  • Hearts FC Street Games
    HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN FC Small Sided Street Games EAST LOTHIAN COACHES IN-SERVICE AUBIGNY CENTRE, HADDINGTON MONDAY 3 OCTOBER 2016 /heartscoaching @heartscoaching Introduction These small sided street games have been brought together as a resource for coaches and volunteers working with young players. Through initiatives such as Positive Coaching Scotland, we have seen a marked improvement in the quality of playing and training environments in recent years. The coaches and parents of the past who shout and yell from the side of the pitch while their kids are just trying to do their best are an increasing minority. Many local clubs have also embraced a ‘let them play’ philosophy so that young players can benefit more from a positive match experience every weekend. Well done to them. Our next task, however, is to make every Saturday or Sunday morning even better by helping the ‘Joystick Coach’ or ‘Joystick Parent’. These are the folks who constantly provide instruction, a bit like a remote control, before every pass, dribble, shot or tackle. This results in the players solving less problems, making fewer decisions, improvising less and having a reduced capacity to express themselves. Many of these adults are actually really good people, have the kid’s interests at heart and are very well intentioned. “Kids learn to make good decisions by making decisions…………not by following directions” If we want to develop more players who have the ability to be really good decision makers, we need to back off a bit, give the kids more ownership and perhaps try some of the following; • Allow mistakes to be made and see if players can learn from them without feedback.

Pour la cause de l’ARSEQ, certains termes ont été retiré pour épurer le lexique. Pour plus de terme vous pouvez vous référer à la page originale. 1- À la culotte (marquage) Désigne un marquage très rapproché. 2- Action Ensemble de combinaisons menant à une situation devant le but. (voir combinaison et situation) 3- Aile de pigeon Terme désignant un type de prise de ballon. Le joueur contrôle, dévie ou frappe le ballon avec l'extérieur du pied ou avec le talon tandis que la jambe est pliée et alors que le ballon est en l'air, derrière ou à côté du joueur. L'origine de ce terme est la forme de la jambe repliée en arrière qui, grâce à un peu d'imagination, ressemble à l'aile d'un pigeon et le mouvement qui évoque le battement de l'aile. 4- Ailier Joueur offensif qui évolue sur un côté du terrain (l'aile) et dont le rôle est généralement de déborder et de centrer le ballon. On parle d'ailier droit ou d'ailier gauche. Historiquement joueur de la ligne avant, il est en relative disparition dans les 4-4-2 où certains joueurs apparaissent comme jouant dans le « couloir » latéral et remplissent aussi cette fonction. 5- Amorti Contrôle du ballon, le plus souvent avec la poitrine, pour freiner sa course, dans le but de le manipuler avec les pieds pour une course balle au pied ou pour une passe. 6- Anti-jeu Conduite antisportive.

  • La Metáfora En El Léxico Futbolístico: El Caso De La Actividad Deportiva En Español, Y Algunas Propuestas De Traducción Al Italiano
    La metáfora en el léxico futbolístico: el caso de la actividad deportiva en español, y algunas propuestas de traducción al italiano José Francisco Medina Montero Universidad de Trieste 1. Introducción Como es bien sabido, para analizar con profundidad el lenguaje del deporte en general, y el del fútbol en particular, hay que efectuar muchos estudios parciales, porque para emprender una tarea tan ingente lo primero que se debe hacer es elegir un deporte determinado, después decidirse por uno de los canales por los que normalmente se transmite (el escrito, el oral, el audiovisual…), y por último escoger un aspecto concreto en el que centrarse1 (normalmente el léxico es el que ofrece una mayor riqueza, aun- que no pasa desapercibido el hecho de que en esta clase de lenguaje cada vez hacen acto de presencia más usos morfológicos y sintácticos que violan la norma del español culto). Nosotros, en este estudio, que es la continuación de “La metáfora en el léxico futbolístico: el caso de los participantes en español, y sus posibles equivalentes en italiano”2, nos hemos marcado como objetivo seguir analizando las metáforas presentes en el lenguaje del fútbol3 (recordemos 1 A esto se añade la dificultad que supone la enorme cantidad de material a la que hoy día se tiene acceso, porque al ser el fútbol uno de los deportes más populares de todo el mundo, existen muchos profesionales que se dedican a él tanto desde el punto de vista de la escritura, como de la oralidad. 2 MEDINA MONTERO, J.

This scenario hinders not only the scientific studies on some unique SSTs but also the development of novel coaching methods for learning these SSTs. The current paper aims to bridge the gap by establishing a SST terminology system. The system is built based on goal repeatability, selected anatomical & biomechanical parameters, and analyses of 579 attractive goals from international professional tournaments. The results have revealed that there are 43 SSTs existed in current soccer practice. Some SSTs can be identified by preliminary parameters (i.e. anatomical parameters, the ball vertical position at the shot and the hit-point on the ball), but most of them need additional biomechanical examination on the movement control in frontal & transverse planes, jumping control, and trunk orientation at shots in order to identify uniquely.
