In my years of coaching this beautiful sport called futbol (soccer), I’ve had the great responsibility of coaching, but also the opportunity to learn so much from all the players and coaches with whom I’ve had the privilege to work. It’s a truly gratifying feeling as a coach to be able to contribute to the development of a soccer player. As a coach of youth players, you realize that you are part of a process in their growth as a player. The important thing is not only to develop good soccer players but, more importantly, to shape excellent human beings. This involves helping them build confidence, fostering self-belief, and providing them with tools that can aid their development both in soccer and in life beyond the sport.
