Da interpretação à operacionalização de um modelo de jogo Relatório de Estágio Profissionalizante nos sub-17 do Sporting Clube de Braga Relatório

Abstract

Football is considered one of the sports that deserves the most attention. It is also imbued with a set of ideals and convictions that depend on a great extent not only on those who play, but also and above all on those who sketch and plan. In this context, the coach plays a crucial role as a leading figure who analyzes and prepares the team, proposing a game model and a specific and personalized way of playing. The main objectives of this report were based on the reflexion on the experiences lived during the professional internship, which occurs at Sporting Clube de Braga, in the 2019/2020 season. That is why this work aims to operationalize the theoretical knowledge acquired during the academic path; to understand the role and performance of the football coach as a mediator of teamwork and the results obtained; to interpret the importance of the game model in the coach's role as well as in the players' performance and, in the knowledge of the whole training process based on a game model and the standard Morfocycle of the team. The main themes addressed in this work are, in theoretical terms, the role of the coach in the leadership process and in the players' formation, as well as his importance in the design of a game model, and in the relationship that this presents with the training and game context. In practical terms, the report gives an account of my experience at S.C. Braga, including the characterization of the squad and the technical team, the description of the development of the practice and also the presentation of the team's weekly standard. After the internship, that which stands out is the importance it had in my development as a football coach, since it allowed me to be inserted in a real context, providing me with a set of positive and rewarding experiences, throughout which I was able to analyze and understand the entire training process during a season. In addition, the internship allowed me to realize that the training process is not, at all, linear, but consists of advances and setbacks which result in a continuous evolution, both in the development of the team's play, and, as a consequence, on the players themselves. In more specific lines, the internship allowed me to understand in which situations I should be more interventional and what aspects should be considered when creating exercises, so it became evident that analyzing the game is a fundamental step by coaches, so that they develop the team's playing as they have idealized.
