Values also play in football
Who has won? Have you fun? Two very different questions. With the second it should start something as simple and easy as it is interested in the fun of our children in the sport. But today, you are forgetting; on the other hand, the first question are tired listening to it continuously. In an indirect manner, we are already pressing encouraging results and competitiveness at a time of negative emotions be facilitating.
"Here is where I want to name the"fear”, that enemy of thousands of athletesspecifically of players with whom I work, a ballast that carry many of them regardless of the age.
Their relationship to both parents and coaches and managers directly or indirectly with children is fundamental to generate enthusiasm and motivation for sports, but quite the opposite when the tool used is the pressure, which makes it easy to display fear, anxiety and the abandonment of the same.
The pressure that athletes of base categories are today you want to seem more and more to that of a first Division team; pressed with the results, with winning sole objective, the crowd responds with the same anxiety that if saw a professional party, with his son is better than the other, that if it is necessary to put a kick to succeed the move is allowed and we have parents and coaches that also motivates them.
I wonder and effort? Anyone remember him? So beautiful and so enriching value that goes unnoticed in many football clubs, when it should be the main aim today.
Why not them we have grow? No sense speed and endangering the process of formation of their children. Life as we grow, everything is just becoming a competition: getting good grades to choose the University career, jobs, money... They already have time to compete.
The best thing for these stages is that they can enjoy the tranquility of the sport that they have chosen and without pressure of any kindleaving little by little make them decide. There are also parents and coaches who encourage them, support them and who don't give importance to the results. They are only interested to be happy, to acquire healthy habits that respect teammates, rivals, with the referee and a coach. Although they are less, I encourage them to continue supporting or their children, always being near them, choose the sport they choose. The important thing is that you enjoy playing sport and something as beautiful as football and not forget that values also play!
