Sir Alex Ferguson
“You have to get the practice ethic into kids as early as you can.”
The principle is about competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before. As a teenager I practiced with a ball at least two-hours per day
Darren Fletcher
Arsene Wenger
“Talent is not enough – you need desire and intelligence.”
“If players miss out on creative technical development, they will continue to play predictable football throughout their lives. Football is a game of skill, imagination, creativity and decision making. Coaching should not stifle but enhance those elements”
Lionel Messi
‘As a kid they teach you not to play to win, but to grow in ability as a player. At Barcelona we trained with a ball and I hardly ever ran without a ball at my feet’.
