Abstract

This internship report is a document that aims to complete the master's degree in High Performance Training at the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto, having been carried out in the Sport Comércio e Salgueiros (SCS) U15 men's football team, in the 2024/2025 season. Carrying out an internship at a historic club in the city of Porto, such as SCS, represented a huge sense of responsibility. All the experiences, learning and requirements of this internship allowed a positive evolution on my part as a professional and as a person. In the initial part, I described the objectives outlined for the internship, expectations and their contextualization. Then, I made a brief summary of the club's history, contextualization of the structure and description of the functions of the elements of the technical team. Next, an individualized characterization of the players and presentation of the game model was made. This section also addressed topics such as the format of the competition in question, results and classifications. The final part of the report focuses more on critical reflections on the work developed throughout the year, with observations that are intended to be objective and pertinent. In addition, I highlighted the skills acquired and my personal and professional development. This academic document is oriented from the point of view of a practical course from the perspective of the coach. All themes and reflections encompass my ideological perspective of the role of the coach in the context of an internship. In particular, I highlight my reflection on the emotional proximity and friendship with the players.
