| uefa training sessions: Periodization Fitness Training - A Revolutionary Football Conditioning Program Javier Mallo, 2014-07-31 Javier Mallo is currently a fitness coach at Real Madrid. He has previously been a fitness coach at Manchester City (2 years) and Atletico de Madrid (4 years). In this book, he explains how to create, organise and structure your football specific fitness training sessions. Periodization is the systematic planning of fitness training. This book helps you solve the problem of organising the training loads in order to achieve the highest team performance possible at the different stages of a season. Within this book we provide fitness training which includes practices that develop all the attributes needed for an individual and a team, such as warm ups with and without the ball, conditioning, technical, tactical, competitive small sided games, attacking, defending, the transition from defence to attack and attack to defence. The fitness practices in this book are very creative and aim to replicate competitive matches, so the players get used to making quick decisions and solving problems that arise during competition. Fitness coaches need to have a profound knowledge of the game, as all the practices in a session have to come together in a common way of thinking related to the tactical organisation of the team. It may be possible that in the following years the term fitness coach will lose all its value and will simply be replaced by coach or assistant coach. |

| uefa training sessions: Warm up in football: training sessions & matches Gerard Nus Casanova, 2017-09-15 “It is a fact that the relationship between warming up and the principal part of a training sesión helps to increase the efficiency of a sportsperson. The player picks up the dynamics of the aforementioned training session, he gets greater benefit from the following exercises and all of this is to the benefit of the player’s performance[...]it is my hope that a greater number of better exercises will emerge which we can all use in an appropriate manner to improve the quality of our training methods and the quality of our players; and as a result, the quality of our football.[...]In short, it is a very necessary and transcendental choice.” (R.Benitez, extract taken from the prologue) Warm up in football: for training sessions and matches, aims to encourage and contribute ideas related to a fundamental part of sports performance which, unfortunately, is often neglected by many coaches. All too often we have seen this crucial aspect of training treated with disregard, with expressions such as “Do something with them, I’ll start training in 20 minutes” or “Get them to move around because we’re starting soon...”. The reality is that time is of the essence in football, just as in everyday life, and there are more tan enough reasons to make the most of every second in training trying to monitor and improve player performance, whether fully fledged professionals or academy players. Proposed warm up exercises should complement the main content of the training session. This book covers the theory and practical side of warm up, with more than fifty suggested exercises and activities to be carried out at the start of training sessions, as well as 20 warm ups used by elite football teams, along with analysis and statistics. |
| uefa training sessions: Mastering the Premier League Lee Scott, 2020-05 Discover the secrets of the game model developed by Pep Guardiola that sets Manchester City apart from the rest. When Guardiola joined Manchester City in 2016 there were doubts that he could replicate his successful model in the English game. But after a single season of acclimatization we saw those doubts shattered as City won the Premier League in 2017/18 with a record 100 points. Beyond the trophies and the records, however, lies a yet more intriguing story--of how Guardiola adapted and perfected the tactical principles that had made him so successful at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, who played the key roles on the field, enabling Manchester City's successes of 2017-19, and why the other Premier League sides were unable to stop the City juggernaut sweeping aside all in its path. |

| uefa training sessions: The assistant manager of football Denis Silva Puig, 2020-04-15 The assistant manager has existed for decades, and is a standard figure within the coaching staff, with specific roles, functions and responsibilities. However, I find it strange that nobody has yet described this profession formally. I used to only be a team manager, until one day I was proposed to be the assistant manager of U18 team of FC Barcelona. That is when I started thinking about writing this book, moved by my desire to continue learning. If I wanted to train in my new role I could only do it by asking others and observing training sessions. But I was missing one of the pillars that has forever supported my training: studying and reading. With this book I hope to cover that lack of information. The book is divided into two parts: the first is based on describing the assistant manager in professional football and I have not found a more practical way to do it than through interviews with assistant managers. Each interviewee has contributed his experiences from working with the most recognized football team managers: I am talking about people who have worked with Vicente del Bosque, Ernesto Valverde, Luis Enrique, Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino, Sergio González, Quique Sánchez Flores, and Paulo Sousa. The second part of the book is related to Youth football, which I have experienced in clubs like Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona. I propose the role of the assistant manager working in Youth football to be more formative and educational than what is currently given, and I want to direct their effort towards two dimensions: the team's sporting performance (which the vast majority do) and the individualized analysis of the young player (which very few do). This second dimension is described in the last chapter, to demonstrate a new vision of assistants in Youth football, who in my view have to dedicate their time to improving the players as an athlete and as a person in a more personalized and integral way. |

