When parents and/or teachers complain that their children/students seem to ignore them or not hear what they are saying, it is often because they are constantly receiving negative criticism. So, as you say, their brains shut down. They protect themselves by not hearing what they are being told. Sadly, when they ignore these adults, they lose the opportunity to learn. They have "thrown out the baby with the bath water".
As you say, it takes many positive comments to restore a child's confidence after one negative comment... unless the child has been prepared by what is called the "sandwich method". If a coach/teacher/parent is constantly noticing what a child is doing well and telling that child, then when criticism comes, the child's self-confidence can handle it. So use lots of positive comments, a negative comment when necessary, but followed immediately by some positive comments. I don't know much about soccer, but the way that a criticism is given can turn it from positive to negative. For example, "you did that kick nicely but what would have happened if you had (done this instead, made this small change, etc.)?" Or "that was really good. Is there a way that you would have felt better about it? If you had done something differently? What do you think would have happened if you had done this instead?" And it is important to separate the skill from the person... instead of "You didn't score.", say "What went wrong with that kick?" In that way, the child learns that the kick was bad but he is not bad. And it is also important to use positive words in a criticism. For example, "you were too far from x" should be replaced by "next time, try to move closer to x." This is not just the psychology of sports. It is the psychology of human interaction. A person might think that he has done well to praise his children 10 times in one day, but one negative comment spoken unwisely with a lot of emotional energy behind it can destroy all the good done by the other positive comments. And sadly, some people lose control of their emotions in sports activities. A negative comment shouted at a person especially with great emotion attached needs a minimum of equally intense emotions accompanied by positive comments. Most people can get more emotional in anger than in love. Watch the parents and coaches at soccer games. Sometimes the only positive comments that the young players get is from their coaches.
