A team coach’s attention is divided in many ways. First, they are dealing with a large group of players (+15). Second, their focus is split between the 4 categories (mental, physical, tactical and technical). Third, their main objective is to build a team that plays well together, which means that their focus is on team tactics (i.e. player positioning, movements on and off the ball, combination patterns etc.)

The game of soccer and the abilities required to become a great soccer player can be divided into 4 broad categories: mental, physical, tactical and technical.
As with any other highly competitive sport, soccer requires players to develop their mental strength. This includes the ability to remain positive after a loss, remaining concentrated after making a mistake and being disciplined enough to train consistently over a period of many years.
