"The young players, especially those of 7 to 12 years, should not be pressured by their coach to quickly pass the ball in order to allow a better team play and winning. They frequently should have the opportunity to improvise their play an
d take risks without fearing the possible consequences of having committed a mistake. Unfortunately this no longer exists because winning has become too important, even at the lowest levels! ...
Young players who "treat the ball as their best friend" and often do their own thing frequently are more creative than those who are coach-orientated and accept what the coach demands. To progress in their development of being more and more creative in the soccer game, children should exhibit a certain degree of independence from their coaches.
This is why young players should practice and play as often as possible without the presence of a coach, whose absence allows them to feel more comfortable to explore their innate potential without the fear of criticism when making mistakes
Learning in soccer must be extended, more frequently offering the possibility to think and to learn incidentally and in divergent ways. The coach does not have to impose everything. The coach-player relationship is not a doctor-patient relationship with set prescriptions.

On most soccer fields, the young players are
dominated by instructors who allow relatively little freedom of movement
and decision-making to the young players, whose opinions are never
taken into account. For the coach it is important to always have
everything under control. When a player departs from the norm, he/she
often is chastised and told to respect the coach's diretions. Often
instructions are given to the players about what to do and how to solve
the problems or where to position oneself best on the field. If during a
competition the coach does not direct the players, many parents may
think the coach is not motivated not is qualified for the work.
In soccer training, as well in school, too much instructions from outside does not favor the personal initiative of the players. Many coaches think for their players instead of stimulating them to thing for themselves."
