Large international competition are a great opportunity for youth players to learn through watching. While nothing beats a live game, seeing the highest level of football on TV will also generate a love and passion for the sport, and an opportunity to find a player that becomes the role model for many years.
Watch as a fan – enjoy the atmosphere, the drama, the entertainment of international football.
Watch to learn – what roles do players take on, how this differs by team. Are there clearly identifiable principles in how a team plays? Watch the individual player, how they scan the field for information before receiving the ball and continuing once the action on the ball is over. The technical actions in being comfortable on the ball and the variety of ways they strike the ball.
