Description
Developing the skills of young footballers requires more than just technical ability. Coaches need to understand how to nurture the mental toughness, emotional intelligence, and teamwork that sets successful players apart. This book provides a practical guide to coaching psychological skills in youth football, focusing on the 5Cs: Commitment, Communication, Concentration, Control, and Confidence.
By following the methods and exercises outlined in this book, coaches can help young players develop the skills they need to succeed, both on and off the pitch. A 12-month development plan is included, along with a real-world case study from a coach who has experienced the benefits of the 5C approach firsthand.
Whether you're a seasoned coach or just starting out, this book will provide you with the tools and techniques you need to grow and apply a world-class knowledge of sport psychology in youth football.
