Growth isn’t about being perfect—it’s all about showing up, learning, and giving it another shot.
All young footballers will make mistakes. Missed chances, poor passes, poor decisions—it is inevitable. And that’s the way it should be.
Errors are a part of the learning process. Whether you’re a sideline parent or a player on the field, you must realize this: errors are how good players are created.
Why Mistakes Matter
The best players in the world make errors. What sets them apart isn’t that they avoid mistakes—it’s that they learn from them.
Here’s what coaches look for
- How a player reacts after something goes wrong
- Whether they give up or get back in the game
- If they can adjust and try again without fear
Messing up is simply part of getting better.
For Players
What to Do When You Mess Up
- Take a breath. Reset and move on to the next play.
- Stay in the moment. Don’t dwell. Focus on what you can do right now.
- Talk to yourself like a teammate. Be encouraging, not critical.
- Use it to improve. Ask yourself: What can I do differently next time?
- Keep going. Your effort matters more than any single mistake.
For Parents
How to Support Your Child After a Mistake
- Stay calm. Body language matters—avoid showing frustration.
- Praise effort. Focus on how hard they played, not just the outcome.
- Normalize failure. Let them know even pros mess up.
- Ask open questions. “What did you learn from that moment?”
- Reinforce fun. Help them love the game, win or lose.
Growth Comes from
Effort, Not Perfection
Confidence doesn’t come from never messing up—it comes from knowing you can bounce back. Every mistake your child makes is an opportunity to grow in skill, character, and mindset.
