We should keep in mind that we are not manufacturing a product but rather we are forming a boy which is inserted in the society. Therefore the psychological areas and intellectual are fundamental and as many times the technicians have to work in clubs that don't have psychologists, etc. we have to be some everything and we should dominate the minimum aspects of those questions.

Psychological area: In principle on this area should know which the normal evolution of the small ones is and there we will understand why? to certain age all do run together behind a ball (6 years), why? don't they pass it (are they egocentric) and why? newly to the 8 years you begins to give soccer "seriously" because to that age they are open to assimilate the basic concepts of the soccer, newly to the 12 or 13 years we will incorporate the first basic notions of tactical while until that age the individual technique will prevail.
Parallelly we will have to act on the psychic part of the players. We should foment the one that you/they want to win but we should also teach them to that you/they can lose and of those defeats to take out teachings that contribute for the next achievements. We should also control to the "group" that this is healthy, avoiding those "cliques" so that all feel part of him. It is necessary to take care that those "loaded" they are healthy and that nobody comes out wounded of them that alone they are to have a good time in the whiles of rests.
Another point to work is the player's self-esteem that is valued as person and I eat sportsman, how many more technical elements we give him more it will be valued as player and the more we speak to him it will overcome better its fears and he/she will work more firmly on its limitations. To the boys we grab them in an age that you/they are forming their personality which will condition the rest of their lives, we should know that there are different personalities (Personality = Temperament + Character) and that to some boys so that they surrender we should "to press them" since low pressure enlarges and to other boys on the contrary, if we press them they will be reduced and they will fill with fears, to these last ones we should in each good action to congratulate them and to minimize its errors so that they don't fall psychically. Alone knowing to the group, being well near them, we will be able to know which it corresponds to each case.


Intellectual area: As the life futbolística of a professional player it is not very long (we should also consider those that won't end up being professional) we should prepare them before for the, the one during and the one after their life like player. For this reason they should never abandon their studies which can and they should develop them parallelly to the trainings. The study will give him a general spectrum of the life that he/she will help him to be unwrapped in the moment that you/they put him before a microphone to make him some interview and until he/she will teach him as being developed in other environments outside of the sport in question.
Although every time it happens less, it is lamentable to see the way that some professional players are expressed in the moment that you/they interview them, with the added difficulty that some technicians prioritize the part futbolística on the human one when they should go in parallel form.
For that reason we foment the study while he/she is formed it as player.
