Bibliographic Details
Summary:Football is constantly evolving and, therefore, the demands on sports professionals are increasingly higher. The team's individual and collective performance is the result of countless factors, with various associated areas, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and multifaceted coaching team, capable of addressing all the challenges within the context. The internship is the ideal time to apply all the knowledge acquired throughout my academic education, combining theory with practice. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn from outstanding professionals, discussing and debating ideas in favour of a common good. The process of reflection is also an important component of this report, always seeking to question events and the way they are approached, in order to prepare myself for a better response to problems that may arise in the future. The 2023/2024 season was divided between two contexts with completely different specificities. Initially, and with the season already underway, I joined Valadares Gaia Futebol Clube, a team that competes in Campeonato de Portugal, together with the coaching staff I was part of last season, marking my first experience in senior football. Halfway through the season, and after a very troubled period due to bureaucratic issues, the need to find a new club to continue my training programme arose. So I joined the coaching staff of Sporting Clube de Espinho U-17, competing in Campeonato Nacional Sub-17 I Divisão Nacional. This report will cover various football-related topics, as well as a deep dive and critical reflection on both contexts that I experienced during this internship.
