In the ever-evolving world of football, the coaching market is a dynamic landscape where dreams are realized, and careers are shaped. It’s a realm where clubs and coaches alike come together in pursuit of shared aspirations and ambitions. But the process isn’t clear, transparent, or perhaps the Coaches don’t understand what is actually required to be an option for that place. Let’s try to put this together and understand better the perspectives, considerations and premisses from each side! “It’s essential… Read

In the beautiful game of Football, Defense is just as crucial as Offense. “Football training is much more than that, it’s not so much the exercise itself, but your intention with it, meaning your Methodology, Strategy and Principles, yours Specific Objectives for the exercise and, most importantly, your Communication during the exercise!” By the way, I can’t perceive it as different, as if you want to train the Attacking Strategies, there must be Defenders, right?However, Football Training is much more… Read

“We won!I’m the best! My team is the best!Let’s celebrate!!!” Sounds familiar? All because, in the end, is just another day. In the euphoria of victory, it’s easy to get carried away by the thrill of triumph.But what happens after the final whistle blows?Just like a nutritionist would say that after the game/exercise the worst thing we could do is to go for fast food, or any soda, how we react to success plays a pivotal role in shaping our… Read

Offer is here. What now? Take it or not? Many of us have already been in situations where we just feel that we can go into any team and have an immediate impact ?

In the world of Football (and I would even add in today’s society system) victory is often celebrated, while defeat is viewed as a bitter pill to swallow. There’s this demonization of the defeat as you’re some kind of lower end of that specific group, or society just because you lost. Same thing happens with mistakes, or errors.But why?What if I told you that losing plays an equally (if not greater) crucial role in shaping not just a player’s skills,… Read

Seems logical to think this way (specially coming from a Portuguese national). The disclaimer here would be that I’m biased, I know, as a Portuguese national. But, truth to be said, the facts are there, and there are not many Coaches with more success than the Portuguese nationals. Likes of dislikes of the different styles apart, the reality is here. From Jorge Jesus, Carlos Queiroz, Jesualdo Ferreira, Abel Ferreira, Paulo Fonseca, Leonardo Jardim, Paulo Bento, Rui Vitória, Nuno Espírito Santo,… Read

“I play as a Striker, Coach” says a 8 years old. May I ask you: Is this teaching Football? Is this relevant?In how many positions should we teach our players to be good at? Difficult questions here. True. But one is easy to answer (at least for me), and that is that a 8 or 10 years old does not have is position in the field defined. Not just yet.They should not think that they can only play as a… Read

Let’s start with I’m a parent (this can play a decisive role on how things above are perceived).Therefore, I fully understand and know the impact of every small gesture, word or behavior I take may have on my kids. Not to mention the larger, or repetitive ones. Parents are very, very important. Parents have a tremendous impact on a child’s well-being when growing, providing and supporting on every need a child might have or on the difficulties that always come… Read

Olá! Voltando ao tema do Futebol Jovem, achei interessante falar sobre as principais considerações e principais desafios para encontrar a sustentabilidade numa Academia de Futebol Juvenil.
