Why this course?
As a coach, most times we have a general idea on how we want our team to play: we want to press high, perhaps we want to defend low and counterattack or maybe we want to play direct to our striker. However, in order to apply any of those plans with success you must master all the principles behind that way of playing.
In this 20-hour course we are going to dive deep on them, covering all four phases of the game (attack, defense, offensive transition, defensive transition) and providing you with the tools to apply successfully any of the game strategies you use in your team.
You will explore in detail all team fundamentals distributed by game phase, learning the concepts from each of these fundamentals that will help you to apply them in the games and in training sessions. Also, you will learn and explore the different options of playing by principles or playing by closed solutions, being able to make your own decisions based on your game model and your players.
After taking this course, you will master the team fundamentals in all phases, being able to analyze the game in a collective way and also to train your players to apply them.
