NUTRITION & HYDRATION
Being serious about competing and winning, involves looking after your diet. If you want plenty of energy during training and to feel strong
until the end of matches, then one of the important things to do is: eat the right foods the day before the match.
Fuel Tank
Like a car, which needs fuel (petrol, diesel or gas) and has a fuel tank, which needs to be filled, our body is the same. When a car runs outof fuel it stops. When our muscles run out of fuel they feel very heavy, rather like lead weights and we feel it is very difficult to run.
Carbs are Our Fuel
Our main fuel is Carbohydrate. This is stored inside our muscles. You can fill a car fuel tank in a couple of minutes. To fill our muscle fueltank, takes about 24 hours. This is because we first have to eat the food which contains carbohydrate, then it has to be broken down (ordigested) in the stomach. Next, it has to absorbed into the blood (through the small intestines), then it is transported to the muscles in theblood. Once there it fills the muscle fuel tanks. We can only do this slowly, which is why it can take 24 hours to fill the bodys tank.
Regular Eating
If you want to start a match or comp with a full carbohydrate fuel tank, then regular eating of carbohydrate foods every 2 or 3 hours the daybefore is the way to do it.
Breakfast: Fruit juice. Toast, tea cake, crumpets or muffins and jam. Drink.Snack: Banana. Drink.Lunch: Soup and Sandwich, yoghurt, apple. Drink.Evening Meal: Rice or potatoes or pasta, chicken in sauce, 2 vegetables. Drink.Supper: Bowl of Cereal with chopped bananas and apricots or dried fruit mix.
Snacks and Packed Lunch Ideas
Sandwiches or bread rolls with fillings:Tuna, lean beef, lean ham, chicken, eggs, marmite, vegemite, cottage cheese, banana and jam sandwich.Dressings: chutney, sweet pickle, piccalilli, beetroot, salsa sauce, fat free thousand island, ketchup, brown sauce.Any salad or raw vegetables in a little tub. Beans or spaghetti on toast. Pizza slices. Crumpets and jam. Potato cakes and vegemite. Pasta
or rice salad in a little tub. Fruit or chopped fresh fruit in a tub. Fruit in syrup. Raisins. Sultanas. Dried fruit mix. Malt loaf. Currant bread.Currant buns. Scones. Banana loaf. Bagels. J affa cakes. Fig biscuits, Garibaldi biscuits. Muesli bars. Yoghurt. Rice pudding pot. J ellypot.Custard pot.Drinks: Fruit juice, milk or flavoured milk, cordial, water.
Hot meal Suggestions
Soup, lean chicken or beef casseroles or stew, all with bread. Spaghetti bolognese. Chicken in barbeque sauce. Chicken curry. Tuna pastacasserole. Fish fingers, mash peas and beans. Fish and potato pie. Shepherds pie. Gammon steaks. Fish in sauce. Sweet and sourchicken. Chicken and vegetable risotto. Pork steaks in honey and chilli sauce. Chicken in black bean sauce.Deserts: Banana and custard. Fruit crumble, fruit pancakes, sponge puddings. Yoghurt. Ice cream, sorbet, rice pudding, custard, jelly.
Pre-Event Meal
This meal should be easily digested foods, which you know do not lie heavy on your stomach and help to keep the blood levels of
carbohydrate high. E.g. Soup, bread, potatoes, low fat pasta meals (not creamy or cheesy), baked beans, spaghetti on toast, vegetables,salad, lean meat, skinless chicken, grilled fish, fruit and yoghurt, rice pudding, breakfast cereals, toast & jam. Eating the meal 3 hoursbefore performing seems most acceptable.
BodyfatIf you want to reduce your bodyfat then you must still eat a high carbohydrate diet to provide the energy for exercise but reduce your intakeof foods which contain fat and oil. These include cheese, pastry, sausage, burgers, peanuts, crisps, butter, margarine, certain chocolate andcertain biscuits.
Nutrient Amount to Eat Foods
Carbohydrates High bread, rice, boiled, baked or mashed potatoes, pasta, noodles, breakfast cereals, oven chips,baked beans, deep pan pizza, cous cous, noodles. potato cakes, crumpets, iced fingers,
Protein Normal lean meat, chicken, turkey, gammon, fish, beans, eggs, milk, nuts
Fat Normal to Low fried foods, mayonnaise, cheese, sausages, burgers, pastry, crisps, butter, margarine.
Vitamins and minerals High fruit, vegetables, saladsWater High water, fruit juice, cordials, low fat flavoured milk, fruit, vegetables.

