Sergio Busquets and Bojan Krkic, two former key players of FC Barcelona, led an important discussion on the development of young football players at the 14th edition of the Coaches' Day organized by the Federació Catalana de Futbol (FCF), held in the Auditori of the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower. This annual gathering aims to bring experts and former professionals to share experience and knowledge with coaches and trainers in Catalonia.
Joining them in attendance were Víctor Sánchez, once part of Barca and also a big name in Espanyol, and Javi Márquez, who also once played for Espanyol. In the interview 'Process of Developing Young Talents', they discussed the important steps in discovering, guiding, and developing young people at higher levels of football.
Busquets and Krkic shared some important details from their personal and professional careers, specifically the importance of discipline, training, and the right support from the right staff and academy program. As a product of La Masia, Barca's renowned youth academy, they explained the critical role of proper shaping and the concept of holistic development to teach not only the aspect of the game but also the proper behavior and mentality of the player.
The challenges faced by youth were also discussed, including pressure from an early age, proper handling of success and failure, and the responsibility of coaches to strengthen not only the physical appearance but also the emotions and thoughts of each young player. Busquets described how coaches and clubs play a critical role in shaping professional and resilient athletes for the future of football.
Overall, the purpose of such an event is to inform and encourage coaches and football academies in the region to follow the success models of Barcelona and Espanyol to further grow the quality of grassroots football not only in Catalonia but throughout Spain. An inspiring message is left for the new generation of young players, with guidance from the legends of today's game.
