O ano zero da vida de um treinador: Relatório de estágio profissionalizante

Abstract

"The year zero of a coach's life", consists in making as internship report that describes my experience as a trainee coach in the 2018/2019 season, while coaching the under-eight level of the Inter Milheirós amateur team. The aim of this report is to make known the reality I experienced during this internship year, that is, everything I felt and progressed during this internship year. Throughout this report you will find three subjects which are Practice Contextualization, practice Development and Professional Development. Within these themes, there are sub-themes, such as the importance of feedbacks, the importance of training for childs development and the training plan, which I approached in more detail, taking into account what I was dealing with. As you will see, have been adapting my expectations through the year and giving great value to the small things that exist in sports training. In addition to teaching my players, I learned a lot during this year, mainly emotional. And this was because I had to overcome problems that were appearing, mainly with the parents. In terms of the training itself, I made the training plans taking into account the evolution of my players, always using new exercises to motivate their attention and interest. Throughout the year, I recorded their evolution with assessments every two or three months, always with the intention of having them continuing to learn and evolve, taking into account what they already knew how to do. At the beginning of the year, I was a completely different coach than I am today, as I learned to manage my emotions more, to manage conflicts, to be more proactive in certain situation and to deal with the frustrations that happen thought one year. In addition, my feedbacks evolved a lot and this proved to be very positive thought the year to help my players.
