Over the next 6 months I will doing my UEFA Futsal B course in Finland where I will learning from the vastly experienced Finnish Head Coach Mico Martic and his team, whilst learning beside other candidates from across the world. I am excited to be pushing my boundaries and to be learning from different cultures.
The course covers many learning objectives including the below:
- develop the team´s performance in different phases of the game and in accordance with
the technical/tactical principles of futsal - develop individual qualities of players in different phases of the game
- develop individual physical qualities of players in accordance with the principles of
strength, speed and endurance training - understand the meaning of holistic life management for the development of an athlete
- recognize the meaning of interaction skills and the effects of different coaching styles on
the holistic development of the players and the team - develop the cooperation of the team by leading the team
- guide the players to take responsibility for their own development
- plan and implement holistic training processes on annual, periodic, weekly and training
session level, taking into consideration the starting levels of the players and the team - analyse the fruition of the plans and based on the analysis develop the training processes
- understand and follow futsal laws of the game
Coaching continues to evolve and it is important that our Academy and Teams do likewise.

- the rules of the game
