Description

Along the course, the participant will find an evolution of the learning process theories, emphasising the coach-player relationship, understood not as a unidirectional training and from teacher to student, but as a two-way exchange where both of them interact and agree on intentions and focuses on the practice. This exchange goes from feedback to the planning of specific, massive, variable and continuous preferential simulation situations, by the use of constraints.

Along the years, football has evolved both in its game dynamics, as well as the use and understanding of the sciences that different agents, especially coaches, have relied on to support the actions aimed at optimising the game and its players. Initially, it was based on the application of general training theories, supported by the traditional sciences (mechanistic, behavioural, etc.), for training plans originating from individual sports. Nevertheless, the athlete was “forced” to adapt to game contexts and scenarios, not only related to the technical and tactical needs of the game, but also to the way of learning and interpreting (training) it.

Learn to

Understand the practice and competition system as a whole, in order to integrate all the elements and factors that intervene in the process.

As coaches, become self-aware of the information we have in our practice and competition environment, in order to optimise our pedagogical exchange.

Know the optimal conditions of the learning environment in order to optimise the player.

Use video feedback in practice settings as an indispensable resource for motor learning and to develop self-awareness.

Course Syllabus

Pedagogical exchange with the player: the role of the coach-trainer in the learning process

Module 1: Critical Thinking and Methodological Context: Where do we come from and where are we going? Understand what is the ultimate goal of the methodology and how to integrate all the existing elements in the learning context. Module 2: The Coach's Learning: Why do the coaches see what they see? Understand how their behaviours emerge and how to get in tune with the team's context. Module 3: Coach-Player Interaction: How to optimise the exchange of information and have a greater impact on the learning process? Understand the environmental conditions through which the player’s naturalised behaviours are facilitated and generated. Module 4: Pedagogical Exchange with the Player. Learning Strategies and Atmosphere.

Pedagogical exchange with the player: video feedback in the continuum of motor practice

Module 1: Observational learning how to give feedback? Understand what differential aspects are added in the coach's work when combining visual feedback with physical practice. Module 2: Training practices. Where to give the feedback? Pay attention as a coach to the resulting effect on the player of the relationship between the practice context and the intervention style. Module 3: Exchange with the player through observational learning. Anticipate and concrete multimodal extrinsic information to enhance the motor learning process. Module 4: The visual feedback on video. Why give video-feedback? Alter the viewing speed to specify the interaction.

Pedagogical exchange with the player: the design of the preferential simulation situations (PSS) in relation to the preference of didactic content

Module 1: Coordinative Preference PSSs. Module 2: Cognitive Preference PSSs. Module 3: Contextual Preference PSSs. Module 4: Cross-sectional parameters: introduction to variability and oriented or exploratory planning.
