Partiendo del principio de que “lo que no se entrena no se juega” este libro presenta un entrenamiento específico para el puesto de portero. La obra trata desde los aspectos psicológicos hasta las aptitudes, actitudes y gestos técnicos que se deben trabajar en el entrenamiento de los porteros de fútbol base. Se presentan 200 ejercicios prácticos con gráficos explicativos que se han agrupado según los aspectos que más se ejercitan en ellos: calentamiento, abdominales y estiramientos, velocidad, potenciación del salto, salidas, acciones ofensivas, lanzamientos a puerta. También se dedica un capítulo a ejercicios combinados que hacen ejercitar al portero varias destrezas simultáneamente, y otro a ejercicios con el resto del equipo. Aitor Ares Ikaran. Pedagogo.

Science and Football V presents the edited papers from the Fifth World Congress on Science and Football that took place in Portugal in April 2003. The collection represents the latest scientific research into the variety of sports known as football such as association football; rugby codes (Union and League); national codes (American, Australian and Gaelic). A recurring theme for this series of conferences has been a commitment to bridge the gaps between theory and practice in the service of the promotion of high quality applied football science. The book is clearly structured into nine parts and focuses on the following key issues: introductory keynote address biomechanics and mechanics fitness test profiling of footballers performance and match analysis football medicine football training paediatric exercise science physiology and nutrition behavioural and social sciences. This collection provides valuable information for coaches, players, trainers, managers, medical and support staff, and scientific workers concerned with the range of football codes.

Filling an important gap in performance analysis literature, this book introduces the key concepts and practical applications of performance analysis for team sports. It draws on cutting-edge research to examine individual and collective behaviours across an array of international team sports. Evidencing the close relationship between coaching and performance analysis, it promotes a better understanding of the crucial role of performance analysis in team sports for achieving successful results. This book not only presents a variety of different ways to analyse performance in team sports, but also demonstrates how scientific data can be used to enrich performance analysis. Part one delineates the main guidelines for research in performance analysis, discussing the characteristics of team sports, coaching processes, variables characterizing performance and methods for team member interaction analysis. Part two drills down into performance analysis across a range of team sports including soccer, basketball, handball, ice hockey, volleyball and rugby. Performance Analysis in Team Sports is an essential companion for any course or research project on sports performance analysis or sports coaching, and an invaluable reference for professional analysts.

Originally developed by Vitor Frade, at the University of Porto, Tactical Periodization is a methodology - popularized by coaches such as Jose Mourinho and Andre Villas Boas - that trains soccer players through a logical process that focuses on four moments of the game. These four moments are: Offensive Organisation, the Transition from Defence to Attack, Defensive Organisation, and the Transition from Attack to Defence. Through Tactical Periodization, the aim is to develop players to rapidly alter their on-field behaviours according to the tactical context of the match, and what actually unfolds in front of them. In turn, every training exercise focuses on at least one of the four moments, and always the coach's tactical game model of how he wants his team to play. In doing so, football players prepare and learn how best to conquer the often unpredictable matches that they encounter competitively. This book is the English language translation of the acclaimed book Periodizacion Tactica by world-renowned coach and sports science specialist Xavier Tamarit. *Important Note: What is Tactical Periodization is the translation of an academic book that examines Tactical Periodization's underlying philosophies, methodologies, and application. It covers areas such as systemic thinking, football as a complex phenomenon, and how the 'sum is greater than its parts'; it does not contain practical how-tos or drills. Candidly, it is not an 'easy' book to read, and requires a certain level of effort and concentration by the reader. However, for those who stick with it, the book provides a rewarding and high value resource for the modern football coach who wishes to understand exactly how Tactical Periodization developed, what it means for the sport, and how it can influence his or her coaching. Summary sections have been added to each original chapter to offer additional insight."

Este libro establece un patrón de conductas técnicas para ser aplicado en el desarrollo de los contenidos técnicos del entrenamiento del portero. Cada parte del libro se dedica a uno de los fundamentos técnicos del portero, desgranando y detallando al máximo las características de cada gesto o acción: defensivos previos, defensivos de recuperación del balón, defensivos de no recuperación del balón, ofensivos e inespecíficos (control, conducción, pase, despeje, cobertura y regate). Se añade, además, una secuencia fotográfica de cada uno de ellos, acompañada por un análisis técnico de su ejecución; estas secuencias se componen de nueve fotografías realizadas desde una perspectiva frontal y otras nueve desde una lateral.

Los gestos ofensivos tanto desde parado como en movimiento con la mano o con el pie, representan el 70% del total de los gestos. Los efectos del pase hacia atrás con el pie, en que no puede cogerse el balón con las manos, se han sumado a la regla de obligación del portero de soltar el balón a los cinco segundos de tenerlo en las manos. O sea, el portero no sólo debe saber sacar correctamente, sino que debe hacerlo rápido. Por lo tanto, es esencial que los porteros dediquen tiempo suficiente al trabajo y al perfeccionamiento de los gestos del saque. Este libro, fruto de 23 años de experiencia del autor, es la recopilación de 150 ejercicios y juegos específicos que engloban todos los movimientos fundamentales, basados en la competición entre dos o más porteros. Este manual, ilustrado con esquemas que permiten una perfecta visualización de las situaciones de entrenamiento, está dirigido a todos los entrenadores, educadores o porteros de fútbol.
