THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUTH FOOTBALL



The great importance of youth football

As a first entrance to our blog we would like to comment that: "The training of attacking football", written by Javier Lavandeira collaboration with Juan Carlos Valeron.





The whole book we highlight a small section of the introduction entitled "What do we mean by training? / Relationship competition", which I think pretty much sums up the importance of grassroots football, as what matters is the formation rather results.

    "Working on the base so many years has led me to ask some ideas that started training, for example, word formation, especially when some colleagues used it as a synonym of defeats, we lose because we are focused on training.

    To my training is not incompatible with the results, provided they do not invest priorities, ie training must be related to improvement of football at all levels. If you get that the player is able to improve individual level, will enable the improvement of the group of players who act with him and ultimately improve overall therefore they will reach positive results without these are our primary purpose "

By this we focus one of the first items to be discussed, which is the importance of growth as a player before the result. It is very lawful find the team get great results, I get thrashings, but that can not be above the growth of children. What has to import is getting the growth characteristics of football (as a defense, doorman, or looking for the features that best suit their way of being / play), not forgetting the results.

    "The essence of the player base is that you gain a solid foundation on which to establish the process of football-personal maturity, which must be related to improvements that allow gradually and burning stages, become a footballer competitive at all levels: decisional, psychological, physical, etc ... "

Training needs to be focused on achieving improved player and not only in the físico.Tiene looking to grow in all areas, be able to interpret the parties, seeking the best solutions, improving the physical, vital aspect in many cases, and being those of "unite" with the tactical side.

Think for yourself, learning from their mistakes and being able to improve to become a better player, knowing what is best for the individual aspect, but seeking balance with the rest of the group.

    "But the competition also has its own sense, competing to experience what they learn, evolve through competition and gradually adapted to real situations proposed football.

    It also competes to evaluate and draw conclusions about our work. "

We can not forget, nevertheless, that indeed the competition is present in everyone's mind. But as I said sometimes we can not pose as paramount. The competition has to be addressed as how to see if children have grasped what is taught, and as a way to teach other aspects that help in growth. The result of the competition, ultimately, has to be the least important. If they fail and do not win the tournament, we have to say is that nothing happens, discuss with them their faults, and use them to avoid being committed again. They understand that competition is necessary, but that is not the main thing.

    "Finally say that at the base, each child has their own pace of learning acquisition, we respect them, adapt and give different answers as required marking heterogeneity."





We believe very important to see and do reflection on this book and its contents, because if something is done wrong in these categories, is the wrong approach gives your preparation and therefore development.

What do you think about this topic?
