What do I need to become a coach?
Laureano Ruiz (one of the top experts in the football world) says that 70-80% of the young people who play football could become professionals if they meet these three conditions:
a) Be in a condition to practice this sport.
b) Be extremely hard-working.
c) Have a good teacher: a good football coach.
For these three reasons, ensuring the future quality of football needs good coaches to be trained and for them to become a fundamental figure in player development.
A football coach should meet the following requirements:
• Have played football (not necessarily as a professional) in order to have knowledge of the game and make better decisions during the game.
• Be a good educator; it is not enough to simply have the necessary technical-tactical skills.
• Be enthusiastic, a good motivator and convey a very positive attitude.
• Not be obsessed with winning at any cost. They must instil in the player that victory and defeat form part of the game.
• Know about the characteristics of each age group: they should be able to structure training sessions, content and methods based on the age of the children.
• Know how to decide what the player is best at and in which position to play them.
• Know how to identify player flaws and be able to correct them with good training.
• Be able to monitor a match and take corrective measures quickly to harness team potential (.) (switch players, change formation, vary the game plan, etc.).
If you meet these requirements… Keep reading! You could be a great football coach.
