Development of a holistic football training model through SSB student talent identification

The problem in this research was that the training units usually used are intended for training U-13 students, and the emphasis on practice was greater than the form of learning through games. So, students only get a few opportunities to get used to controlling the ball, did not gain much experience with situations in matches, felt bored and unmotivated in carrying out training activities, and need help with applying the basic techniques acquired in a match. It is a game that resembles a match. This research aimed to develop a training model to improve technical, physical, tactical, and mental soccer skills through a holistic training approach for students aged 6-13 years. This type of research was development research with developing an integrated soccer training model through talent identification in students aged 6-12 years, broadly referring to the Borg and Gall Research and Development (R&D) development model design. This research was given to all 25 SSB Football School (SSB) students registered at ASKOT Padang city. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling with the lottery. The sample used in this research was Padang City football school students from an affordable population with the same characteristics, namely ages 6-12 years. In this research and development, researchers tried to simplify Borg and Gall's steps into four stages, namely: (1) preliminary study, (2) planning the training model being developed, (3) validation, evaluation and revision of the model (4) implementation of the model. The results of this research concluded that the holistic soccer training model through talent identification is quite effective in teaching, especially in soccer.
