Avoiding Frustration, Igor Tolic Reveals the Secret to Boosting Persib Players’ Confidence

Persib head coach Igor Tolic has revealed one of the most important aspects his team is focusing on during their training camp in Bali. According to Tolic, Persib are paying close attention to the players’ psychological well-being and ensuring they remain motivated to consistently perform at their best.

For Tolic, maintaining the players’ mental condition is essential to ensuring that all of Persib’s training programs run according to plan. One of the ways he aims to achieve this is by providing the team with a new environment supported by quality training facilities.

As a former professional footballer, Tolic understands how good facilities can help boost players’ motivation and encourage them to perform at their highest level. This is something he is currently trying to maintain, with the hope that the positive atmosphere can continue when Persib return to Bandung.

“The most important things for players are a good pitch, good teammates, and a quality ball. When they come to training sessions, they feel happy,” Tolic told reporters.

With this positive mindset, Tolic believes his instructions will be easier for the players to absorb and execute. When the players are enjoying themselves, he believes they are more likely to understand and apply the instructions effectively on the pitch.

The Croatian coach also does not want Persib’s preseason preparations to follow the same routine as usual. He is concerned that a repetitive approach could make the players lose interest and ultimately prevent them from showing their best performance on the field.

“During training sessions, whatever instructions you give the players, they can execute them well when they are on a good pitch. If the pitch is not good, the players will become frustrated,” Tolic explained.

With high-quality facilities available, Tolic believes the players can naturally feel more comfortable and motivated. He also believes that a positive environment can encourage creativity and allow each player to explore and maximize their individual strengths.

“When they are on a good pitch and can do whatever they imagine, it gives them confidence, and then they become even better,” Tolic concluded.
