Another form of physical preparation

Tactical periodization. Recovery will not last long with its traditional physical preparation at the beginning of the season. Very often we assimilate it with a lot of empty work, but it is the right and unique formula. For the usual customers of the site you know my point of view and you know that not. The integrated work, therefore with the ball, allows you to work physically more consistent with the football activity. Today I am talking about a third point of view: Tactical periodization.

Football activities

The footballer is not just a boy who hits a ball. This has a more complicated activity than that. He must constantly find his way in space, know where his teammates are located, what their movements will be, he must move and position himself accordingly, he must use the surface of the right foot when he receives his ball, knowing how to guide his body, know what he will do with the ball. If we add the fact that he will have to anticipate the positioning and intervention of his opponent, but also to resist physical shocks … For 90 minutes the player must constantly repeat himself on a field in which he is completely free to move

Two ways to face physical preparation

Conventionally physical preparation consisted of terrestrial towers, straight sprints, resistance exercises, training circuits etc. Etc … all without balloon to quantify, regular, measure. This is the analytical method, but this is to forget everything that football contains and summarize the footballer has a perfect runner on foot.

Another method exists is the integrated physical preparation in which under the pretext of the year with the ball (well chosen) the player will be brought to make very specific efforts with the ball. Everything is always well quantified and each exercise has a specific goal. (speed, strength, ability work, etc.)

Tactical periodization

In the tactical periodization, let’s start from the principle according to which football cannot segment and its components are kept in boxes: physics, tactical, technical, psychology etc. They are the same block that should be developed simultaneously.

Quite simply: to improve football games in football.

But not nothing giving a ball to 22 players and letting them manage. The exercises, situations or games offered must comply with situations or games of games that can be encountered on weekends and must be resolved. What must be the key is the game philosophy chosen for his team. For example, the time to trigger pressure, the positioning of the team block, the behavior to be adopted and the trips to be made during the transition, etc. is due to several criteria.

The interest of this method lies in the fact that the players will be constantly involved by a real game using exercises that will help them solve the problems they will encounter in the game. Thus all the clean quality of a footballer develop at the same time. The body will obviously develop at the same level as the other qualities as the player. To do this, you must have the concern to set your sessions by choosing exercises that offer maximum closed or almost identical intensity to the one encountered in correspondence. They must obviously have the aim of convincing players to understand what you want with your team in specific situations.

Conclusion

The tactical periodization allows to group all the specific components for the development of the footballer in the same session. It is intended to be a global method that aims at the imposition of a tactical system for its team. This allows you to give a soul to your team simultaneously with these players adhere. The key will be a strong team in all areas and know the game principles by heart. However, it supports an excellent knowledge of what you want to do in terms of game, an excellent imagination in creating your sessions, as well as an excellent vision and understanding of the game.
