This Expert Program provides training professionals and strength & conditioning coaches with the necessary competencies to understand and develop integrated conditional training processes in conjunction with the technical–tactical foundations of football.
The program is based on a comprehensive understanding of small-sided games (SSGs) as an effective methodological tool to enhance cardiorespiratory fitness, strengthen technical–tactical skills, and develop tactical awareness within realistic practice environments.
SSGs, combined with other training methods, create a dynamic setting that replicates competitive match conditions, enabling players to simultaneously develop their physical, technical, and cognitive abilities.
The core objective of the program is to situate these contents within the ecological dynamics framework, offering a contextualized approach that explains how players learn, adapt, and interact with their competitive environment. This perspective supports the design of training tasks and contexts that promote decision-making, perception, and integrated action, in alignment with the real demands of the game.
