During our journey sometimes you see some kind of training with young players and you stop to think about... young players have to practice different of adults.

>> From 7 years old until about 15 we need lay enphasis in specific skills and coordenation of moviments of game (Development).
>> Later, we have enought time to improve it and learn about tactical training, acquire fitness, to train physical aspects and improve (Improvement).

After 15 years old, if you didn`t give base in technique aspects and skills now is too late to do it!

CHEAP AND EFFICIENT.



The world cup has started and the teams spend a lot of money with food, staff, transport and training, however the brazilian reality is very different. A lot of teams don`t have to much money for their season so many times is necessary improvise and above we are gonna see a little training that is very simple and very efficient.

Maybe it can seem strange however it`s a hard reality from much soccer clubs from Brazil. The Physical Coaches have to create alternatives to try fulfill their mission!

Nice, funny or dangerours?



The football is to much practiced in all of the world but sometimes could be dangerous and funny. The 32 national teams will run trying to win the South Africa World cup, but just one will survive the challenge. Some people say that Brazil is favourite, others bet in Argentina or Spain, maybe England or Italy or...why not Germany or France, so anyway I hope we have a great Word Cup with good matches and very talent.
