The Art of VAR - Other Teams Thread[R]

Athletes that work on themselves but hit a wall. Imagine training as hard as you can, harder than anybody you know but you don't see results, or are hitting a wall. Most of the time, athletes like that try out different coaches and methods, but what i do is work with them by analysing their data with short interviews after every training session, and i create an overview of what factors play along (bad training session whenever factor X is present).

What we then do is try to work against making factor X something that has an impact on performance. A lot of times athletes even know that there is something that is bugging them, and know what it is, but in that case i shift focus towards that problem and we work into solving that. Imagine an athlete having a drop in performance whenever there's a big turnout to events. Why does that happen? Is it connected to an experience in the past?

You also have athletes with unhealthy habits like overtraining and agression, so you try to find what they are running away from (usually people that overtrain dread the loss of what the results they recently achieved), or what makes them aggressive.

I love that aspect. I worked at a youth camp and spent time with the players and to me there's no going back to technical coaching any more.

 

Why hasn’t Oscar been playing for Leganes the past few matches?

 

Thanks for the clarification

 

Barca really put together the most expensive squad in European basketball history to not winning anything at all.

 

He's totally overachieving. Way more effort than talent. He's not a bad guy, but i don't find him amusing. But overall, whenever somebody claims he's done, internally i'm laughing because this guy has survived and outplayed almost every single guy he competed with.
