Abstract

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Achievements in the football championship achieved by a country become a pride and make the country better known by other countries in the world. Each country competes to conduct football coaching, one of which is to create a football training curriculum that can improve the achievements of football athletes. But of course in addition to the achievement of the development of life skills of athletes of football must also be considered, because in essence a football athlete is expected to have good football skills and be able to perform optimally, must also succeed in his daily life. This is in line with the paradigm that has developed in various countries, namely ^development through sport^. For that components of life skills must be integrated in the football training curriculum, especially young football training. Furthermore, football coaches must be able to implement the curriculum through a training model in which the components of life skills are integrated.
