Help The Talent Academy as the name implies is all about aiding the development of future stars in their early years.
We are able to achieve this in Nigeria through the help of our great coaches who have a great grasp of what is required to reach the required levels.
Here is exactly how HTT Academy coaches do that.
Creating a Positive and Inclusive Environment
We foster a positive and supportive atmosphere where all players feel included and valued.
And that is achieved by emphasising teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship.
Understanding Developmental Stages
HTT Academy coaches recognize the physical, emotional, and cognitive differences among players of different ages.
This enables them to tailor their coaching approach to the developmental stage of each player.
Focus on Fundamental Skills
Special focus and emphasis are placed on fundamental skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and basic game tactics.
We at HTT Academy break down complex skills into smaller, more manageable components.
Use Of Age-Appropriate Drills
We design drills and activities that are suitable for the player\’s age and skill level in a bid to keep drills fun and engaging to maintain the players\’ interest.
Encouraging Decision-Making
We promote decision-making on the field by asking players to think about their actions and choices during games.
This in turn encourages problem-solving and creativity within the rules of the game.
Providing Constructive Feedback
HTT Academy coaches offer positive reinforcement for good efforts and achievements.
Providing constructive feedback that focuses on improvement rather than criticism, goes a long way to improve confidence among young players.
Setting Realistic Expectations
We establish realistic goals for individual players and the team and celebrate achievements and milestones to boost confidence.
Being Patient and Supportive
We understand that young players are still learning and developing which is why it is important to be patient, supportive, and encouraging, especially during mistakes or failures.
We Promote Enjoyment of the Game
HTT Academy emphasises the joy of playing rather than solely focusing on winning which is why we organize activities that enhance the players\’ love for the sport.
Communicate Effectively
We use clear and simple language to convey instructions and feedback.
This fosters open communication with players and parents, addressing any concerns or questions.
Ensure Safety
HTT Academy prioritizes the safety of the players by implementing proper warm-ups, cool-downs, and injury prevention measures. We enforce fair play and discourage overly aggressive behaviour.
Involve Parents
We keep parents informed about the team\’s activities, expectations, and any other information pertaining to their wards.
This policy encourages parental support and involvement, fostering a sense of community and reminding them all that we are all in this together.