| uefa training sessions: The Champions? Thirty Years of the UEFA Champions League Mark Doidge, Yağmur Nuhrat, Radosław Kossakowski, 2025-04-18 Covering the impact on domestic leagues, clubs, fans, and players, this book is an interdisciplinary exploration of 30 years of the Champions League and how it has impacted football. The year 1992 has become a key year in the development of football. Not only was the Premier League formed in this year, but the Champions League was also launched. Both were designed to placate the larger clubs and have provided more money and resources for these elite clubs. The Champions League was also established to avoid the likelihood of a breakaway super league, although recent events have indicated that this was not successful. Despite the threat of the Super League, the Champions League continues to expand. Ultimately, this restructuring of European football’s premier competition has resulted in a variety of impacts on domestic leagues, clubs, fans and players, all are themes that are explored here. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in sports marketing and management, sociology, cultural studies and media analysis. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society. |

No club moves me from Chelsea until Chelsea wants me to move because I want to be where I am loved' - Jose Mourinho, January 2014 Yet in December 2015, the love affair came to an incredible and stunning end. This book chronicles the entire remarkable story of Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, with a critical insight into how and why it ended so dramatically. Confrontational, passionate, full of chutzpah. Mourinho is a masterful tactician, and surely the best boss in the history of Chelsea. Yet for a second time the Emperor of the Bridge, Roman Abramovich, cast him aside. The reason?: having won the Premier League, the team's defence of the title proved to be one of the most bizarre periods in the club's history. In his first stint at Stamford Bridge the self-styled 'Special One' won two League titles back-to-back, the FA Cup and two League Cups, and included a still-unsurpassed Premier League points-tally record of 95 in the 2004-5 season. On returning 'home' after a six-year absence, Mourinho receiving a welcome by an army of Chelsea fans who love him every bit as much as they used to. He rewarded their faith in some fashion, sweeping aside newly rich Manchester City to soar to a third League title (with three games to spare), as well as a third League Cup. Then came the biggest collapse of any defending title-holder. Why did it happen? Who was to blame? Was there a players' rebellion? Who panicked behind the scenes, and why? How much was the row with the first-team doctor, Eva Carneiro, at the heart of Mourinho's second sacking from Chelsea? The answers lie in this fully revised, updated and expanded edition of Harry Harris's biography. It brings Mourinho's story right up to date, showing exactly why English football would be infinitely poorer without the colourful, commanding, and controversial presence of the 'Special One'. |

| uefa training sessions: Coach Education in Football Thomas M. Leeder, 2022-06-09 Association Football is undoubtedly a global sport, with millions of individuals participating in more than 200 countries. The need for an educated football coaching workforce to deliver appropriate coaching practices has never been greater. Formal coach education, which is often the primary medium for developing football coaches, is socially constructed, meaning an array of social, cultural, and historical factors underpin the design and delivery of any provision. Coach Education in Football: Contemporary Issues and Global Perspectives is the first book to explicitly explore these aspects, by providing critical insight into football coach education programmes from across the globe. Each chapter, organised via a central theme, highlights a contemporary issue affecting football coach education and development within a specific country, offering insights into the contextual opportunities and challenges. The book covers essential topics including the progression of female football coaches, coaches’ perspectives towards current provision, technological and pedagogical advances, and the historical development of formal coach education. Each chapter demonstrates the complexities associated with developing football coaches within grassroots and high-performance domains, while providing recommendations for national governing bodies, policy makers, and coach developers. This book is the first of its kind to explicitly investigate football coach education globally. This accessible book is an important read for students, academics, and practitioners with an interest in sports coaching, coach education, and football. |
