Imagine that your team suddenly wins every game. Impossible? Wrong The key isn't in expensive transfers or tactical tricks. It is training participation. In this blog post, we will examine in more detail the influence of high training participation on a soccer team's chances of success in league operations and why it is so important that all players participate in training regularly.
Do you know that? Players who only show up for games but are invisible during training. Teams with high training participation have fewer “phantoms.” Specific and situational requirements for soccer actions can thus be adequately trained in a manner close to the game. Outcome? Better team chemistry, fewer injuries.
Example: FC Schalke 04, 2020/21 relegation season. Insiders report disastrous training morale. Coincidence? Hardly.
Sweating together creates a bond. Sounds like a cliché? But it is scientifically proven. A study by Dr. Kristin Seiler shows: Players who regularly train together have improved non-verbal communication on the pitch.
Example: Atalanta Bergamo. In the Champions League for years despite a small budget. Your secret? Tough training discipline.
Tactics are not learned in the cabin, but baked into the square. A study by the University of Konstanz found that when players understand their roles and know how to interact with their fellow players, they can adapt better to the dynamics of the game, which leads to better performance on the playing field.
Example: Jürgen Klopp's counterpressing. Only works with extreme training discipline. It's no wonder that he quickly sorts out training grouches.
Fitness is more than lactate levels and sprint times. It's about mental resilience. Players who train frequently are better prepared for the emotional and psychological demands of a game. They learn how to deal with pressure and maintain their willingness to make efforts even in difficult situations.
Example: Leicester City, 2015/16 championship season. Hardly any injuries, mental strength right up to the end. Coincidence? No, iron training discipline.
increase training participation, Increase chances of success.
Do you think starting eleven places are only awarded in-game? Wrong. A survey of 80 coaches in amateur soccer revealed: 78% of decisions are made based on training performance.
Example: Thomas Müller. Not the fastest, not the most tech-savvy. But always first and last on the training ground. Outcome? Indispensable
Innovation does not arise in tactical meetings, but in training. A study by the Cologne Sports University shows that the teams that entered the knock-out rounds at the 2010 soccer World Cup had on average more creative features in their penultimate passes than the teams that were eliminated in the preliminary round. This suggests that creative moves rehearsed during training are decisive for success.
Example: Pep Guardiola's position game. Created through hours of meticulous training. Unthinkable without full participation.
