Football Psychology – Improve the 4 C’s Soccer Psychology – Dealing with Winning and Losing Football Psychology – The Coaches role

Football Psychology and Soccer coaching Psychology

Many of the top soccer coaches around the world have come to the conclusion that there are essentially three key elements required to be a top soccer and football player.

• Athletic ability – Speed, movement, strength, power, fitness etc
• Technical skills – Passing, dribbling, running with the ball, positional sense etc
• Football Psychology Qualities – Confidence, Commitment, Concentration and Composure

The football psychology area is designed to improve a soccer coaches awareness and understanding of why young people play football and soccer and how we can improve the psychological important four C’s in players:

• Confidence
• Commitment
• Concentration
• Composure

The football psychology chapter also focuses on and provides practical tips and help on:

• Understanding and improving these key psychology qualities that make such a difference to a soccer or football players performance.
• Simple methods in how a coach can use mental training skills within a soccer coaching programme
• Motivate football players so they can develop both as players and people

If as soccer coaches we have a better understanding of how we can improve and develop a football players psychological strengths and skills, then both players and coaches can learn how to become better and how to have more fun and enjoyment of the “beautiful game” through football psychology.

Most football coaches spend a great deal of time and energy striving to improve the technical and athletic abilities of their soccer players, but pay scant regard to what many top football coaches think is the most important muscle in the body – the brain.

Understanding football and soccer psychology will help you to improve as a coach.

There is no doubt that a confident soccer player, with self belief is by far a better player than one who lacks confidence and belief. Every football coach wants their players to be committed, focused and motivated.

The Football Psychology chapter of the site covers areas such as:

• Soccer Psychology to help players preparation and readiness
• Investigate what are the different kinds of mental imagery. Examine the way different uses of imagery can help a soccer player improve the four C’s of football psychology - Confidence, Commitment, Concentration and Composure.
