🧠 What are we really preparing when we train a football player?

For decades, football training has often treated physical capacities as something that can be developed separately and later transferred into the Game.

Tactical Periodisation® challenges that logic.

The player does not run first, perceive later and decide afterwards. In the Game, these dimensions emerge together — shaped by context, relationships and a shared Game Idea.

That changes the way we think about intensity, anticipation and physical preparation.

⚽ Not running for the sake of running.
🧠 Not reacting without references.
🎯 Not preparing the body separately from the Game.

Training should create the conditions for players to perceive earlier, anticipate possibilities, decide and act within the unpredictable nature of football.

Because the objective is not to prepare the player for something outside the Game.

The Game is the preparation.

🎓 Visão 611: A Case Study on Talent Development in Football

How is talent truly identified, nurtured and prepared for the highest level?

At the beginning of the 21st century, FC Porto launched Visão 611 — a profound transformation of its youth structure that became a school of ideas and experiences in Portuguese football development.

This Short Course revisits that journey to explore the development of talent within the complexity of the Game — from youth football to the demands of the first team.

Featuring contributions from:

Vítor Frade
Luís Castro
Pepijn Lijnders
Sérgio Ferreira
Carlos Campos
Rui Sá Lemos
Rui Pedro Pacheco

Throughout the course, different perspectives connect methodology, practice and real football contexts, exploring key topics such as:

⚽ Identifying and nurturing talent
🧠 The role of competition within training
🗣️ Adapting communication to different age groups
🎯 Balancing Game Model and strategy in youth football
🎥 Using video and tactical boards as pedagogical tools

A unique opportunity to understand the ideas and processes behind the development of players such as Diogo Costa, Vitinha, Fábio Vieira and Diogo Dalot.

Because developing talent is not about accumulating isolated skills.

It is about creating the conditions for players to evolve within the logic of the Game.

🎥 Short Course | 326 minutes

📊 More Data Doesn’t Always Mean Better Understanding

GPS data can tell us how far a player ran, how fast they moved or how intense their effort was.

But numbers alone cannot explain the Game.

Before interpreting physical performance, we need to ask:

⚽ What were we trying to achieve in our team’s Game?
🧠 Why did this player produce these numbers?
🔄 Where are we in the performance–fatigue–recovery relationship?

Because the same number can mean different things for different players, moments and contexts.

The challenge is not simply to measure more.

It is to connect context + team + player + data and understand what the numbers actually mean within the Game.

"The Missing Link in Hamstring Injuries: The Brain"

What if preventing hamstring injuries is not only about muscles… but also about the brain?

In this thought-provoking article, Jurdan Mendiguchia explores the relationship between neuroscience, decision-making and one of the most common injuries in elite football.

The article challenges traditional perspectives by suggesting that injury prevention should also consider how players perceive, process and respond to the demands of the Game.

A valuable read for coaches, performance staff, physiotherapists and anyone interested in understanding football through a more integrated perspective.

🎙️ PT Coaches: The Road In | Vasco Seabra

He stopped playing at 18. But he never left football.

In this new chapter of PT Coaches: The Road In, we explore the journey of Vasco Seabra and the experiences that shaped him long before becoming a Head Coach.

His path began at Paços de Ferreira, where he spent eleven years developing within the club’s youth structure and gradually preparing himself to guide others.

Along the way, academic education, different technical roles and the experience of working as an assistant coach contributed to the construction of his own perspective on the Game and on coaching.

A journey that reminds us that becoming a Head Coach rarely begins with the first opportunity to lead a team.

It begins years earlier — through learning, observation, experience and preparation.

🎓 How Does a Coach Get Trained? | Bruno Oliveira

What experiences shape the way a coach thinks about the Game?

Bruno Oliveira reflects on an international journey that began with an early inspiration: Sven-Göran Eriksson.

His admiration for the Swedish coach led him to study in Italy, where he had the opportunity to undertake an internship at SS Lazio between 1999 and 2001, during one of the club’s most successful periods, alongside Eriksson and Fernando Couto.

On returning to Portugal, another decisive chapter followed.

Bruno Oliveira wrote his thesis under the direct supervision of Professor Vítor Frade at the University of Porto, achieving the maximum grade of 20/20 — the first time such a mark had been awarded at the institution.

From inspiration to experience.
From experience to study.
From study to a deeper understanding of the Game.

Because becoming a coach is not defined by a single course or moment.

It is a journey shaped by the people, contexts and ideas that challenge the way we think about football.

Inside a Coaching Group

What happens when coaches stop looking for ready-made answers and start questioning the Game together?

This excerpt offers a glimpse into a Coaching Group — a space for discussion, reflection and confrontation of ideas, where knowledge is brought into different football contexts.

There are no recipes to reproduce.

Instead, each question becomes an opportunity to rethink concepts, share experiences and develop a more coherent understanding of intervention.

💬 Different perspectives.
⚽ Different contexts.
🧠 One shared purpose: to think the Game more deeply.

🎙️ PT Coaches: The Road In | Sérgio Ferreira

What happens before a coach becomes a Head Coach?

In our new series, PT Coaches: The Road In, we look beyond the moment of arrival to explore the experiences, influences and decisions that shape a coaching journey.

We begin with Sérgio Ferreira, who became Head Coach for the first time in 2026 — after a path that started many years earlier.

From his education in Porto and his connection to the University of Porto, to years of learning as an assistant coach alongside Carlos Carvalhal across Portugal, England, the United Arab Emirates and Greece, each experience contributed to the coach he is today.

Because becoming a Head Coach is rarely about one opportunity.

It is about everything that prepares you for it.
