Another weekend - Another good performance from all players! My U6 girls had a great game too! Do all my players have mental toughness: some have it. Some don't.
Can we teach toughness?
There are practical and simple ways for coaches to enhance the mental touhgness of their players.
One of the first challenges is getting the athletes to learn from themselves as they progress self awareness in the foundation of learning and development. Athletes need to develop self confidence by using their skills.
The work that I am doing with skills helps your child's self confidence on the field, giving them the ability to hold the ball under pressure until the point where they either pass or shoot. Through my program, players learn to take risks, challenge and develpop foot skills.
Well, that is what I am trying to do!
