The aim of this module is to provide the student with the necessary skills to build the training process, taking into account the conditional needs of the team based on the FC Barcelona game model and facilitating optimization of the different structures of the player thanks to the application of proposals and emerging scientific knowledge.

1. Planning models in football : where we come from and where we are going
   • Theoretical organizational models based on the needs of the game and the player.
2. The conditioning training at FC Barcelona from a holistic perspective
   • Basics of the theory of complex dynamic systems aimed at physical preparation.
   • Conditional equipment needs depending on the game model.
3. Design of the Structured Microcycle
   • What is the Structured Microcycle ?
   • Phases of the Structured Microcycle.
   • Weekly organization of training content.
   • Intercommunication of the sessions based on the day of the match.
4. Situation s Preferential Simulators (SSP)
   • What are SSPs and how do we understand them from a conditional point of view?
   • Variables that affect the requirement of the SSP.
   • Construction of SSP based on the needs proposed by the trainer.
   • Design of tasks aimed at player, player or team coordination.
5. Evaluation and control of load in optimizing training and competition
   • Proposals that address physical variables.
   • Payload rating options based on specificity and tactical dimension.

The objectives of this module are the study and understanding of the game by observing the collective patterns of organization, identifying the main collective behaviors of high performance teams based on different structures and the interaction and interrelationship of players in the emergence of different patterns.

1. The collective structure of organization
   • Organizational structure.
   • Structures built for position play.
   • Structures built for vertical game proposals.
2. functionality
   • Game situations in the preparation phase: game starts.
   • Compensatory movements.
   • Organization of the recovery phase.
   • Examples of performance models and training in professional teams.
   • The integration of the goalkeeper in a game idea.

In this module, the role of pedagogy in football skills training will be discussed, both for players in the early stages of training, and for players in the performance phase who need to continue to acquire tools to adapt to the game context.

1. Competency model of teaching. What do we teach? what do we learn
   • Difference between Teaching model / Learning model.
   • Concept Model / Optimization Guide.
   • Vertebration of the game’s own idea.
2. Consistency in the periodization and sequencing of contents based on the principle of individualization. When do we teach? When do we learn? How do we organize ourselves?
   • Periodization
   • Timing (principle of individualization).
   • session pattern
   • Tools for timing preference.
   • Comprehensive learning objectives, optimization indicators and their monitoring.
3. Pedagogical intervention of the technician-trainer. How do we teach? How do we learn?
   • Procedural strategies.
   • Didactic strategies.
   • Cooperative learning experiences and active pedagogy.
   • Selection of the trainer’s profile.
   • Analysis of the pedagogical intervention of the technician (qualitative analysis of the slogans and reflection guidelines).
4. Treatment of the coordinative structure. How do we contextualize motor action?
   • Comprehensive design of the coordinative structure.
   • Coordinative facilitating actions.
   • Coordinative chains.
   • Didactic application of the motor action continuum.
5. Treatment of the cognitive structure. How do we decide?
   • Cognitive affect of constraints.
   • Emotional labor experiences (relationship between SPD and emotions).
   • Strategies for optimizing the player’s autonomous behavior (self-management).
   • Organization of the decision-making system based on the development of collective communication and relationship tools. The relationship and communication within the team.
   • Values ​​in training.
   • Identification of collective behaviors based on game stimuli and events.
   • Game situations (relationship with the coordinative structure).

In this last module, the master’s degree will give an updated view of two essential topics in modern football. First of all, one of the objectives will be to show the student real experiences of how to manage a dressing room and all the members that make it up. Second, it will showcase the most up-to-date resources that exist to try to get the most out of players based on information from the pro teams’ scouting and analytics departments.
