Seeing Zhang Sheng's focused eyes, Heiko Fogel also felt a sense of accomplishment, and after taking a sip of coffee, he continued: "At the beginning, during and at the end of each of my training sessions, I will explain the content of this training, ask the players the reason and purpose of training like this, and ask the players again at the end of the class. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt the end of a training session, 50% of junior players may not be able to master the technical movements taught in one session, but they know in their hearts why they should learn this movement and when they should use it. In this way, you, as a coach, have a clear understanding of the progress of the players, which is also a pedagogical success. So there's no need to take a purely commanding approach and simply give the player the conclusion that 'this kid is not fit to play, he can't learn.' ’”

As a former youth coach, Zhang Sheng agrees with Heiko Fogel's words.

Zhang Sheng also knows that guiding the players in training is far more effective than directly ordering the players. When you train a player to dribble from one area to another, one player changes the course of the ball to avoid the crowd and changes the direction of the ball to reach the designated area. Coaches should praise the player for being observant and thinking at this point, but instead of encouraging them, many coaches tell them what is right and then ask them to practice over and over again. The rules of training should be simplified so that players can focus more on the practice itself, and develop the child's independent judgment skills instead of being "robots".

After talking about the usual training, Heiko Fogel talked about the youth competition: "I went around the world this time and saw a lot of young people's games, and during the game, I noticed an obvious problem, which was not with the players, but with the coaches' performance during the game. To give you a recent example, when I visited Xiangfan last month, I happened to meet them in a match in the 7-year-old group, and there were coaches on both sides of the pitch, and they were all shouting incessantly, and the content of the shouting was nothing more than rough instructions and even reprimands for the players. ”

Speaking of this, Heiko Fogel said helplessly: "During the game, it is necessary to communicate between the coach and the players, but it is the players, not the coach, who play on the field, and those rough instructions are not beneficial to the players, and will only make the players feel more stressed, and even confused." 'Run here, pass the ball, run ...... there' The coach was playing live evolution soccer, missing a handle in his hand, and the kids were being manipulated by him. The coach yelled at the players on the pitch and did not help in the slightest. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng's mind immediately appeared the scene that Heiko Fogel said, and he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Seeing Zhang Sheng's helpless smile, Heiko Fogel continued: "I think if the game is like this, with a huge psychological pressure and the fear of losing, the players will only play worse and worse. As a coach, you have plenty of time to explain the issues exposed in the game to the players before, during half-time, and after the game, but don't blame the players during the game, and never point fingers at a player in front of the whole team. This kind of behavior, in my opinion, is a verbal punishment and even humiliation, and has a great impact on the mental state of the players. Not to mention that the children on the field are so young, the accusations of these coaches not only affect the game, but also affect the children's relationship and face. ”

Zhang Sheng responded seriously: "That's true, not only the youth game, but also the players can't be blamed blindly during the game. ”

"It seems that we have the same idea, then I will talk about my general approach in the game, you can also give some opinions" Hearing Zhang Sheng's response, Heiko Fogel was also very excited, and he didn't know if it was his own entry into the state, or the stimulation of caffeine, he continued: "Once, my team was down 0-3 at half-time, the defenders and goalkeepers performed very badly, and the players were often tackled and conceded on the field. That's when I give the players some simple encouragement: 'Look up, pay attention, you can score a goal'. This simple way will give positive encouragement to the players. Of course, in the end the game ended in defeat and the players still performed badly, but it doesn't do any good to scold and blame the players. ”

"At halftime, the first thing I would do was shout, 'Everybody come here, sit down, drink water and rest, don't talk, relax.'" Having the players sit around and let them relax will discourage the nervousness and even the fear of the players. ”

"Then I'll ask people positive, brisk questions, like, 'Right now, everybody's fine, no one wants to pee, right?'"

"Then I'm going to ask people very tactfully, 'Who thinks they should have played better?' if we had worked harder, we would have been better on the pitch?' and I know that when you hear this kind of question, most of the players will raise their hands, they know they are not doing well, but they can do better. During the whole process, I don't criticize any player by name, I don't put pressure on the players. ”

"Then it's a matter of breaking down the game and letting the players go through the game to achieve some small goals first. And I'll give them a boost, like I'll say, 'It's okay with the score, I want to see you improve every time.'" Don't think about the end result of the game, try to score a goal and run hard for your teammates and the whole team. 'Even though they are likely to lose, as a coach you shouldn't discourage them and put more pressure on them, because it doesn't do the players any good mentally, mentally or in terms of performance. During the game, the players always need positive encouragement from the coach. Over the years, I've seen a lot of coaches on the sidelines just shouting and yelling incessantly, even verbally abusive, which is completely out of line with the sportsmanship of football. ”

After listening to Heiko Fogel's description of the youth game coach, Zhang Sheng nodded and agreed, these coaching details are indeed the long-term coaching experience of many high-level youth coaches, which is also something that most of the domestic youth coaches cannot grasp.

After talking about this, Heiko Fogel lit up his coffee cup and signaled that he was going to add coffee, and Zhang Sheng also deliberately let him rest after talking for a long time, and asked: "Have all the things you just said formed a document?"

