Abstract

This internship report was completed as part of the 2nd cycle in Sports Training, specializing in High Performance, with a focus on Football, from the Faculty of Sport at the University of Porto. This report provides a comprehensive overview of my one-year experience as an intern at the Famalicão Football Club Academy, with the U-15 age group. It serves as an authentic account of everything accomplished and experienced throughout the season. Throughout this document, several reflections on the developed process are presented, following a logical chronological sequence. The training of young football players plays a crucial role in their development and growth, covering multiple dimensions, from technical and tactical to psychological and social. Therefore, it is essential that the training is planned with the aim of guiding and advancing players in these four pillars, providing stimuli and objectives capable of promoting their development. During the 2023/2024 sports season, I had the opportunity to face new challenges, develop strategies and solutions for the problems that arose, and reflect on the dilemmas encountered in practice. This document outlines the general aspects of this experience, as well as the solutions implemented to deal with the various stimuli and challenges faced throughout the year. This internship marked a milestone in my professional fulfillment, allowing me to achieve the goals and ambitions initially set.
