Admira sports director Ralf Muhr described the obligation of Janeschitz as a strategic step. In his new role, Janeschitz will participate in the sporting orientation in the youth area. He himself emphasized the motivation to take responsibility in a renowned academy and wanted to promote the individual promotion of players at the highest level so that they are prepared for professional football as best as possible.

The development of talents in football is a complex process that is influenced by various factors. According to the findings of die-sportpsychologists.de, the successful development of players not only follows the sporting performance, but also social aspects play a crucial role. This includes parental support, the relationship between the trainer and player as well as dealing with criticism and failure.

meaning of the social factors

A study from 2018 shows that of 5,736 former U19 players only 19, which corresponds to 3.5%, play in professional acids. This indicates that the chances of success of talented players are difficult to predict in professional football. Trainers are still central characters in junior football, and their competence has a direct impact on success.

Janeschitz ’it will not only be to promote talents in terms of sport, but also to create an environment in which social predictors are specifically addressed for a successful career. In this context, parents are expected to play an important role in this context that demand realistic assessments of the chances of success of coaches, while at the same time pressure can increase from the school side.

The Danish education system offers a flexible school concept for young footballers, and in Germany there are numerous elite schools that coordinate school and sporting requirements. Such approaches could possibly also inspire the Admira Academy in collaboration with Thomas Janeschitz.
