The structure of the course is divided into 4 main modules (Planning, Methodology, Physical Development and Match Analysis). We will share, step by step, all the key insights of a complete, transversal, innovative and coherent methodology, answering the 4 questions that every methodology must answer:
- Why? Before we start to train, it is useful to review what the authors, who have dedicated their lives to studying the training processes of young players, state in their theories. In addition, it is advisable to develop a solid proposal that will support all the decisions and actions that will follow. It is the argument of why we will do things one way or another.
- What to train? Identification of the game understanding stage of our players to choose the content and concepts to train, to help them to make the step up to the next level.
- When to train it? Once we have chosen the content and concepts, it is very important to organize them over time. The planning and programming process with each of its steps will help us to organize all the training objectives throughout the season in a coherent way and adjusted to the needs of our players.
- How to train it? Once we go out to the field, it is time to train! We will see all the resources that we have as coaches, to learn how to design tasks and training sessions to maximize the learning of our players depending on the objective.