Heiko Fogel, who came back from pouring coffee, nodded and said: "Since the last time we were ready to write the plan, I have compiled some of my notes from my previous coaching and some of the youth training notes you gave me, and I am basically almost finished with the first draft of the document. ”

After saying that, Heiko Fogel did not stop, and continued: "I will talk about some plans and details of the usual training next, do you want to understand?"

Of course, Zhang Sheng would not let go of such an opportunity to communicate, and said, "You go on." ”

Heiko Fogel continues: "My next step is first and foremost planning. I feel that the coach should have a complete lesson plan. When I was a youth coach, I always had a three-year course. In the first year, the course sets basic training goals for the players to lay a good foundation for participating in the game, in the second year, the training objectives related to the game are added to allow the players to start participating in the game, and in the third year, the competition training is intensified to improve the competitiveness of the players. Every year, you have to have training goals, and eventually you will achieve bigger goals step by step. Throughout the process, the coach is able to clearly assess the changes and progress of the players. I am also prepared to ask all of our coaches to submit their own long-term training plans. ”

Zhang Sheng agrees with this opinion: "It should be so, coaches of each age group should have their own long-term plans. ”

After nodding his head in agreement, Heiko Fogel first explained his coaching style: "When I coached before, every training session had a clear theme. For example, in a training session for junior players, I will set a theme: basic dribbling skills, and my goal is to balance the ball with both feet, master the dribbling movements of three different parts, and control the distance between the ball and the feet when dribbling. Then in the whole lesson, I don't involve fancy dribbling skills, I don't involve skills and tactics, and I don't need to have high expectations for the teaching results of this lesson. Simplify your training and make it relevant to the topic!"

Heiko Fogel then talked about the disadvantages he saw during his trip to several schools: "And when I go out on this trip, I often see some coaches who do this during training: the coach does not state the training topic at the beginning of the training, so I don't know, the purpose of the training is not fixed, and these coaches do not care about the different practical requirements of players of different ages, and children aged 8-11 will practice together. When I warmed up, I was running around the field, and there was no football during the whole warm-up process. Specific to training, some are placed on rope ladders, logo plates, and plastic rings. It looked like it was supposed to be a speed-agility-cadence drill, but the coach didn't demonstrate the technical movements in detail, and the 14 players lined up in a long line to train one by one, some did static passing drills without teaching points, and some dribbled the ball around the logo disc without teaching points. In a full-court 7v7 training match, there are no game conditions set to reinforce the training objectives of the lesson. ”

Heiko Fogel then sighed: "As a player, when they finish training and come home, they are asked by their parents what they have been practicing today? Such training is unacceptable. It would have been simple to create a training plan and get everyone involved. But there are often many coaches who choose the simplest and fastest way to train, perfunctory, and then end hastily. Players may only come in once a week and they are looking forward to the session, and the coach should approach the session with the same attitude and maintain the same enthusiasm and commitment to each session from start to finish. ”

Zhang Sheng actually understands what Heiko Fogel said, and many youth coaches are not only a matter of ability, but also a matter of professional ethics.

Heiko Fogel then went on to talk about some of the official matches for teenagers: "Every coach wants his players to run all over the pitch in uniform jerseys, score goals, celebrate and enjoy football. However, in the real game, the stadium and goal are too large, and the number of teams is unreasonable, which will greatly reduce the effect of the game. For example, the invitational tournament of the 'Haha Cup' we just watched, there were many problems in their games. ”

Zhang Sheng hurriedly said, "Tell me." ”

Heiko Fogel was not polite either, explaining the problems one by one: "First of all, the venue, their playing field is too big. Normally, if the pitch is too big and the players are standing on a huge surface, they will feel at a loss, they will have no sense of position at all, and they will not be able to implement the skills and tactics. It doesn't make sense for the young players if the kids train and play on a five-a-side pitch and suddenly play on half or even the whole 11-a-side pitch. Because in training they may practice passing and dribbling the ball for about 5 meters, and suddenly when they come to the game, they need to dribble more than 20 meters or pass more than 10 meters...... This arrangement does not allow the players to really improve. The small field can enhance the frequency of players' movements with and without the ball, and quickly make 2-over-1 short passes, so as to improve the player's creativity, comprehensiveness, and control of the game. ”

"Then there's the goal, it's too big. Junior players play and the score doesn't matter. If you use a large goal, the goalkeeper will not be able to move quickly at all, covering the distance between the two posts, such an arrangement is meaningless, and in this case, the player tends to kick directly forward without focusing on precision, and the player will not improve in this kind of game. With a small goal, the goalkeeper can make an effective save. If the opponent is stronger, they will still win in the end, no matter what goal they use, but a 4-1 game is much better than a 10-2 game, and both teams can have a better mentality at the end of the game. ”

Hearing Haike Fogel's words, Zhang Sheng also thought of some youth invitational tournaments hosted by the organizers in reality, no matter what age group, are used to use the gate, so Chinese youth teams often lose by a large score, such as in an invitational tournament in 2016, Xinjiang U15 once lost to a Japanese club with a big score of 1:9, such a score can only make their team more ridiculed.

With so many ways to go on just one field and one goal, Zhang Sheng finally knows how important high-level youth training details are. (To be continued.) )
