Overview

Team sports require coordinated development across multiple performance dimensions. Traditional periodization separates physical conditioning from tactical work, creating gaps between fitness and game application.

This course teaches how to design training weeks where every session serves tactical objectives while developing physical capacity. The approach originated in professional football but applies to any team sport with regular competition schedules.

You will learn to break down game situations into trainable components, then reconstruct them in practice with appropriate intensity and complexity. The program covers weekly microcycle design, progression principles, and recovery management within tactical contexts.

Real training plans from handball, basketball, and football provide the foundation for analysis. Participants create their own periodization models for their specific sports and competitive calendars. The focus remains on practical implementation rather than theoretical concepts.

What happens inside

Course Outline

  1. Game analysis: identifying repeating tactical situations and physical demands
  2. Microcycle structure: organizing training days around competition rhythm
  3. Session design: integrating technical and physical work within tactical scenarios
  4. Progression models: increasing complexity without losing tactical focus
  5. Recovery strategies: balancing load within competitive schedules
  6. Individual adaptation: modifying collective plans for player-specific needs
  7. Monitoring tools: tracking readiness and fatigue in team settings

Practical Components

Each module includes sample training sessions with video analysis. You will design a complete four-week mesocycle for your team and present it for group critique.
