Along the years, football, as a sport of interaction through cooperation-opposition between members of
the teams in a shared space, has evolved based on the different changes and modifications that it has
undergone, with regard to the game dynamics, as well as the use and understanding of the sciences that
different agents, especially coaches, have relied on to support the actions aimed at optimising the game
and its players. It was initially based on the application of general training theories, supported by the
traditional sciences (mechanistic, behavioural, etc.), for training plans originating from individual sports.
Over time, each and every one of them has been put into practice, including several analyses, records,
interpretations and research. Nevertheless, even though these sciences did not explain phenomena such
as the emergence of properties, dynamic interaction or the non-existence of cause-effect, the athlete was
""forced"" to adapt to game contexts and scenarios, not only related to the technical and tactical needs of
the game, but also to the way of learning and interpreting (training) it.
Based on what was previously mentioned, throughout the programme, it is proposed to enquire into a
new perspective regarding the approach to the developmental processes of athletes immersed in football,
which include theories that are based on current sciences (complex dynamic systems, ecological theory,
etc.), which have proven to be interesting when creating new training plans. In this aspect, they adjust to
the individual (intrapersonal dynamics) and collective (interpersonal dynamics) coordinative needs, giving
the coach the possibility of incorporating pedagogical tools in search of awakening the player's curiosity
and interest in the game. Besides, it will allow for optimising their learning and development, generating
multilevel synergies (player-team and/or team-player) (Ric, 2017), where the tasks to be solved emerge
from the environment and the interaction of the players.
In conclusion, along the course the participant will find an evolution of the learning process theories,
emphasising the coach-player relationship, understood not as a unidirectional training and from teacher to
student, but as a two-way exchange where both of them interact and agree on intentions and focuses on
the practice. This exchange goes from feedback to the planning of specific, massive, variable and
continuous Preferential Simulation Situations, by the use of constraints.

LEARN TO
Understand the practice and competition system as a whole, in order to integrate all
the elements and factors that intervene in the process.
As coaches, become self-aware of the information we have in our practice and
competition environment, in order to optimise our pedagogical exchange.
Know the optimal conditions of the learning environment in order to optimise the
player.
Use video feedback in practice settings as an indispensable resource for motor
learning and to develop self-awareness.

PROGRAM
COURSE 1: Pedagogical Exchange with the Player: The Role of the
Coach-Trainer in the Learning Process
MODULE 1.
Critical Thinking and Methodological Context Where do we come from and where are we going?
Understand what is the ultimate goal of the methodology and how to integrate all the existing
elements in the learning context.
MODULE 2.
The Coach's Learning Why do the coaches see what they see? Understand how their behaviours
emerge and how to get in tune with the team's context.
MODULE 3.
Coach-Player Interaction How to optimise the exchange of information and have a greater
impact on the learning process? Understand the environmental conditions through which the
player’s naturalised behaviours are facilitated and generated.
MODULE 4.
Pedagogical Exchange with the Player. Learning Strategies and Atmosphere.
COURSE 2: Pedagogical exchange with the player: video feedback in the
continuum of motor practice
MODULE 1.
Observational learning how to give feedback? Understand what differential aspects are added in the coach's
work when combining visual feedback with physical practice.
MODULE 2.
Training practices. Where to give the feedback? Pay attention as a coach to the resulting effect on the player
of the relationship between the practice context and the intervention style.
MODULE 3.
Exchange with the player through observational learning. Anticipate and concrete multimodal extrinsic
information to enhance the motor learning process.
MODULE 4.
