This internship report was carried out within the scope of the 2nd cycle of the Master´s Degree in High Performance Sports Training, Faculty of Sport, University of Porto. The assessment and the training of soccer training have the objective of controlling and analyzing in detail the factors that contribute, directly and indirectly, to the development the performance of the soccer players. It is essential for the coach to have knowledge of the individual and collective "ADN" of his team, that is, to perceive the weaknesses and strengths detected during the assessment, and what influence they may have on the development of performance throughout the season. The monitoring of the training load and the performance of preventive work, allows the monitoring of the real state of the athletes, through a set of valid training load assessment methods and instruments that help monitor fatigue, in order to prevent excessive fatigue and the occurrence of injuries; allows for awareness of the evolution of the performance, so as to provide the well-being of the footballer, prepare him and adapt him to the requirements imposed by the training and the game, both physically, technically, tactically and psychological, in order to optimize the performance of the soccer players. The decrease of the internal load for the same external load, can represent an increase of the physical condition of the soccer players. On the other hand, a correct analysis and interpretation of de training monitoring data and physical test result is essential, ensuring that soccer players are properly prepared and adapted to de demands of the games, especially when they are carried out on a congested calendar and at the end of the season.
