Description

you will learn ways to quickly overcome common problems that you may encounter in your team, and affect football team and player performance.  The special cases covered in this course are:

Detrained players (short or long term):  You will learn which adaptations are affected depending on the extent of detraining period, and what actions to need to take in order to quickly rebuild player performance!
Benched players or players with limited game participation:  You will learn which adaptations are affected by limited game participation.  You will learn how to monitor the metrics that are affected the most, and you will be given solutions for maintaining high levels of performance on benched players using modern GPS metrics!
✓Overtraining or overreaching? 
You will learn how to differentiate overtraining from overreaching.  You will learn how to evaluate the degree and etiology of overtraining and ways to quickly overcome it.
✓Return to training following an injury:
You will learn how to build the different phases of the conditioning training program of injured athletes.  Also you will learn how to monitor return-to-play using modern technologies!
✓Blood analysis in football:
Which truly relate to performance?  CPK for monitoring fatigue: Fact or myth?

This course is very important since it will provide you solutions on common problems that you will encounter in your career

Football fitness coaches
Football coaches or assistant coaches
University students majoring in football
Certified football coaches (UEFA C, B, A Pro)

Find out what changes in the adjustments depending on the interval of inactivity and make the right decisions for rapid reintegration of footballers!

Are physical abilities affected? How do I deal with it to keep them at a high level?

Differential diagnosis. How will you deal with the situations that affect the performance of footballers in a timely and correct manner.

Learn how to structure your fitness program in the reintegration process, using the new technologies!

Which ones are related to performance and overwork? CPK to control fatigue: myth or actuality?
