🇦🇷🗣️ Lionel Scaloni: "We are losing the essence of football. Not only at a professional level, but also with kids."

"My children play in Spain and are overwhelmed with information. They receive the ball, and they're already being told what to do."

"There are fewer dribblers because if they barely get the ball and you say, 'Pass it!'... Imagine if Messi, when he was eight years old, had been constantly told by his coaches to "Pass it!" We wouldn't have him today."

"Football has become such a huge thing, everyone reads, studies, and thinks that with that, they can already manage."

"If you tell a 7 or 8-year-old to make a diagonal run, cover defensively... He's seven years old! Let him play with the ball, make mistakes, and when he's 14 or 15, then we can start correcting."

"It's a message for the future. This is a sport, and the beauty of football should not be lost." (@marca @AlbicelesteTalk)

COST ASSOCIATED WITH LEADERSHIP

"Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about...

Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most...

Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself."

Coaching is such an amazing profession.

It’s SO MUCH more than X’s and O’s…

We get the opportunity to connect and help guide each amazing person to grow not only as players - but as people..

There’s so much more to it than trying to win games…

Absolutely love it.

[Colton Bryant @coachcolton]

Society is so weird…

You’ve got the people that want to see @DeionSanders do well & really help that program and those young men

You’ve got the people that want nothing more than for him to fail

You’ve got the people that just want to slag Oregon’s coach for trying to motivate his team

We live in the weirdest world - too many people feed off negativity or the downfall of someone else

You can be a fan or supporter of your team WITHOUT tearing another team down

You can be proud of yourself and your accomplishments WITHOUT the need to compare or tear someone else down too

WE NEED TO BE BETTER AT BEING POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE WITHOUT THE NEED TO DRAG OTHERS DOWN IN THE PROCESS

[Craig Doty @CoachDoty]

Perhaps the worst way to manage modern athletes is treating the best players like royalty and the less-developed athletes like trash.

Top players should be held to the highest level of accountability. Being a star player should be more difficult than being any other level of athlete.

If coaches hold their best players to a high standard then the rest of the team will follow thus creating a culture of excellence.
