It is very often said about some players that they have great potential to play at the highest level and achieve the greatest success.
But then after some time it turns out that these players achieve absolutely nothing or much less than everyone expected.
Why do you think this is happening?
Well, because the potential and talent alone do not mean anything if the player or the whole team does not meet many additional conditions that will allow you to regularly show their full skills.
If you are a talented player and don't want to waste your potential, learn the key factors and then put them into practice!
1 ) DILIGENCE!
Many talented players make the mistake of getting started right from the start because they think that if they have great talent and potential, they don't have to work as hard as others to turn that potential into high-level skills!
Well, Potential is a skill level that can be achieved with an enormous amount of hard and smart daily work, and there is no other way to become a professional footballer!
Remember that talent without hard work is worthless!
2) MENTALITY AND THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!
Another key to transforming from a high-potential player into a successful player is to create the right mentality!
This mentality consists of many elements, but the key ones are:
- Confidence
- Steadfastness
- Ability to deal with pressure
- Focus on completing the tasks to be done to get you to your goal!
3) PHYSICAL AND SPEED PREPARATION OF THE BODY!
You can have very great football skills, but if your body is not prepared to play at high intensity game , you will not be able to show it in a match, your potential will be of no use!
Remember to work hard on this element and also take into account additional aspects that affect it, such as regeneration of the body and nutrition
4) ADJUSTING THE GAME TACTICS AND POSITION ON THE COURT TO THE PLAYER'S PREDISPOSITION.
One of the basic aspects that allows you to extract the potential of a player to present the greatest value for the team is the appropriate selection of tactics and position on the pitch, taking into account both strengths and weaknesses.
This is the role of the trainer, but it is worthwhile for the player to try to improve his tactical knowledge at every step.
5) CONTINUOUS ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT OF YOUR BIGGEST STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Perhaps the most important point that influences the transformation of potential into real football successes is the constant analysis of your strengths and weaknesses and then perfecting them regularly!
Many players do not try to perfect things that are not their strengths because it takes effort and leaving their comfort zone and they doom themselves to mediocrity.
The same is true when it comes to strengths.
When a player reaches a high level in a given aspect of a skill, he stops perfecting it and, unfortunately, does not progress.
Remember that you have to work constantly on these aspects!
This article was inspired by yesterday's EURO2O2O match between Poland and Slovakia.
Poland is a team that includes the best player in the world at the moment, Robert Lewandowski, Zieliński, one of the best midfielders in Italy, or the Juve Szczęsny goalkeeper, and many other good players.
The potential of this team is enormous, but many factors contributed to the fact that it was not used and Slovakia won 2: 1.
There was no use of the greatest asset, which is Lewandowski, because yesterday this striker did not give even one accurate shot throughout the match.
The tactic chosen by the coach seemed to be missed because it did not in any way bring out the greatest skills of the players.
The physical preparation of one of the team leaders, Grzegorz Krychowiak, was absolutely dramatic, which meant that this player lost most of the speed duels and had to foul, and then around 60 minutes of the match he got a red card and weakened the team.
The Polish team was also unable to draw conclusions from previous matches because they lost goals after free kicks and corners, the same was true in the match against Slovakia!
