СКАЧАТЬ best teacher for training is the competition” (Cramer, 1987).

      “From the competition we understand what we have to train” (Krauspe-Rauhut-Teschner, 1990).

      “If the competition is the best training, it is also true that a good workout must necessarily have the nature of a competition” (Northpoth, 1988).

      “The secret of soccer is always in the training session” (Beenhakker, 1990).

      “The central objective of every soccer training must be to improve the player’s ability to act” (Bisanz-Gerisch, 1990).

      From these quotes it appears that the soccer training of the condition must be assimilated to the practice of the game or possibly be integrated with it. Therefore training is not an end in itself but it follows the objective of “improving the ability to play and to optimize the ability to act”.

      If on the one hand we want to reduce the importance of the factors of physical condition, on the other hand it will be appropriate to encourage in soccer training an exercise of speed of action that orients the practice of the game keeping in mind all the factors of performance at a technical-tactical and psycho-social level. This means that it is necessary to give more importance to training close to the practice of the game with more and more specialized methods and means. (Lottermann, 1990).

COACH MUST 1) Know athletes well and work to constantly improve their learning and training. 2) Analyze with the athletes and the managers the reasons for the success and the causes of the poor results. 3) Contribute to the formation of the group, sense of responsibility and respect. 4) Encourage athletes to follow a regular workout. 5) Worry about the health of athletes. 6) Inculcate in athletes a sense of attachment to the team colors and the respect of social ownership. 7) Encourage athletes to participate with commitment to each training. 8) Take care of their own professional update. 9) Keep a daily training record. 10) Prepare the training in order to arouse the interest of the players for physical, technical and tactical exercises.

TRAINING OF YOUNG PLAYERS

      It is opportune to dwell first on the most serious errors that are committed with regard to the goals of youth training.

      The first mistake is to relate the young to a reduced image of the adult without considering that he has a personality still in training, ways of thinking still evolving and above all completely different physique and abilities. Adult training cannot be transferred to the youth sphere, perhaps only by paying attention to reducing the quantity and intensity.

      The increase in physical capacity cannot be proposed in the same way for young people and adults, indeed there must be further differentiation even in the same youth field, according to age groups.

      Lead, for example, a cycle of training for 12-13 year olds (very young) with the aim of achieving maximum performance to achieve immediate successes; it means distorting the spirit of training itself; in fact, the boy must be led gradually and in small steps and over the years towards the desired return.

      A preparation too fast and early, which is usually always linked to achieving ambitious goals for adults, will give significant results in the short run, but it certainly causes damage that almost always are irreversible.

      When young people and adolescents in particular are subjected to an excessive physical and psychological burden, their motivation for what they are doing decreases; their desire diminishes until they reach a real refusal in the face of the first failures. So you can understand how many times the young players after training with their team, find themselves (in the oratory, in the yard or in open spaces) to finally play soccer.

      A graded and targeted workout leads to a higher degree of physical and athletic preparation in adulthood and keeps it stable longer over time.

      At the end of the youth cycle the player must:

       have reached a correct physical maturation;

       have acquired a complete technical background;

       have acquired a correct tactical sense;

       have developed the so-called “qualities of will” indispensable to obtain lasting results, that is:

       availability for group work;

       collaboration spirit;

       willingness to learn and work;

       awareness of improvements through commitment;

       desire to emerge.

      These qualities act positively not only in sports, but they are a great help to face life and the difficulties of every day.

      Alongside these primary objectives, we must consider other aspects that are of great importance for the training of young people:

      - maintenance and care of health and personal hygiene;

      - the organization and employment of free time;

      - the game of soccer and its training must remain in second place with respect to school or work;

      - training must not involve risks to the health and future growth of the young person;

      - joy and serenity must always be placed in the foreground: therefore avoid tiring, monotonous and repetitive workouts (this does not mean that you cannot repeat exercises already carried out);

      - young people must always be able to draw constructive and socializing experiences from training;

      - along with soccer young people must be able to pursue other interests especially at a cultural level.

      The coach of the youth sector must know how to recognize a potential soccer player by evaluating his skills and competences related to:

      TECHNIQUE:

      - global attitude to movement;

      - sensitivity to ball contact and skill in its control;

      - good attitude to defend the ball in certain game situations.

      TACTICS

      - sense of orientation;

      - promptness in the ability to judge on the advance planning of offense and defending play moves.

      PERSONALITY QUALITIES:

      - ability to impose himself;

      - resoluteness of purpose;

      - constancy of will;

      - good social behavior;

      - modesty in knowing how to put oneself at the service of others.

      PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

      - physical constitution which reveals an adequate and regular development;
