A Need to Develop Players for the Future (here i go again )!!

The players and teams of the future will need to be capable of having technical excellence, that is from the goalkeeper throughout the whole team. Goalkeepers especially need to be excellent passers, they need to have world class control as well as being good with their hands. Are coaches doing enough to develop them as footballers?






The importance of the modern game is that players are capable in attack and defence and thus have the necessary technical and tactical skills to be effective. Are we developing our players to be capable of playing in the modern game? 






Are our coaches willing to allow our players and teams to experiment and be creative, or, is it safer to keep fixed formations and achieve "results", instead of developing smart, intelligent players capable of playing in numerous positions and systems.


Now as youth coaches we need to understand that in order to get to this level players need to make mistakes, need to try to things and develop. Too many coaches however are unwilling to allow mistakes and thus kill the creativity of their players. They take away their imagination and create robots which results not in fluid footballers but in the English fixed style which has been the cause of our lack of success.
