Abstract

This report presents and analyses the professional internship experience carried out with the Under-17 team of Futebol Clube do Porto during the 2024/2025 season, within the scope of the Master's in High-Performance Football Training at the Faculty of Sport, University of Porto. The internship provided direct involvement in training planning and implementation, opponent analysis, and individual player monitoring, allowing the practical application of Tactical Periodization as the club's central methodology. Throughout the internship, the trainee was able to observe and engage in all phases of the formative and competitive process, reflecting on coach identity, team management, development of collective behaviours, and adaptation of exercises to individual needs. The experience highlighted the importance of linking theory and practice, as well as integrating tactical, technical, physical, and psychological principles, promoting the development of the trainee's professional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills. The report further underscores the significance of immersion in a high-performance context for consolidating strategic and operational competencies and for personal and professional growth, providing a solid foundation for future challenges in a football coaching career.
