The coaching process has been previously described as a complex concept, however, recently it has been down within simple cycles such as planning, execution, analysing & adapting.
– Zinedine Zidane
From a team sport perspective the concept known as session design within the planning stage is key to the development of both individuals & teams. Irrespective of whether you play one or two fixtures per week, the physical & psychological demands of training combined with an intensive competitive schedule are of fundamental importance when planning a training plan.
If the planning strategy is incorrect and leads to a combination of high fatigue levels & low ‘freshness’ amongst the players or athletes, it can be counter-productive not only to performance levels when it matters, but also detrimental to player health and wellbeing increasing the risk of injury.
Applying a detailed and disciplined tapering & periodisation schedule to training and competition to allow players or athletes to maximally prepare for, but also recover from the demands of the sport is paramount.
ISSPF are here to expose to you to a bespoke online soccer coaching education providing numerous online football coaching courses, & online football coaching certifications in order to boost your capability as soccer or football coaches as well as support staff.
As we know from the current climate within team sports, player fatigue is a natural and expected result of any soccer training and competition due to the length of the season & the fixture congestion periods that appear with greater success. From a team sport perspective, intensive competitive games generally lead to acute fatigue characterised through declines in physical performance, increased muscle damage & lack of mobility & strength across the 48-72 hrs period post-match.
Image: Training taper or tapering has many definitions & understandings but if you look into the concept in detail and apply it to both individual or team sports, you will see not only the sense of it from an academic perspective, but also through performance & results
Tapering was initially bought into more commonly for athletes competing in a one-off event such as an Olympic event where the build-up peaks once or twice per year.
It can also apply to individual-based sports where you can periodise and apply a taper for the main event, however, this has recently become one of the key areas in football education and research assisting in the development of top class coaching methodologies & game model progressions.
The bespoke courses developed by ISSPF Faculty members are a way of further exposing sport science students, coaching individuals working within the game & other soccer science & performance coaching enthusiasts with a thirst to develop further.
