This is something every youth soccer coach should be aware to ensure his success. Soccer is a team sport and the only way to really make it work is to cultivate a sense of team spirit among the players. Sometimes the most talented players are used to worry only about themselves and that can harm the harmony of the group and also the success of the team. No surprise that despite the talent, such teams seldom succeed. Team spirit begins to grow when all players understand that they are just a part of the big puzzle - the team. This means that every player contributes with an equal share to the good performance of the team. While praising just a few players often alienates everyone else, praising the team as a whole can work wonders in terms of cultivating team spirit. This is why it's important for the team to take the blame as a group. This day it was player A to make the mistake, but tomorrow it will be Player B. Kindling team spirit also means getting everyone involved- among young players, some might feel shy or out of place. You can do this by developing activities and drills that promote the team spirit and bring everybody together and make your players feel as part of the team. No one can do everything by himself so it's important that your players understand that. Make sure you are aware of some people that may have the intention to break your team's spirit by making other people's minds against each other. Deal with this cases openly and make sure you let them know that you're alert and that you'll not allow it. It's important that you let the kids know that if they have any kind of problems or concerns, they can come to you for advice. Communication goes a long way in building a sense of team spirit. You can also create something special to help motivate and cultivate team spirit, like a dance or a war-game motivational song! If you see your players off the field wearing their team badge or shirt, you can be sure they have plenty of team spirit and are proud of it. When coaching youth soccer drills these are important element you should consider. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Andre Botelho is a recognized authority in the subject of youth soccer coaching.
