  2. Manu says:

    Albert Good,
    wanted to ask which is the weekly volume per session and recommended that we use in training actions sprint complex as ballast or the like, from my point of view I think it would be interesting to know the details you can provide so we would have an approximation gps ¿ but think it would be interesting to work a week less volume than the competition or conversely greater volume? what size would work if you do not have GPS?
    greetings and thank you very much

  3. Albert says:

    HI MANU,

    IF YOU HAVE A MUCH BETTER BECAUSE GPS can be measured MORE ACCURACY OR ANY SPRINT explosive movements (LOAD BODY) THAT MAKE THE PLAYER, BUT YOU'LL HAVE AN ANALYSIS OF DIRECTLY OR THROUGH VIDEO (... lots of work).

    Sounds good BUT THE METHOD OF WEIGHTS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FORCE OR SPEED SPEED (acceleration) PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT ALL SHOULD BE GENERAL ASSIGNMENT WITHIN THE PREPARATORY PERIOD OR AT TIMES VERY COMPETITIVE POINT OF PERIOD ... BUT I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THE BEST WAY ABOVE THOSE QUALITIES OF WORK HAS TO BE ALWAYS WITH TASKS THAT CHARACTER AND COMPETITIVE espcial RELATED ASPECTS conditionality, volitional aspect, THE EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL OR LOS-interrelation SITUATIONS AND OBVIOUSLY YOUR TECHNICAL SOCCER TACTICS ... THAT IS ATTENDING A THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INTEGRATED METHODOLOGY.

    The volume and nature of the load is determined by factors such as AS GROUP WORK WITH THAT, THE TIME OF microcycle, THE PERIOD OF THE SEASON, THE FITNESS OF PLAYERS (EACH PLAYER OR IF YOU CAN), ETC ....

    I am at your disposal for any comments or questions

    A SALUTE

    hello albert - this is onder and i live in turkey. Exercise Studied science and ı fitness and athletic training in the U.S.. I Came back to turkey about 4 years ago. now I am Working with a pro football team in turkey, Antalyaspor. I would love to talk with you and exchange info.

  6. Hello Albert is a pleasure and an honor to speak at the distance reach you. I'm currently technical adviser in Latin America, was in Venezuela with a team of First Division (Union Atletico Maracaibo, where I went to create the youth divisions) and now I'm going to Mexico, I have some forums in various countries on the formation of in the youth soccer player. (www.mundialinfantil.com, and also http://mundialito.mundialinfantil.com ) I would like your comments on the work at the level of youth soccer in the process of the sub 15 to sub 20. Also I am working with a project on the day after the player a topic that few former players speak. It would be an honor if you could participate in this topic. Hopefully you can give me some feedback. Greetings from Uruguay.

  7. Albert says:

    Hi Gonzalo, I appreciate your kind words.

    First of all congratulations for taking your time the youth sector as it is a crucial stage of the player for further development. I wish I could have a long conversation with you because you could sure give me a lot more advice on these issues than I can give you! My field is the professionalism and if you read a bit of my working methods tend increasingly to the periodization tactics in these areas (tacticians) are the primary training base. However, although always privilege the cognitive and decision-making (global approach) in the formation of player I think there are stages in the same accent suggesting and developing the conditional aspects (physical training) to thus obtain the maximum potential and better complement the technical and tactical aspects.

  8. ALBERT THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE. We are honored to exchange knowledge and experience. Hopefully we can chat on our mail. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS THE UNIFIED PROCESS THAT IF THERE FROM THE CATEGORIES OF BASE TO TOP OF THE PYRAMID OF PROFESSIONALISM. PROCESS MUST BE A long-term integrity, and I suppose in constant communication with your team. IF HE APPLIED METHODOLOGY FOR DEEP PLAYER UPDATE THIS FULLY PREPARED WITH SUPPORT FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM FOOTBALL GET THE ELITE. I SUPPOSE YOU WHY WILL NOT ABOUT SOME COORDINATION? I HOPE WE CAN TALK MORE DEEPLY AND ONE DAY HAVE YOU GIVE THAT SOME FORUMS FOR LATIN AMERICA ON SOCCER TRAINING AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ELITE SOCCER. I BELIEVE OUR WORK IS KEY TO BE QUARRY (I BELIEVE YOU DID THAT WORK IN EXCELLENT SHAPE IN THE BOAT) AND CLUB capitalize.

