A Imprescindível Relação entre Jogo, Análise e Treino no Futebol Relatório de Estágio Profissionalizante realizado na equipa Sub-17 do Sporting Clube de Braga

Abstract

Football is a phenomenon with implications in the sociocultural, sociological, political, and economic domains, which justifies the heavy investment in the different areas that best describe it. Considering this picture, one of the fundamental procedures in understanding the conducive factors to the team's success is match analysis. For this reason, this report has as its main aim to highlight the importance of observation and analysis of the Sporting Clube de Braga under-17s squad's dayto- day routine. Furthermore, it considers description and reflection in the different stages, and their correlation with training and match execution, in order to equip the young football players with the necessary skills to play in the first team. Through the relevant content in the available literature, practical experience, and the inherent reflexions, the following conclusions were reached: 1) the importance of your own team analysis, ranging from collective down to individual level, in the growth of young football players, being that analysis of opposing teams is not as preponderant in this age group; 2) a superior investment in the qualitative dimension relatively to the quantitative, that is, a bigger focus in the process in order to attain results, more than in the products themselves; 3) the training objective consists of supplying the young players with more resources and equipping them with adequate skill so that they can solve problems that arise during matches; 4) the knowledge of the game and filtering capacity are fundamental in aiding the main coach's decision-making process; 5) technological resources are a tool that can facilitate the performance analyst's work.
