Psychology is behind the victory of the women’s football team in England

The women’s football team in England, known as Lioneses, has strengthened its place in sports history by winning successive European championships.

Compared to the relatively bleak performance of the country’s (black) football team’s football team is inevitable, not the temptation of male ego. The England team has not won anything since 1966.

The inevitable question is done: Are there some aspects of female psychology that can explain why the country itself can produce two national teams with great performance records in international competitions?

issue sex The differences are still controversial in biology and psychology policy.

However, an analysis of psychological gender differences may still be needed, as when it comes to physical differences between male and female soccer players, comparisons tend to prefer men in a global global.

For example, football players suffer from the risk of infection two or three times in the ACL (front cruciate ligament) compared to their male counterparts. This is calculated through the anatomical differences between the shape and knees of the knees and thighs between men and women.

But can the superior spirit of the team compensate for football players for these physical defects when making comparisons with male players?

After all, the bronze Lucy, a more decorating football player in England, has now been revealed that she played with broken fabric throughout the tournament.

Another physical difference. Men prefer that high -density running in female elite football matches is 30 percent less than their male counterparts in a similar competitive standard.

One of the studies studied the gender differences in the character’s performance characteristics for elite football players during the UEFA Champions League matches using a multi -camera system.

Male players have covered more than female players at a higher speed. The players often lost the ball and offered the completion rates of low passes of male players. The study claimed that the high -density exercise periods are considered important, as it was found that the amount of high -speed running is a distinctive factor between the first -class players and those in a lower level.

Another study of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, describing 101,759 events from 64 games, 32 national teams, 736 players, and the 2019 Women’s Football World Cup, with 71,636 events, 44 games, 24 national teams and 546 players.

On average women’s matches are characterized by more free kicks, stitching, acceleration, resources, ball and traffic touches, but less errors from men’s matches. Men’s permits are more accurate than women, but the number of errors is less in matches between women compared to men.

Therefore, this raises the issue of whether working women as one team do better in winning football than the most competitive male ego that may allow men’s teams.

In a group sport like football, a personal mistake can be corrected by a partner, as the team company was a major support in times of stress and self -doubt.

Another theory of more passion Steadfastness Among the elite female football players is that the history of their development in expanding the top odors of sport may be completely different from the history of men, and therefore more StagnantA tougher mathematical production.

You may imagine the young women who exercise that their bodies are seen, commented and evaluated by others because of the physical changes of communication in a way that means that younger sports must be overcome when it comes to the negative judgment of others in the early stages of them Professional life.

Perhaps that superior mental flexibility explains the uncompromising spirit of fighting that represents the lion’s ability in this tournament to continue from behind.

France has already been defeated in the opening match, but England wore again, overcoming the next two teams, which they faced to reach the stages of the knockout. Then they were 2-0 to Sweden in the quarter-finals, but they still return, and they eventually won the weighting, a notorious Achilles heel for the men’s team.

Then they were 1-0 back to Italy in the semi-finals before teenager Michelle Ajding scored the equalizer in the 96th minute and Kelly scored the winner in the 119th minute.

One of the potential explanations presented by some sports psychologists is that football players for women may record higher in the cohesion of the team compared to men. It may be a greater part of female psychology to be a better and more supportive team player.

He argues in the BBC Sport collection, which draws a gathering of the team, on the BBC Sport attention To Lucy Bruns’s willingness to play through pain, the solidarity reaction among the players was to the experience of his teammate Jess Carter in racist abuse, while Grang’s colleagues were pushed towards fans to receive synchronization.

Also, a number of studies argued, controversial, that women may be able to outperform men in particularly long events (endurance) such as super marathon, indicating that there is something about focus and mental exhaustion as mathematics can have an advantage over males.

Women may be less “involved in the ego” than men and even in the office are more interested in the completion of the task that has been appointed, while men appear transit to the meetings and they seem to be the elite performers, in order to promote the most insured, compared to the actual fighting in the trenches.

In a final penalty, it was not possible for England to have a more catastrophic start, as the first shot should be re -removed, then it was saved. This has become a real test of the character, which is to continue to fight although it seemed, at that point, such as the presence of an impossible hill to climb.

Some sports psychologists indicate this as the “hero’s mentality”, which focuses on the exact balance between the upper Self -faith However, do not transfer to arrogance, NarcissismThen haunted before shame On public places Humiliation. Fearful Failure means that the players are tightening and not playing freely.

It is clear that there is no psychological “magic bullet” that can replace hours of training and physical and technical excellence in the field of play, but this escalating nervous final indicates that there is something at the top of the elite sport on the mental aspects that determine the difference between the champion and the second place.

Exactly what is still mysterious, but perhaps for the football elite in England, men have something to learn from women when it comes to mental strength, focus, psychological energy and team spirit.

Perhaps with more money, magic, journalism and admirers in the game of men, athletes in football from the elite are now playing simply for a wrong reason, while women, given the relative absence of all of the above, should play more for joy and aspiration, to master the skill, nothing less.

Sometimes success can generate failure.
