Da Conceptualização à Operacionalização: A (Re)Construção de uma Identidade Coletiva

Abstract

This document refers to the internship undertook during the 2017/2018 season in FC Porto's Under 16 team, assuming itself as a moment of great wealth because it allows us to experiment, evaluate, reflect and reformulate ideas in the search for a Collective Identity. The objectives of this period were defined and framed under the formative and sporting perspective, perfectly aligned with the maximum goal of my functions as FC Porto coach - development and empowerment of the players within the Specificity inherent to the Game Model that guides the whole process. The structure of this Report is composed of 7 chapters (1. Introduction, 2. Practice Contextualization, 3. Objectives, 4. Practice Development, 5. Professional Development, 6. Final Synthesis, 7. Bibliography), with the purpose of presenting a personal, in-depth and reflective view of how we intend to develop the practice throughout the year. The construction of the Game Model assumes itself as the core of this document, evidencing the dynamic nature inherent to the development process of the same. Thus, throughout this document a set of themes that reinforce the importance of the interdependence relationship between the conceptual and operational perspective are focused, in order to develop an identity game. After completion of the internship, and respective reporting, we reinforce our conviction that the development of the Game Idea has a multifactorial nature which we cannot renounce, that should be supported by a constant reflective attitude. This process presupposes a collective identification with the Idea that we intend to embody and the development of a synergetic work between the different elements of the staff to operationalize it, making each element contribute actively and feel responsible for the construction of a game that identifies us.
