Tell me when it opens →You know what you want your team to do. You can describe your game model. But on Monday you have 90 minutes, a squad that changes every week and half a pitch, and the model stays in a file you have not opened since pre-season.
The problem is not knowledge. It is method: the distance between the idea and the session, repeated every week, with the players you actually have.
On one page, with behavioural indicators.
A week that works with 5, 3 or 2 sessions.
Exercises that carry your principles, reviewed by your peers.
A full week planned against a real opponent.
A plan for a new club, league or country.
Ready to show a club, a director or an employer.
Eight live sessions of two hours, recorded for 90 days. Each session has a framework, a second point of view from the other coach, and a workshop on your own work. Dates will be announced with the opening of registration.
A working definition, the four moments of the game, principles and sub-principles. The model as dogma versus a dynamic reference, and a critical look at two real models.
How club DNA, players, level and resources shape the model. The same principle in different leagues, a decision framework, and a hot seat on two participants’ models.
Specificity, progression of complexity and alternation of loads, with Verheijen, Issurin and Buchheit as references and Seirul·lo and Frade as vocabulary bridges. The same week with 5, 3 and 2 sessions.
The variables you control: space, time, players and provocation rules. From what the game asks to what the exercise must contain. An autopsy of three common exercises, then three of your own, peer reviewed.
Two sessions a week, a rotating squad, tournament weekends and a shared pitch. Six anonymised real scenarios: elite academy, high school and college, amateur, and a club abroad.
A full week built around a real opponent: analysis, priorities, training. Keeping the model coherent while preparing the match, and managing tactical, physical and emotional load.
Arriving in a new country, league and dressing room without losing the model. Coaching in another language with a multilingual squad, the first 30 days, and cases from both coaches.
Decision-making as the core skill: judging whether training transfers to the match, adjusting the model without destroying it, and a final hot seat on the Game Model Playbooks.
You finish with 12 practical tools and the Game Model Playbook: a Sportrail PDF with your model on one page, your training week, three exercises, a week against an opponent and your decision rules. It is the document you show a club, a director or a future employer.
The hot seat. Volunteers hand in their work 48 hours before sessions 2, 5 and 8, and the faculty review two or three live. Everyone learns from each other’s cases; anyone not picked gets the recording.
8 sessions of 2 hours, each with a second point of view from the other coach.
From the Coach Context Questionnaire before the course to the Decision Framework in session 8.
Your own model, week, exercises and rules in one PDF.
Only the documents you take away are valued. Values are Sportrail’s own estimate of what each one is worth on its own, at what comparable templates and consulting material cost.
Eight live sessions at 19:00 Lisbon (20:00 Paris and Berlin, 2pm New York and Toronto, 11am Los Angeles), with recordings for 90 days and a Sportrail Certificate of Completion stating 16 hours. Registration is not open yet.
