WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS PROGRAM?
This course will help you to learn more about all the Set Pieces that exist in football. You will complete it through a story that will put you in the shoes of a professional coach, challenging you to overcome all kinds of situations and obstacles during the process. In addition, you will discover every aspect of the Set Pieces and have access to real statistics, giving more value and importance to the content presented in the course. We will analyse the actions in both attack and defence, so that you can identify all the patterns, advantages, and disadvantages of both your own and your opponent’s Set Pieces.
The aim is to give you all the possible tools to optimise your own team’s performance on the pitch. To do this, you will also learn about the methodological approach – how to prepare Set Piece training tasks out on the pitch.
Finally, you will be introduced to the most advanced technological analysis tools and learn how to use them to compile information, order it and interpret it according to methodological patterns, leading you to face the competition with a professional analysis of your own team and of the opposition. All of this will be done autonomously but also through sharing your learning with the community and the tutors.
