Today on the podcast we are joined by UEFA Pro licensed coach, Roma u17 Head Coach Fabrizio Piccareta. On this episode Fabrizio and I speak a great deal on conceptual observations including how the game of football has developed over the years, the power of forming relationship with players while having empathy, and the increase in knowledge a player is expected to learn. Being a part of an ever-evolving sport includes adapting to new perspectives on ways to improves the game. Fabrizio reveals to us what he has noticed as a major change in the game, that being that positions are no longer important and has since been replaced with fluidity meaning players are now aware of every player on the field while simultaneously keeping focus of their current position. With the added responsibly of the player comes additional responsibility for coaches/managers as well. Creating emotional connections with an added dose of empathy is just one of many principles modern coaches are using in order build a successful team. We have only scratched barely the surface of the insight Fabrizio shares with us so stick around to learn more!
