KEYS TO PERFORM 1. HOLISTIC APPROACH The approach should include all aspects involved in this sport: Technique, Physical, Mental and nutritional fundaments should be developed allowing the player to excel. 2. CORRECT ANALYSES Correct Analyses plays a key role allowing the team to setup a great holistic plan. It s crucial to find out the technical, physical, mental limitations in order to correct them. 3. GOOD PLANNING It s important to have a fair and achievable plan. Time is limited and we need to make sure we prioritize and scale the training and competitions in harmony with the education programme. 4. QUALITY PRACTISE Practise is the most important of all factors. All the junior players, especially at earlier stages need to understand that they spend a great part of their time on un-supervised training. It is on their interest to learn what is an efficient training. 5. COMPETE Competition should be the fun part of the game. Here is where the player should be able to perform. Every player should be happy to compete and should face this as an opportunity!!! QUINTA DO LAGO 08
