I’d
have been able to choose different titles and topics through the use
of present material, together with definitions and considerations
extracted from didactical texts about football technical-tactical
training’s methodology. Instead of that, I preferred to choose
this topic which actually represents my way of looking at and
interpreting football, in order to give my personal contribution to
its present and future development ...

| PHYSICAL
TRAINING – which kind of athlete is the football player? |
|
|
He is certainly a
complete athlete who isn’t the best at any physical quality. The
balance among physical qualities, such as strenght, speed,
resistance and articulation, is the football player’s main feature.
This characteristic doesn’t represent a limit. Many sport
employees often tell that “if athletes as Ben Johnson had played
football, they would have been brilliant forwards or very strong
externals and if they had been defenders, no opponent would have
been able to escape from their scoring”. I don’t agree; a world
famous sprinter would be surely a very quick player but I don’t
know in which team or category would have been able to play. Since
he was trained to run so fast, ha wouldn’t probably have had the
necessary resistance to face the whole match. A player’s qualities
are like a blanket. The parents give the textile quality and the
fibre’s elasticity. The technical working must be aimed to enlarge
the blanket in order to let the player be always protected, while
pulling the 4 sides constantly and carefully not to ruin the fibres.
Why do I feel this consideration? I tested about 500 players in A,B
and C championships, I followed at least for one year 250 players
but only few of them were followed for some years in a row. One of
the footballer’s training’s features is the discontinuity in
following programs of specific and personal training, because they
often change their society and some of them who manage to play in
the same one for 3-4 years often work with 2-3 different coaches. In
my career I’ve noticed that the footballer’s physical personal
qualities get balanced after the age of 22-23 and then change of
about 5% during the championship, especially for the athletes who
constantly play. The same happens to the players who play less but
train constantly, while in the case of injured players, or players
limited in training due to physical desease, the personal qualities
change more sensibly (15-20%). Unfortunately, the playing accidents
are and will always be, but the “agonistic health” must never be
missing, and that’s the feature which I’ve always worked on.
A
FOOTBALLER’S TRAINING DOESN’T HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE TOP
DEVELOPMENT OF ONE PHYSICAL QUALITY, BUT FOR THE PHYSICAL FIT
TOGETHER WITH THE CORRECT BALANCE BETWEEN PARTICULAR AND PERSONAL
FEATURES. THAT’S WHY THE START POINT MUST BE THE VALUATION OF HIS
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS THROUGH ATHLETIC TESTS AND THEN IT’S
NECESSARY TO DEFINE THE PROGRAM AND THE PERSONAL WORKING. WE HAVE TO
WORK ON 22-28 DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS TO BUILD A “TEAM UNIT” AND
NOT ONLY ON THE TEAM TO FORM PLAYERS. THE TRAINING MUST BE AS
INDIVIDUAL AS COLLECTIVE, BECAUSE THE TEAM’S PLAYING FEATURES RISE
ONLY FROM THE DIFFERENT FOOTBALLERS’ QUALITIES. |
