Neuroscience applied to soccer. Practical proposal: 100 drills for training (Color edition) - Manuel J. Crespo García - Bog

To say that soccer is played with your feet, it's like thinking that chess is played with your hands. The player must be in optimal condition to compete and to perform at their best level during matches.To achieve the perfection of the game models, the coaches tend to crumble the game with principles, subprinciples, more subprinciples... that allow us to explain how our team plays, and this often causes our workouts to be lost in improving isolated technical factors, that we think are the ones that make players err.Applying the benefits of neuroscience, the indicators and stimuli that we use in the training tasks will be the own of soccer, so that there is a greater transfer. There is a very strong educational trend entrenched in these concepts and every day is reflected in the teaching of sports. But, this trend, if not interpreted well, can lead to errors and not achieve the intended results. The goal is that the training of our brain is related to soccer, and that the skills or advances that are achieved, have a direct impact on during the game.Reacting by pressing when the coach's whistle blows, seeing the red color on a paper or when the number of a mathematical operation is even, from the perspective of how he learns our brains, will not get the same benefits for the soccerer as pressing after losing the ball, after bad control of the opponent or after the opponent's arrival in a danger zone.
