Let’s see, after a month of work, how players are approaching the new season. We won’t focus so much on upcoming tournaments or clinics. Instead, our attention will be on the players’ psychology, their relationships, and how they adapt to their routines. It’s a way of getting inside their heads, understanding what they’re thinking and feeling during such an important stage in their lives.
It should be borne in mind that we are coming out of a long holiday period, that some of the lads are coming from far away and that training and living together can be overwhelming at first, especially for the newcomers. The more experienced players already know what to expect and just need to get used to the routine again.
Start of the Season, a key moment for players
The beginning of the season is filled with excitement and anticipation. The kids arrive at Kaptiva Sports Academy, ready to embark on a new journey. The first few days are about settling in, meeting their peers, and familiarizing themselves with the environment.
This is the perfect time to set personal and athletic goals for the season. The players work with their coaches and tutors to outline what they want to achieve and the steps they need to take.
Early interactions with their teammates and coaches are crucial. These initial bonds will lay the foundation for strong relationships and teamwork throughout the year.
Period of adjustment to the routine
The first few months are all about getting used to the new environment, schedules, and routines. They will need to manage their time between training, school, and personal activities.
Being away from home can be challenging. It’s normal to feel homesick, but finding ways to stay connected with family and friends, while forming new bonds at the academy, can help.
This period helps build their resilience. Adapting to new situations and overcoming initial challenges will strengthen their ability to handle future obstacles. After all, it’s a whole year away from home, relying on teammates and staff at Kaptiva Sports Academy to make you feel at home. So far, all our players have felt welcomed and at home, so this has never been an issue.
Monitoring throughout the season
One advantage of Kaptiva Sports Academy is that we have a team of psychologists who hold regular individual meetings with each player. Pau, Joel, Christian… All of them look after the emotional well-being of our boys from day one.
In fact, at the start of the season, as always, they have held meetings with families to learn more about the players, such as their expectations and background, in order to be able to help them in a more precise way according to their needs.
That is why, throughout the year, they get to know how they feel and how they can meet those expectations. Now, at the beginning of the year, they are closer than ever to lending a hand to make the adaptation to a new and unfamiliar routine more bearable.
These have been some key points on how players are approaching the new season. You can always visit our website to learn more about how we work. Besides, you can also read more posts on our blog, where you will find more interesting details about our programs and news about upcoming events.
