ABOUT US | PHILOSOPHY

Attitude
To progress to your full potential as a football player it is vital to have the correct attitude both on and off the football pitch. You need to be positive and dedicated to fully master your skills and you need to be cool and composed when under pressure to keep control of the moment you are in. |
 |
Respect
Always respect your team mates, your opponents, your coach and the referee. In order to get the best out of your team it’s important to appreciate the efforts of those around you. If you fail to respect the opponent you underestimate their potential, which can make your own standards fall below your usual level. Football should be played in the spirit of fair play, encouragement and fun. Take advice from your coach to help your game improve and remember self-respect is key for your own development as a player and a person. |

Skills
At Arsenal we believe that skills and technique are essential to inspire creativity, flair, excitement and entertainment. Skills can help make football fun, help you improve as a player and help you beat your opponent. Be inventive with the turns and tricks you use to move the ball, use both feet and don’t forget to work on the basic skills such as control and passing. |
 |
Energy
You need to have lots of energy to get the most out of playing football. The longer you can maintain a high level of fitness for, the more this will benefit you in games. If you’re not as fit as you can be, it becomes difficult to play to your maximum level. Drink plenty of water, think about the food you eat and be as active as you can in your day to day lives. |

New thinking
Embrace your coach’s ideas and always think about different ways you can improve tactically and technically. Be creative with your thoughts and express them on the field whenever you can. |
