Ross Whitehead🔥 • 4dI went for yes in both training and games. It’s not all the time with all the players, but sometimes one or two start to feel sorry for themselves if they make mistakes, so we have to give them a pep talk to get them back on track.2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • 4dI’ve always had players that need a bit more motivation on a match day, not as in they don’t want to be there but that they are likely to hide for periods or not get into the game quickly enough. I could generally tell in the warm up if the team were “up for it” or not.2Reply

Ian Mountain • 4dI put no, think that motivation can only work if intrinsic? Do try to ask players to do that for themselves and then we can coach decision making and the game instead 😊3Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • 3d@Ian Mountain I agree!If they need motivation, then they’ve fallen out of love with he game, surely? Which means something far deeper than an motivational issue.3Reply

Mark Wiltens • 3dI voted yes, for matches but a few years back I would say no completely. But I am not sure about it still. I still think players do not need to be motivated to come in, but may be sometimes to get everything out of theirselves. Yesterday I had a little example which is in line with this subject which got me wondering.As a U15 coach I have the team-talk about what we trained 45 minutes before kick-off and 5 minutes before kick-off a little summary + motivation.Today we played our 6th league game … See more5Reply

Brian Willis • 3d@Mark Wiltens well said Mark and I 100% think we focus too much on tactics at the youth level. Every time my team talk at halftime has made a difference, it has never been about tactics.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • 2d@Mark Wiltens superb Mark, I think that you need to motivate players and find out what makes them tick. Sounds like you did that before your game.I’ve has professional players come to training in a foul mood and with low energy. It might be an issue with their contract, they might miss family, might be going through a breakup, etc. You just don’t know.Tactics won’t help them so I totally agree we focus on the wrong things sometimes.3Reply
