In the curriculum of virtually every good coach should include: "Specialist life lessons." What more could you want! Is the person beyond their knowledge of the game, is characterized by the great condition: the ability to create the right climate for his players to learn, to make them the best not only by his technique but also his example .
One of the great football coach Vince Lombardi was coach of the New York Giants, who after each game, showing the logic and the technical and mental aspects of each play. He claimed that beyond the instruction is teaching. Do not apply a technique for its own sake, but to demonstrate the reasons why, repeat ad nauseam, until his understanding. Lombardi was characterized by the depth, clarity and sense of his words. His repetitions, many of which were made by some players as boring, it acquired great weight by their sense and he would say. "Many players say they are boring repetitions. I do not think they are, but they are boring and those who think that lack of energy and discipline. They do not understand what the purpose and value of the repetition of a play. "
He is responsible for many phrases that have inspired in various disciplines in the world. Some of his most famous are:
"" Winning is not everything, that's all. "
"" If will be excited with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. "
"" To be successful in whatever you propose, do pay a price. "
"" They call it coaching but it is actually taught. Do not just tell them what to do ... please explain. "
"" I never win a game unless you complete the guy in front of you. The score does not matter. Only good for the fans. You have to win the war with the man who stands before you. You have to beat your man. "
"" The more you work, the harder it is to surrender. "
"" Once you learn to surrender, that becomes a habit. "
"" It is not often that you throw to the ground, but how many times you get up. "
are phrases that could well be on the billboard or on the board of any wardrobe Argentina. Feel like putting on your costume?
Some features that every coach should consider:
- Reinforce the positive. Do not emphasize the negative.
- Education and learning are based on the need to be a little better, focusing on the positive and ignoring the negative. This factor is very important that before issuing a sentence, the mind registers the first images without consider the essence of prayer. For example, if you tell a player. "Do not throw the ball crooked," the word "No", not recorded in the mind, and that has no meaning and mental representation. The player will focus on crooked and it is what you will think in practice. On the contrary, "Throw it right" sends a different signal which emphasizes what needs to be done in what should be avoided. The use of positive words up the team spirit and creates an atmosphere of tranquility.
- Recognize that the player often do not know and is afraid to ask.
- Repetition is a fundamental tool in teaching. It is better to repeat something they know, they miss something that may not be realized. Therefore, before explaining a slogan coach or teacher must follow the following sequence:
- Do you understand? - Ask the coach or player
Answer yes or no equipment. Coach
-Answer - Well, now explĂquenmelo me.
That way, no mistakes of interpretation, as can often happen that a player for fear of losing face or embarrassment to his colleagues do not dare to ask, or say that cross-examination did not understand and see the results after on the court.
- Limit the amount of information.
- We must understand that the capacity of processing and assimilating new information is limited, especially in times of high tension. If they get more than two goals in a game is very difficult to meet because of pressure situations will forget them. Be clear, precise, making the game simple. Goals should be few but realistic, tangible, credible. The above information leads to misinformation and the player misses the majority of the targets.
- Log in head-on with the players and know base.
- call them by their names or nicknames, to know the qualities and characteristics of each one of them. This example is Invictus saw in the film, where the great leader Nelson Mandela learn the particular information for each player prior to the group.
- talk together, not only looking at some or the best players. Observe their reactions to obtain additional information from them. Eye contact and require the same response.
- When speaking to a particular player, try to establish physical contact with the player to strengthen and control their attention. For example, put her hand on his shoulder, calling him aside, slap on your back, etc.
The player who shows more difficulty in the game but trains with more dedication and effort that must be will devote more attention and support. Performance objectives outweigh the outcome, because playing without pressure, the numbers come alone.
- Create a positive climate for effective learning.
Intensify internal motivation every day striving to be better players, reinforcing signs of effort and sacrifice rather than the results. Make them talk about their fears or concerns of practice. How can we know what we have to correct if we define what we are thinking or fear?
Using mistakes as learning environment rather than lament of disability.
The player who makes no mistakes does not exist. Learning does not always mean doing things right, but also to take risks and dare to do the right thing. The three things that a coach should question their players before the error are:
"What were you trying to do - thinking
" What Went Wrong-criticism, technical error or psychological
"What will you do next time - strengthening Maintain positive
open channels of communication.
tone, time, language and nonverbal communication affect the reception of messages. Pay attention to body language. Sometimes a gesture is stronger and hit more than one word. Able to speak, to listen and understand us to use our information. Every good communication requires a sender and a receiver and heard the same thing up in the upper campus, must be the same that you hear down in the lower divisions. Many times I have seen problems of messages having to upload an intermediate player at first and did not understand some game codes. You must also learn to use, appreciate and respect the silence. Teaching
handle negative emotions and aggression.
It is well known that "he who loses heat." Strong emotions are only able to get us out of the game, with the possibility of yellow or red card. This is taken as a disrespect for the team, the coach and coaching staff. Do not waste energy in discussions, arguments, claims that all they do is decentralize the team. Instead of wasting energy in the controllable why not focus on aspects of the game that we can control?
coach also must maintain and sustain their beliefs and ideals both in the defeats as victories. A coach who loses hope, loses motivation. There will always be factors that can decay the strength of the team, but this does not mean that blurs the atmosphere of teaching and learning. The goal of every player to compete positively and it is learned through the trust others have in you. The challenge for any coach is to instruct, teach, support. Understand the player, listen and help him to understand himself.
