Sumario:The aim of this research was to investigate the interference of sports training and psychosocial factors in the development of talented female soccer players. Twenty-nine athletes from the winning team of the Copa Libertadores da América in 2009, aged between 16 and 32, were interviewed. Qualitative research was carried out consisting of seven semi-structured questions. Data were analyzed from the “Collective Subject Discourse”. It was found that: a) women started to practice women's football “on the street” (51.7%); b) the success in the modality came with time for 65.5% of the athletes; c) 48% of the athletes stated that the training was not planned; d) the interest in football and the love for the sport were the main motivators of practice (58.6%); e) 93.1% of the athletes reported receiving support from the family; f) 79.3% believe they have adequate remuneration at the moment of their career, however, 58.6% played in adulthood without receiving financial support and their parents financed the practice (55.2%); g) Initiation teachers were cited as the most important (55.2%). In general, it is concluded that the development of some of the main football players in Brazil and in the world does not occur in a systematic way (formal training) and is dependent on family support and the possibility of playing in public places with boys (siblings, cousins, friends, etc.).
