Abstract

While searching for excellence as football coaches, it's mandatory to be aware about the complexity of the task since the coach must have knowledge in various areas and skills. Therefore the evaluation and control during practice has become another helpful tool to aid in the training process concerning players individual performances and also in the operationalization and training planning processes. This report's main intention is to explain and reflect on the experiences lived analyzing the competitive evolution of the team during the internship done in the Vitória Sport Clube Juniors B team in the 2015-2016 season. Simultaneously was conducted a study, to evaluate the monitoring of the training load during different moments of the season, describe a weekly pattern for the training load e possible differences between same training loads in different positions, through subjective perception of effort by the players responding to training. Concerning the team's competitive evolution, the goals weren't achieved since the sport results didn't match the initial expectations. As for the conducted study there was evidence that the evaluated training loads were higher during the pre-competitive period than in the competitive one. There was a weekly general pattern for the team's training load and it was concluded that there were no positive differences between training loads in the different sectors (Defenders, Midfielders, Forwards).
