Talented Player Selection Guide

(1) Problems that may occur

While talented players have outstanding skills, it is also crucial to develop those skills to the extreme. No one is perfect, and their weaknesses are often present and often difficult to detect (e.g., factors that regress performance: inner frustration, personality defects, tiredness of persistent effort, rapid loss of motivation or gaps in player training and education, etc.). These factors can also seriously hinder the progress of the player, and even make it impossible for her to overcome the obstacles she will inevitably face in the high-level competition.

These are the more prominent facts in the process of material selection. Especially in the process of growing up, the medium- and long-term development of some players is often unsatisfactory.

(2) High-quality material selection

Not limited to observing a player during a match or looking through a list of talent assessment requirements, the selection specialist must be able to observe the player's performance on a variety of occasions to judge her behavior on the pitch, on the training ground, in the game, with players and coaches, and even with family and friends outside of football life. We then confirm that the player has motor neurological, mental and physical skills.

Although it is widely believed that the optimal period for training and development projects is 8-10 years, it is in fact difficult to use data to indicate how many years it will take to achieve a high level of success. Young players don't progress at the same rate, and they can't build top players with the same training loads, development requirements, and preparation plans. There are many other obstacles to talent development.

A sound selection system should do more than just observing talented players and then arranging them to train at the academy. We should continue to research and provide appropriate training and development structures and high-quality social and educational environments to ensure the subsequent development of players and help them achieve maximum potential.

Material selection observation points

Selection criteria do not necessarily equal the direction of a player's development. To observe the different ability curves of players, select players who are likely to succeed so that the curve contains the largest area.

(1) Observation points for the selection of female footballers in the enlightenment stage (U5) and the basic stage (U6-U12):

Passion and dedication to football that is different ("flying all over the field"). The ability to control the ball improves quickly. Courage and focus;

For U12 players, inspiration is more important than judgment, and more attention should be paid to the individual ability to change the course of the game, and attention should be paid to depicting the image of the player's shortcomings after improvement, and measuring the player's ability from multiple angles;

(2) Observation points for the selection of female footballers above U13:

Design and tracking of capability curves. Different stages of an individual's learning ability, creativity, judgment, anticipation ability and comprehensive ability;

For U14 players, higher situation judgment is required. While paying attention to the characteristics of players and the future direction, we must also pay attention to the basic skills of players. In addition, speed (judging speed, movement speed, running speed), comprehension ability (tactical thinking, ability to adapt to multiple positions, etc.) and never give up fighting spirit should also be valued;

For U16 players, comprehensive ability is about to become a necessary ability to win. While not ignoring the characteristics and development direction of players, we should focus on observing the advantages and disadvantages of basic abilities. Being very good at a certain position and having unique skills that can influence the game are also very important abilities.
