The rules of good manners found in books of etiquette – claim that they help people understand each other and facilitate their mutual communication, thus enabling us to engage socially with greater ease and self-confidence. We learn these rules from birth, which is the only way to completely internalize them. The film deals with customs of eating and drinking – specifically with the lunch situation, as eating together is the central place for showing others our refinement and civilized manners.

Be careful not to get into an awkward situation and lose the reputation of an honest and upright person due to a small intentional or unintentional breach, because you must not forget that, abroad, our people will often be judged based on your behaviour.

Distributive attention has a handful of various forms in which it is shown during play. There is often a tendency for players not to be able to divert their attention from place they are looking at. Their attention is focused on only one object. The ability to change attention faster is a big weapon in game tactics. For the accuracy of the kick, the dimensions of the goal can be drawn on the wall and then divided into squares, and each square is marked with an ordinal number. On this wall, all kinds of kicks are practiced. The wall is very economical, because the player does not waste time while learning, which speeds up the automation of the striking technique.
