Das Ideias e Teorias à Operacionalização: O Treino do Jogo de Futebol enquanto arte para o desenvolvimento de uma Identidade Coletiva

Abstract

The systemic and multifaceted vision of the game and football training requires its technical staff to continually and individually deepen and build knowledge in a wide variety of areas. As such, this document appears as an individual construction and development of ideas, conceptions and concepts that will be fundamental throughout my professional career. During my professional internship, I joined the coaching staff of Lusitânia de Lourosa FC's Under-19s, a team that had just been promoted to the top junior league with a completely new squad, as an assistant coach performing various roles in the individual and collective development of players based on analysing and interpreting training and the game. This seemed like a great and challenging opportunity to grow professionally and an experience in which I would accompany a head coach with a track record in the Portuguese 1st League and the African Champions League. This professional internship was the period of my greatest professional growth as a coach, and my expectations were far exceeded, as were the individual and personal goals I had set myself, although sometimes in a different way to what was expected. The richness of this context ultimately allowed me to reflect on various themes that were strongly related to what I was witnessing in my daily life. To help me reflect on and solve problems arising from practice and to write this document, I travelled through topics such as Tactical Periodisation, Chaos Theory, Decision Making based on the concepts of Creativity and Intelligence, Non-linear Learning, Aesthetic Categories, Multidisciplinary Sports, Neuroscience, among other conceptual topics that I consider fundamental to my personal and professional development, bringing together my holistic view of training and the game of football.
