Football coach-Base that will work within a methodology, Philosophy Club, College Football or Sports Organization in which it operates as a coach is essential that it is identified with the work style that is intended to develop, but that does not mean the coach to be an automaton carrying out its function mechanically. In my view there are two kinds of coaches at these levels: 1) “The Coach” Officer “program that gives a written and / or audio-visual support and carried out in a disciplined but not very creative. Over time the risk of falling into the monotony and that was just generally causing a lack of enthusiasm when performing their work that often ends negatively infecting players he coaches. A type of technical part is not given to bring anything new to the learning methodology and is intended to achieve it does not generate new ideas and are not given to make innovations in their practice doing things differently even within a line defined and programmed work. 2) “The Coach” Imaginative “which operates within the” line / style you want under a particular methodology, but always bringing new ideas, improving the established and using their imagination, which no doubt also encourage the creative development of the player and the work system used. This does not mean you have to work on the fly, unlike planning is essential, but is on schedule to leave room for improvisation at a given moment (“Planned Improvisation), which often is achieved simply by applying certain alternatives to commonly established. (Not to be confused with Mitchel Resnick!). Linking to the above, this leads us to also differentiate the two sides that define the mode of teaching pedagogical approach each other.
1 – “Education assistance: It is the example of those coaches who is constantly telling the players what to do at all times. In both training and in matches. They may know much about football, even have been great players, have tremendous knowledge on the subject but when they fail to properly convey what they know, talking and talking non-stop, enjoy listening to themselves, but really are teaching?, Does the child / youth is learning? I sincerely believe that no, or at least should. Hear other arguments on the topic with Alina de Almeida. No footballer is being taught to think and that I think is important. Constantly being told what to do but not taught to seek solutions to resolve the various situations that are presented in game development.
2 – “Creative Education”: From this proposal we teach the players from small to think. That does not mean they do not tell them what to do or not to teach it, but always seeking to exercise their imagination, be creative, they are accustomed to taking progressively greater array of solutions to implement in every moment. The player is faced with the how, where, when and why has to do things. We force him to use his brain, is a mental training with practical application to the game. We try to provide tools that it learns to solve problems rather than solutions.