    Hello Albert Roca

    First, congratulations on what you have achieved and're getting as coach. It is the second time I read your paper on "the process of training in football" and the truth is that I find very good.

    I graduated from the quasi-FCAFD, I've been making practices in a team of 2 º B and am now a National Youth. My goal is to reach the top, always with honesty and humility, both lacking in our profession.

    Struck me that you are a specialist in sports psychology and included in the objectives of microcycle socio-emotional, volitional and creative-expressive, and I'm very interested in it and I would follow your steps in this direction.

    Is it possible to do proper planning taking into account these aspects to achieve a specific goal? Can you measure the lack of these issues or the need to reinforce them and include them in technical and tactical tasks as planned?

    In the integrated methodology based parts of the former is the technique and tactics and this is fed by the conditional capacities and psychological skills and vision.
    I in my eagerness to integrate psychology in football, I usually say that there are 4 major intrinsic aspects: technical, tactical, physical and psychological. Am I wrong?
    Does the visual ability is not a conditional capacity directly influences the speed of the game?

    Finally, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I think in this life to receive, give, and more if it is altruistic.

    Good luck for Saturday and accompanying results!

    Hi Albert.

    Before comentarte my situation, congratulate you. I hope that someday, with effort and work, get the 1 / 8 of what you've got.
    I talk to you about that trainer in the young category. The question that I found as a PF in a category so low I do not like, because at this age do not require it, but I need to pracicas for faculty. The point is that at this age they require much ball, that is, technical-tactical and above individual and collective, coordinated, and work-specific strength and endurance. I'm trying to do with them once a week a coordinative work for example with the ladder. For me, I think this kind of work is ideal at this age (11-12 years), but what kind of progression could go on throughout the season. Tell yourself you only have 2 days a week and coordinative work I usually do in the 30 'early warming on Tuesday, then make individual technical skill, technique and match to end collective and Tuesday I like warm-ups, individual technical skill as conduits, passing, dribbling, then continue with collective technical, some tactical and match.
    I would like to correct He also recommended as this raised or planning at these ages.

    Thank you very much and best regards.

  12. Albert says:

    Hello Jose Maria

    First of all tell you that I value the people in the grassroots. My best memories I have of a team of children (la Peña Blaugrana de Sants) ... we all started there!

    I'll be honest ... I think that only having two days of training you should focus almost "exclusively" in the game. The overall methodology is one that should prevail in every session you do. I suggest you read books by Horst Wein and Sans / Fratarolla (his book is titled "football training base" Paidotribo I think ...) because of them you will learn a lot!

    I must admit that I made many mistakes in that time, performing workouts too analytical and "wasting" time in physical and technical exercises whose value was questionable ... We must return to the game of street football where the child is playing match after game, hours and hours ... it's the only way not to hinder their development!

    Hello Albert

    I am writing from Uruguay and I tell you that less than a year that I graduated and I'm starting my second year as trainer of the 4th and 5th division of a team of my country. I'm putting the preseason and raises several questions for me that I write. The main difficulty I find is that I have almost 60 players and I have no partner to carry out the training. How do you think should work to achieve maximum performance of the two campuses? The other question is whether you got a test you preferred to control the players' aerobic capacity. Thank you very much for the opportunity to write and hopefully you can answer. Embrace

  14. Albert says:

    Hello Diego

    The truth is that you have a challenge ahead as train with so many players should not be easy! It is clear that the planning and organization will be key to the smooth running of the sessions. I do not know what methodology you use but if you follow a traditional type of physical training I would be inclined to employ a style of "Task Assignment" where players could divide into groups and they knew beforehand all the work to be done. The "circuits" are also a clear example to have good control but employees should keep in mind the purpose for which they are addressed and the time of the season, ie the beginning you can make circuits to improve the resistance to the Force (also called strength-endurance) without the ball and then gradually add the technical component exercises to increase motivation. It would also be desirable that such exercises were dynamic and wide range of movements (jumping, torn, changes of direction and meaning, etc). You can add, as I assume you already do, some alternative exercise bosu balance (the misnamed proprioception) to improve and prevent muscle injuries and / or joints.
