After learning about the factors, now with this analysis you can see that most of the factors can influence each other in one way or another.

The negatives are that when training and playing games you won’t be able to concentrate, you won’t be focused, you will get annoyed when you do something wrong and you will take your stress out on others which will result in arguments. An example of someone who is stressed was Luis Suarez because he got dropped for a while which meant his performance level would drop in training because it has had an effect on him as he wasn’t used to it, also when he came back to play games because he was dropped it affected him big time meaning his performances in games especially the big games wasn’t up to the level it should be, so he lost confidence because of it.
