How football players grow, change, improve, progress, and transform?
[FOOTBALLIDENTITY]
[WIN-LOSE IDENTITY]
° winning provides us happiness, glory, and respect ° comes from the desire to have and build up a positive self-image ° if not winning, we are losing - football becomes an ALL or NOTHING matter ° our IDENTITY depends on winning continuously; if not, we are impacted negatively in our self-image ° because winning games often depends on various factors that we are not always in control, a player or a team is constantly reinforced in receiving a winner and loser IDENTITY, an oscillating positive-negative self-image
[LEARN-LOVE IDENTITY]
° if to learn is the aim, then winning or losing is a reflection of our process of progression and growth ° learning IDENTITY always stays positive as there are more steps for higher performances even if winning, and definitely, there is more to learn when losing the game ° the love IDENTITY connects us with the profound reason of why we play football: the love for the game, the love to play, that brings us true joy ° the player and the team that loves to play and is free from negative pressures facilitate more creative forces and positive energy that can lead to higher levels of development and performance ° building a constant, solid, mature self-image in a player or a team (it doesn't depend on winning or losing)