MENTAL
Developing a winning mentality requires strong character and a positive attitude.
Through the implementation ofSELF TALK, GOAL SETTING and FOCUS - REFOCUS this will be addressed in the dressing room, on thepitch and be constantly evident throughout the courses.
Self Talk
On and off the field, encourage players to talk positively to themselves to overcome challenges. Encourage self belief and a can do culturethat will help create the positive learning environment
Fill their heads with positive suggestions
I can do this,
I will do this
Im going to get better Im enjoying this
This is going to make me better
Focus refocus
Encourage players to focus on a task through to a conclusi on and success.
You can assist with this by making all your practices:
challenging
age specific
engaging so that they are pre occupied with task at hand rather than anything else.
You may also need to change practices regularly, especially with younger players to keep them at this state of focus; each newchallenge requires new focus.
Techniques to use
Set specific targets/ goals. Shooting practice.Looking to achieve 60% success rate but with 100% accuracy levels or get yourown players to set their own targets, particularly as you develop your relationship with them.
Using Routine. This is why we have tried to introduce rituals, particularly the start and end of session one. We are modelling topperformers that will all have own routines before they perform.
Using Trigger Words as c oncentration c ues. Keeper away time hold it get tight You will notice that many of thesetrigger words refer to defensive situations where a lack of concentration could prove costly. If you make your players aware thatyou are working on focusing with them you might make up your own trigger word to get them working with you.
Mental Practice Get your players to mentally rehearse the task that you have asked them to do. Get them to work through thepractice using their senses how does it look, sound, feel.
Simulation Training Build the picture so that the practice situation is the same as the game situation. When you are playing inthe game situation you could even set a scenario, your team is 1-0 down with fifteen minutes to play in a cup game, how do youplay, does it change if it is a league game. This area is probably best practiced with the older players you might have.
Goal settingFor the players in your group to have a more fulfilling time the use of goal setting is a great tool. You probably already indirectly use thistechnique, but maybe by being more specific, it will also help you develop your own coaching.
How to implement
Introduce the topic at your main briefing with the group.
Inform them that you will be setting goals at the beginning of each session, but also encourage them to set their own goals for theweek.
Set one target on the field and one off the field.
The goals on the field should be:
Behaviourally measurable
Challenging but achievable
Short range that can be developed into long term,
Performance/process goals rather than outcome goals, Positive as opposed to negative goals.
Off the field it might be a goal to make 5 new friends or talk to 3 people from a different country.

Before thinking about how to implement the psychological elements within your sessions, please read the Football Psychology notes in theCoach Notes section which will give you more background knowledge on the benefits to the children and crucially what it means for yourplanning. Most coaches already implement some aspects but we are just trying to introduce children to the benefits of staying positive anddeveloping a strong character.
.
Dressing Room Zone
The coach can brief and debrief the players on the relevant session. This is also when the coach can bring in the mental and socialelements, create banter and deliver ice breakers eg the name game.
Everybody must shake hands before and after each session
Choose one MENTAL and SOCIAL element per day and focus on it through out the day in your dressing room time and out on thepitch
SOCIAL
Our courses are a great opportunity for children to develop their social skills.Implementation will be integral to each course with elements of our Code of Conduct encouraged in dressing room briefs and de-briefs aswell as coaching sessions.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Attitude Always mot ivate yourself to give your bestBehaviour Lead by example, be the best person you canCommunication Listen to you parents, teachers and coaches.

NAME GAMES
Line up
Get each group to find a space, in front of the main person that is organising. Each team appoints a team captain that should change aftereach elementof the exercise. The reason for each team captain is that when the task is complete they will go to the head coach to register completion.We now need each group to line up in.HeightAlphabetical order with Christian nameAlphabetical order with SurnameBirthdayShoe SizeFavourite Man U player in order numbere.g. Howard, Neville, NevilleWhere they are from in alphabetical order.
At the end of each little exercise, the coach should give his team feedback.Suggested time 15 minutes- 20 minutes
Shape game
As a group each team has to make the shape called out by the head coach.Rectangle.SquareTriangleCircle.Oval..ParrellegramTo develop this we could ask the group to make two shapes between them.Suggested time 15-20 minutes
Domino effect
Explain to the teams what this is, and then set them the task of making the most creative effectWave movementsStreetdance.Give each group ten minutes to come up with idea and then to practice. Each group then gets the opportunity to demo in front of big group.Suggested Time 15- 20 minutes
Pass Ball
Using a number of different sized balls this exercise requires the group to transfer the ball around the group so that everyone has a touch.
