take decisions
Reinforce not only the correctness of the choices, but the ability to make choices
Promote the ability to take calculated risks
Insert in training exercises teaching to maintain a balance between individual risk and collective game
Lead to internalize the rules of the group
Teaching to work in a competitive environment
Structuring training with the aim to promote collaboration
Decrease the individualism (at this age tend to feed itself: you do so, then, me too)
Help them to assess what attitude or situation determine the mistakes even through personal examples

Knowing how to handle the young players means, not only to develop their technical and tactical skills, but also to support their enthusiasm and curiosity.

Sport: reward or punishment?

Published on September 29, 2014 in Allenatori, Calcio, Giovani and Young and Football. 0 Comments Tags: adolescenti, bambini, Calcio, genitori, rendimento, Scuola.

The school is started and many parents worried about school performances often cut sport. Football is one of them. Workouts jumping and sport abandoned if the scool results are bad. Physical activity is considered a premium and therefore is used as punishment.

The latin sentence “Mens sana in corpore sano” contains a deep truth that becomes even more realistic if associated with childhood and adolescence. Accustom your child to an adequate management of the school and the sport times is the winning educational strategy that focuses on the sense of responsibility, stimulating the organizational skills of the young. The desire to be on time for the training stimulates to organize, to pull out the management skills. It’s important for parents to learn how to use the wishes of children and young people as a stimulus and not as a source of punishment, this in order to achieve stable results not associated with the punitive moment.
The World Health Organization too in the “Global Recommendations on Physical Activity” defines for each age group the quantity of physical activity recommended. Between 5 and 17 years is recommended that: “at least 60 minutes a day of moderate-to-vigorous activity, including at least 3 times a week strength exercises that may consist of movement games or sports activities.”
This interest in physical activity during childhood and adolescence confirms the importance of sport for the physical and psychological growth of the new generations. The first step is to stop to consider sport as a whim of the children, to be used as a reward or punishment, but a key aspect to be integrated in the educational development of the young.

The youth players’ rights

Published on July 14, 2014 in Allenatori, Calcio, Giovani and Young and Football. 0 Comments Tags: bambini, Calcio, diritti, Scuola.

We are approaching the time when sport clubs began to organize their activities. The football schools program the new year and in September the fields will be filled with children. Statistics say that half of the children chose football. In light of this, it is important to remind all those who work in football schools that children are not little adults and that it is not enough to work with the passion for football, you need a passion for the world of children, you had to know what they think, how they think, what they can do. Especially you had to know how to deal with them. These fundamental principles from the “Charter of children’s rights and the” Charter of the Rights of boys in sport “should always be a reference for anyone involved in football or any other youth sport:

The right to have fun and play
The right to play sports
The right to a healthy environment

Michelle Obama and the sport at school

Published on June 27, 2013 in Generale and Giovani. 0 Comments Tags: divertimento, Michelle Obama, movimento, Scuola, sedentarietà, sport, sport illustrated kids.

From Sport Illustrated Kids, interview to Michelle Obama, talking about the relevance to practice sport at school.

“We have a challenge. Kids are spending most of their day in school, where there is not a lot of activity on a daily basis. And they’re coming home to spend the rest of that day in front of a TV, or on an iPad, or on some kind of screen. So, that leaves very little time for movement. Schools are the best place to incorporate exercise because kids need that break in between studies to just give their minds a chance to settle. We want to make sure people understand that movement isn’t just about being a good athlete. There are a lot of kids who shy away from activity because they think, “Well, I’m not coordinated.” But the truth is that movement is pumping your arms, it’s dancing, it’s touching your toes, it’s identifying your physical strengths and not comparing yourself to your classmate, because we are all different. So we want to make activity fun again for kids in schools.”

Coaching adolescents

Published on May 17, 2013 in Generale and Giovani. 0 Comments Tags: adolescenti, impegno, Insep, Jacques Commers, Paris, Scuola, sport, tecnologia.

Jacques Commeres is the assistant coach of the French basketball team and introduces the theme of the training of adolescents all’INSEP Congress held in Paris. According to the coach, basketball is a sport that requires discipline and creativity. He said that young people today are different from those he has known since he began his career. For him the impatience of youth and their need to stay connected can be a problem as to develop and validate what you have learned during the training sessions because it needs certain time after the workout. Personally, I think the young people of the ’80s were more rebels than those of today and permissive education was already very popular among parents. I agree on the problem that the technological revolution that has invested them reduces their ability to pay attention for long periods of time. The adolescents need to be trained in school as in sports to tackle the tasks with a commitment to remain constant over time and motivated in performing those repetitive tasks that are present in any business.

The desire to succeed.

Published on March 5, 2013 in Corsa, Generale, Giovani and Libri. 0 Comments Tags: abbandono, correre, cultura, genitori, modelli, Scuola.

The book by Adharanand Finn “Running with the Kenyans” shows that the dominant feature in order to become an athlete in Kenya is: the desire to succeed. It’s this idea that acts as a locomotive for all the others. This idea should make us think as too often we as parents, teachers or coaches think that it is not the result of a culture where the young grow but almost a gift that it has touched someone. While attribute it at the culture in which we live, it means to know the answer to the drop-out of young people from the sport but also from the school.

It is not just a personal matter of every boy and girl, it depends on how it’s organized our social environment. If in Kenya there is a culture of race rooted and pervasive, how do we develop a culture of sport in Italy, but also to study so significant? What are the models to emulate that send to young people? Because if we do not act to answer these questions, we will never integrate with the need for commitment and dedication with an abundance offer of schooling and sports.

Have the opportunity to choose between multiple paths is to be welcomed but it becomes useless if it is not combined with the desire to succeed. In case of failure is jumping from one school to another, who can pay a diploma in a private school or leave school altogether. But if the kids do not know or choose not undertake, the responsibility is of the school and the parents who are not good teachers.

Italy against the sport-student liason (1)

Published on March 6, 2012 in Generale. 0 Comments Tags: atleti, Scuola, sport.

Il quotidiano La Stampa pubblica, ieri e oggi, due denunce sull’impossibilità in Italia di essere studente e atleta. Siamo alle solite perchè chi vuole diventare musicista frequenta il conservatorio mentre agli studenti-atleti è vietata questa opzione? Inoltre il ministro dell’Istruzione ha detto che sono stati stanziati milioni di euro per consentire l’attività fisica a scuola, personalmente sapevo il contrario e lo verifico ogni giorno dalle testimonianze continue di cui ho notizia. Perchè in Italia lo sport è considerato attività per decerebrati? Il ministro dice che si istituiranno licei a orientamento sportivo, che si tradurrà in più ore di educazione fisica, bene ma non è questa la soluzione. Fare l’atleta nella scuola secondaria significa dedicare almeno tre ore tutti i giorni, in che modo la scuola risponderà a questa esigenza? Si tratta di 18 ore alla settimana e non di due ore in + di attività fisica a scuola. Come verrà calcolato il temo dedicato alle competizioni? Questi argomenti non li ho mai vistoi trattati ma neanche argomentati dai politici. Molto male, evviva chio nasce in un altro paese.
