Model and methodology

The Game Model is based on the game of position, always present in each situation, varying spaces (large, medium, small) for the control of the conditional and cognitive load.
The player is the center of the model and must be close to his specific speed.

The methodology is based on principles and sub principles of Tactical Periodization adapted to our reality and culture.
The methodological path is the specificity, understood by it when it is related to the game model that is being created and contemplating the needs of the player.
We use compensatory tasks (adapted to the specificity) necessary to improve this methodology, developing conditional capacities to enhance the individual state of the player.

The training and preparation processes cover five dimensions of training: technical, tactical, physical, mental and invisible and we have means such as:

  • Player-focused tactical technical training methodology
  • Mental toughness process focused on sports performance
  • Nutrition and medical science focused on high performance
  • Individualized training process for the five dimensions of training and preparation
  • Academy for 3 consecutive years for each player, to provide additional skills to the game based on positive psychology, such as human relationships, education in values, communication, self-control, personal communication, control of consumption including social networks, bonds and positive thinking.
  • Video analysis and information management

Each division has a head coach, a physical education professional, a physician, and a physical therapist. Likewise, he receives the advice of the sports psychologist, two nutritionists and the support of a coach per line of play (defense, midfield and attack).
