6 reasons not to focus on results

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
