Coming Soon - Training Tips For Soccer Mastery

SInce we see soccer as our number one ally in bringing street children and poor children into a community, we need a way for each child to learn soccer. With skill in soccer, these youth will be able to belong and will have something to offer. In order for youth at all skills levels and all ages to begin to play and to learn to play well, we are developing the Soccer Masters program.

Soccer, the Beautiful Game is the most popular sport in the world. As we speak, 200 million people are playing games of soccer. Soccer is played in great stadiums with over a hundred thousand spectators and in small canchas in the mountains of developing countries and in the streets of shanty towns. The game is loved and honored by all who play it and all who love to watch it.

But Soccer Masters such as Pele, Maradona, Beckham, Henry, Larrson, Raul, Ronaldhino, Roberto Carlos, Renaldo, Figo, and so many more are hard to find. That is because mastery of a fluid sport like soccer requires the integration of body, mind and spirit. These great masters above were natural athletes, whose soccer skills came naturally.

LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Mastery is a new discipline of soccer. It is a brand new way to learn the Beautiful game. With the help of some of these great soccer players, we are attempting to define ways that anyone in the world can master the beautiful game at the level he or she desires. Some may want to be the most valuable player in the World Cup. Others just may want to play soccer in an amateur league or youth league with friends. LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Mastery is designed for everyone.

To master LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Mastery you will need to be in a LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Academy. Anyone can master many of the physical skills of soccer. But how many great players falter in the World Cup because their Spirit is not up to it or their mind wanders at the moment the winning ball comes to their feet. Physical mastery is not enough.

That is because becoming a Soccer Master means mastery of Body + Mind + Spirit. It means developing the character traits of being a winner. It means being a leader on your team and in your community. It means developing community, structure, meaning and a Superordinate goal.

It means learning to run down the field with an opposing player holding onto your camiseta. It means continuing to play the ball when you have been tripped or knocked to the ground unfairly.

In order to develop this kind of soccer mastery, you need leaders and mentors. You can only find these leaders and mentors in a LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Academy. They have been trained in working with soccer players to build their physical skills, to develop mental agility and strength, and to build the needed character skills to "play on’ no matter what happens. The true Soccer Master ignores unfair calls, ignores jeers and catcalls, bad language, racial slurs, from opponents and fans. He or she does not get angry when teammates make mistakes, and follows the coaches game plan.

The true Soccer Master is in complete control of his body, mind and spirit. through a process of Mind Plaining When confronted with losses, he or she never gets discouraged but called up past successes through the Mental Reversal Technique. This is learned behavior that is learned when the behavior is modeled by others. And that is what you get in LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Mastery program in our academies. You can get this nowhere else.

At each level, you will learn the basic physical, mental and spiritual moves of that level. Every one in the LigaAmericás Fútbol World Soccer Mastery program must pass through every level to advance. There will be testing every month. We want our soccer masters to learn to perform every skill perfectly. These basic skills are often thought to be unimportant.

Thus the purposes of LigaAmericás Fútbol World (LAFW) Soccer Mastery:

1. To teach the concepts of peak performance at every practice, every touch on the balls, every games, every workout. That means recording performance each time - that has to be built in. In track and field, world class athletes focus on bettering their "personal best" that is how they measure their achievement. To do this requires the creation of a Personal Triumph File and the development of the inner athlete.

2. To create Soccer Masters - those who have total engagement of body, mind and spirit perfection, Thus a person at the skill level of development where he or she has achieved mastery of the skill so he performs them effortlessly. smoothly and fluidity with complete confidence.

3. To develop a Weshemisphere soccer that every person who desires to play can learn well enough to enjoy playing the beautiful game

5. To enable those who want to play the game professionally to master all the skills, all aspect of playing on a team and to develop the self esteem and synergistic productivity skills to succeed at the highest level of play

6. To gain the character skills of persistence, loyalty, honor, dedication to the game, strength of character, overcoming adversity and fighting to win in spite of obstacles, pain or personal problems

7) To develop a winning spirit, to want to always give peak performance and to transfer these characteristics to daily life 8) To build LigaAmericás Fútbol World into a true community with centers worldwide where all Soccer Masters can immediately feel at home and know how to belong and experience the flow experience of the beautiful game

9) To provide a step by step method of learning soccer that can enable any person to play the game at whatever level they desire

10) To provide all Soccer Masters with leadership training so they become productive members of a cross cultural, high diversity soccer world

11) To remove any vestige of Mind Clonishness from the beautiful game of soccer

12) To work to bring about world peace through multi-country games, camps, tournaments, friendlies, competitions, training and positive soccer interactions

This achievement of Soccer Mastery will be facilitated by continuous practice until the mastery of skill sat a specific level is achieved. The budding Soccer Master will be evaluated through testing when is skill is mastered first in the practice session environment.

Setting Up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center

Soccer For Life is planning to set up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center for our teams we will be developing. Because of the fact that many of our Youth-At-Risk have not yet learned the social manners of those in mainstream youth leagues and soccer clubside, we feel that these youths should play among themselves until they gain better social skills.

We will be teaching soccer skills, social skills and character skills such as teamwork, dealing with anger and self control.
