This Expert Program focuses on the comprehensive monitoring and management of football players, with an initial emphasis on the identification and understanding of neuromuscular risk factors, which are considered a priority in injury prevention for this population. Mastery of these factors enables the establishment of precise strategies for simultaneously managing performance and injury risk, effectively integrating prevention with athletic development.
To achieve this, the program includes a training block dedicated to conditional assessment, which progresses through different levels of analysis, gradually advancing toward the evaluation of specific skills directly related to the demands of football. This stepwise approach ensures a functional and contextualized understanding of the player’s condition.
Additionally, the program delves into the emotional dimension through the PsychMapping model, which provides a structured framework for analyzing how mood states, individual traits, and external influences affect performance. Based on this understanding, strategies are developed to optimize both external performance and self-regulation processes, thereby promoting a more comprehensive and sustainable development of the young footballer.
