The importance of what we do outside the track or field of play 3 keys in the life of the athlete to be able to be successful on the track or field of play We are used to seeing athletes who fail to reach the elite. When this happens, many people give their opinion, but not everyone is prepared to be able to give a reasoned and coherent opinion on the reasons why athletes cannot achieve sporting success. We will indicate 3 keys to keep in mind:

1º.- Cognitive capacity: not all players are trained to be able to understand, assimilate from the mental point of view in the intellective capacity the maturity that is required to be able to carry out an activity such as sport in a demanding way. This cognitive ability that has 2 planes: tactical or strategic and technical (fundamentals for the sport).

2º.- Physical capacity is essential for the practice of sport and has nothing to do with height, size or weight. It has to do with the physical performance capacity that the athlete can achieve effectively by taking advantage of their physique. Eating and sleeping habits, as well as "invisible" physical training that is not done during team training hours are essential parameters for success.

3º.- The socio-family environment: The vast majority of families want their sons and daughters to be sports stars. These same families are unaware that there are very few athletes in professional sports: 12 players make up a basketball team in a summer, and 15 players make up a professional basketball squad during a season (22 in football...). The number of professional athletes is very low, and only the most cognitively and physically prepared arrive and then stay.
