Abstract

Football, as one of the most popular and culturally significant sports worldwide, is a constantly evolving field that demands from coaches a comprehensive preparation integrating physical, technical, tactical and psychological components. Within this context, the role of the coach becomes particularly relevant, not only in building sporting performance but also in fostering the development of young athletes as responsible and active individuals. This professional internship report was developed within the master's degree in Sports Training, specialization in High-Performance Training, at the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto, and was carried out at Clube Desportivo Feirense - SAD, with the under-19B team, during the 2024/2025 season. The internship provided direct experience of the demands of a multidisciplinary coaching staff, through involvement in planning and implementing training sessions, conducting match analysis, and managing team dynamics. At the same time, it offered a framework for critical reflection on contemporary methodological models theoretically addressed in classes, as well as on the importance of integrated monitoring of training loas and athlete well-being. This experience also highlighted the value of communication, leadership, and adaptability in consolidating a productive and formative professional environment, Overall, the internship contributed significantly to both the professional and personal development of the author, consolidating essential competencies for future practice in more demanding contexts of high-performance sports coaching.
