Football is one of the most popular sports today. People of all ages from different parts of the world are deeply interested in this sport. Many kids and teens, in particular, are so fascinated with this sport that they work really hard to be able to join a team or club in their school or neighborhood and be a player.
Joining a football tryout for the first time can really be daunting for many kids. And because their nerves can get the best of them, they can miss out on the big chance to shine and ace the tryout.
To help children increase their chance of being successful when trying out for a school or local football team for the first time, below are some useful tips parents can impart to their kids:
Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep. The night before the tryout, make sure your kid gets at least 8 hours of sleep. This is to ensure that your child is well-rested and prepared for the tryout. This will also make sure that he or she will feel less stressed and ready for all the activities for the next day.
Encourage your child to always smile and stay confident. Coaches are naturally drawn to kids with a positive and confident attitude. Advice your child to avoid swearing as well, no matter how frustrated they feel since coaches can easily remember players with negative attitudes. All communication should be positive. Encourage him or her to smile as often as possible. In general, a positive attitude in kids is important and will keep a coach’s attention at tryouts.
Instill the value of hard work. Even if a child isn’t the best player during a tryout, coaches are easily impressed with kids who work hard. Young ones who make mistakes on the field but never complain and make excuses will always catch the attention of coaches. This positive quality often signifies that children won’t be headaches during trainings and that they will really work hard to be good in this game. As such, make sure you instill this value in your kids.
Lastly, during tryout, encourage your child to not be easily affected by any mistakes they make. Tell them to let this go immediately and that they should go on with the next play. This will have a more positive effect on their game and at the same time, help the coach forget the error.
