Look for players with good body movements and ballcontrol, pace and explosivity rather than physique at a young age. Look for players with mental skills such as winning mentality, stability and players with personality who stand up to take responsibility on and off the pitch. o National courses for all coaches to learn how to spot and nurture talents. o Its all about making new mistakes so you can learn from them. o Forget about the results and don’t become scared to avoid mistakes. o Study national games from youth level to senior level and analyze these in terms of playing style and play patterns. o You more easily learn before the age of 16-17 and 4-3-3 is the formation for all teams to play. o Give young players the chance to play and make mistakes, but work with them to continue and give them trust and support. o 1vs1 offensively and defensively is given major emphasis
