Coaching discpline



Discipline is core to all sport activities; all parties to the game are supposed to behave in a desired manner. Not only players who are required to be disciplined in their way of life or during excersises or matches, but also coaches, trainers, managers etc.

If you are a youth coach especially those working with player aged under 14 years, you need to understand that discipline will be the centre of all issues between you and your players.

It is at this age that players must be assisted/shaped to have a very disciplined way of life on the pitch and outside the pitch. Displine cuts accross all areas from the way they interact with others to the way they train on the ground.

A disciplined player rarely finds himself in the trouble with a referee for infringement of rules of the game or in a bad relationship with fellow players. A disciplined player will be attentive to the teachings of his/her trainer; If you can work and succeed in the area of discipline with your players you will find it easier to implement other programs.

If you are training the younger group everything you do as a trainer adds to their understanding of the game; everything from the language you use to the gear you are wearing on the training ground. In a simple sentence is that; to them you are the key to success or destruction. To them you are the role model, their minds can be easily corrupted (that is why to my opinion youth(children)coaching should be regulated and closely monitored by Football associations).

Before you go and train young players make sure you are well prepared in terms of excersises you give, help them understand the value of discipline in their career as players.

In all you do DO NOT PRESSURE THEM TO ACHIEVE GOALS; try to encourage them. This will minimize drop out rate as children do not like to be pressured. Look for Drills that are fun and enjoyable.

Dar Young Africans Vs Simba Sports club

Tommorow (saturday 31/10/2009) is one of the big days in Tanzanian Soccer. Tanzania's soccer giants Yanga (young Africans) and Simba will clash at the National stadium in Dar es Salaam. The match is expected to attract many spectators than usual, we expect revenue collections to be high. Actually we look forward to watching this big event. In the midst of expectation I can not stop myself from wondering what actually will happen tommorow. I wish to very advanced soccer tactics from the big teams, I wish to hear from TFF that they have collected as much as they expected as gate collection, I wish to see fair officiating of the match. I wish to mature and fair behavior from fans, i wish for a lot good things to happen. But I know one thing for sure: It is possible that I wont see any of my wishes coming true. It is possible to hear from TFF saying that they run deficit from the match collection. We may end up seeing the usual none fair play game from players, players from each team m...

Today I just want to highlight purposes for some tactical exercises 2v1 ONE ACTS, ONE SUPPORTS, IN ATTACK OR WHEN DEFENDING. IN ATTACK, PLAYER WITH THE BALL COMMITS THE LONE DEFENDER THEN EITHER GOES PAST THEM OR PASSES TO THE SECOND ATTACKER. IN DEFENSE, NEAREST CHALLENGES, THE OTHER COVERS 3v1 IN DEFENSE, ONE CHALLENGES, ONE COVERS, THE THIRD BALANCES IN ATTACK, ONE COMMITS AN OPPONENT, ONE POSITIONS TO RECIEVE A POSSIBLE PASS, THE THIRD MAKES AN ATTACK RUN 4v2 DEFENDING - IS ABOUT THE 2 WORKING AS A PAIR TO CUT DOWN QUICKLY ANY POSSIBLE EASY SPACE FOR THE OPPONENT WITH THE BALL TO PASS TO ONE OF THE OTHER THREE ATTACKERS ATTACKING - IS ABOUT THE PLAYER WITH THE BALL HAVING THREE OPTIONS TO PASS IF THEY WISH TO (SUPPORT, PASS OPTIONS) 5v2 AS c. ONLY DEFENDING BECOMES MORE OF A POSITIONING TO FORCE THE BALL TO WHERE YOU CAN ATTACK IT FOT ATTACKING ITS ABOU...
