Tag Archive for 'talneto'

In football has become a very frequent to say that we have a few champions and for this reason our teams have difficulty becoming competitive at international level. The coaches say that we have a few football talents and that is the problem. Usually the definition of talent is based on the technical skills of the players and their athletic skills, while the coaches pay less attention to their psychological skills. This result in that we probably have only a young champion, El Shaarawy and many others that are definitely good, but that do not emerge for continuity of play and the ability to make a difference in a team. I think we should take more account of the mental development of players and their ability to adapt to different forms of play of the teams in our premiere league. If this is not done, the risk is to have good players but showing adjustment difficulties in the transition from one team to another or play against opponents who have different  systems to play. In addition, the high expectations of these players and their societies may represent a further obstacle to their success. Needless to say that mental training programs could be useful to them to carry out this profession with success.
