When you are just starting out, playing in a minor league it is very difficult to stay motivated, that is why today I am going to show you how to stay motivated as a soccer athlete.
Motivation level then acts into how you must coach any given team or group. With lower motivation athletes, you’re becoming to need to do a little bit more “prodding” to get them going and performing at the level you would like.
These will generally be the kids that you need to work the hardest with, and there perhaps a certain level of hand-holding until they begin to see build-up and/or change.
In contrast, upper-level athletes inherently understand that doing weight training, ploys, and legerity drills will improve their performance.
These are the athletes with whom you can take a more “hands-off” access and will answer well to fine-tuning and minor coaching job accommodations.
They’ll be the best at helping you baffle a large group of athletes, and may even pick up and employ some of the coaching maneuvers you use!
Anyone who has ever had a high-motivation kid who’s also the best athlete on the team up knows what I’m talking about here.
Quite plainly, you can’t treat all levels of athletes the same. Ascertain their level of motivation and adapt your coaching style as a necessity.
Goal Setting for Soccer Athletes should be Specific
Set particular mensurable goals. If you achieve all circumstances of a measurable goal, then you are able to be convinced and easy in its achievement.
Goals may be set unrealistically high for the following reasons:
1. Other people: others (fans, parents, media) can set unrealistic goals for you, based on what they want. Oftentimes this will be done in ignorance of your goals and training programs.
2. Deficient information: If you do not have an absolved, realistic agreement of your sport and of the methods and performance to be mastered, it is difficult to set efficient and realistic goals.
3. Always expecting your best performance: Many people base their goals on their best functioning, even so, that was farseeing.
This brushes aside the inevitable backsliding that can come about permanent reasons and ignores the factors that led to that best performance. It is better to set goals that bring up your average outperformance and make it more logical.
4. Lack of self-esteem: If you do not respect your right to rest, ease, and pleasure in life then you risk blowing out, then you can confirm it or analyze the reason for failure and accept advantageous action to improve skills.
Final words
So that is it, that is how you stay motivated as a soccer athlete, if you are yet to make a grade, keep working hard and learning and eventually your time will come.
