Motivation and team cohesion. Motivation and team cohesion are certainly more important in football than in any other sport. It goes without saying that your players must be motivated. They must want to become the strongest and quickest possible. They must want to learn so that they can perform in the game.
Motivation is an essential to perform at a higher level in any sport.
And no team game requires the type of collective motivation that football does. It is certainly a game of the heart. This, too, is an essential of winning. But even with execution and emotion, with the inspiration of the team and perspiration of the hard practices, the team may not be sufficiently prepared to win. The next level of coaching.
