6 reasons not to focus on results
- To win, you have to top the team
- Uses mature players born early in the year
- Few players get the opportunity — in good talent development one should cultivate all
- Don't explore every facet of the game — don't dare try new things
- Pressure from parents, coaches and club increases chance of dropout
- World-class athletes cultivate multiple sports in children and youth
A number of studies, and scientific reviews, show the exact opposite.
Concrete tips:
- Have ice in your stomach — believe you have plenty of time
- Focus on the quality of your workout -- not quantity
- Do more sports — It is not essential that the sports are similar to each other. It's all about learning from other sports
