The Program focuses on the developing football player, with the aim of cultivating the knowledge and competencies required to design individualized developmental pathways tailored to each player’s specific needs and contextual realities. To achieve this, the program promotes the implementation of motor learning methodologies grounded in contemporary approaches, such as differential learning, which have proven effective in enhancing adaptability and autonomy during skill acquisition.
From a physiological perspective, it is essential to understand the influence of growth and biological maturation on sports performance and injury risk. Accordingly, the program integrates evidence-based strategies to address potential biases and ensure equitable opportunities throughout the different stages of development—an approach exemplified by the use of bio-banding. To support appropriate monitoring of this process, emphasis is placed on training in functional assessment tools, enabling practitioners to identify injury risk factors and systematically track each player’s performance progression.
In parallel, the program delves into the emotional dimension of the player, addressing psychosocial performance theory through the PsychMapping model. This framework enables a comprehensive analysis of the impact of mood states, individual traits, and contextual influences on athletic performance. Based on this holistic understanding, intervention strategies are proposed to optimize both external performance and self-regulation processes, fostering integral and sustainable player development.
