Combining scientific knowledge and best-practice, the content will focus on topics such as individual analysis, individual training, player loading, and return to play as well as the use of data for individual development.

I believe that nowadays it is fundamental to customize the training since the characteristics of every single player are different. Furthermore, I believe that is necessary to manage various situations where players have different ages, so it is appropriate to have a different workload everyday.

This course has developed my understanding of what kind of exercises are great to improve players’ performance, and what kind of exercises to do during the week. I think the highlight of the course was the practical sessions, we had gathered data so we could see if the exercises had the correct aim for the players. Furthermore, I believe that is necessary to manage various situations where players have different ages, so it is appropriate to have a different workload everyday.

It was very interesting to see each individual player, where are they playing what are their positions, what are their individual physical and technical weaknesses by testing, And then out of that information trying to be creative and create exercises specific for that player.
