Tactical Mentoring FAQ's

Does Football Coach Pro clash with the tactics at the club ?

No. In our coaching sessions we always ask the player what the coach wants to see from
him in the specific situation we are discussing at that moment. Usually, the player
knows exactly what is expected from him by the coach. Using this information, we
work together to find the optimal way to execute the action that is needed in that
situation.
It can happen that a player doesn't know exactly what the coach wants from him in a
certain situation. In that case, a player can either use our clips to ask the coach what is
expected of him, or we can find the optimal choice and execution in that situation by
using our extensive database of example videos.

What does a coaching session looks like ?
In a coaching session we video-call with the player. The player usually calls with his
phone, and has a second screen (laptop, tablet or other phone) to watch the clips. We
share the clips with the player. Make sure the shared video is available offline, for the best image quality.
During the session we discuss a few Game Actions with the player, usually two or three.
For each Game Action, we normally discuss around eight to ten clips, where a certain
aspect of the Game Action is highlighted (ie. body orientation, position or scanning).
By asking concise, open questions with every clip, we make players aware of the
influence of their actions. Together, we will come to new insights and provide tools to
get even better at those Game Actions in the next match.

Do you visit the players you work with to do the coaching sessions ?

Sometimes, but usually we do the coaching sessions with a video-call. We would love to
visit all our players every week. For that we have the Platinum "Customizable" plan,
and our team can adapt a package that meet your needs.

We also believe that there is a benefit to doing the sessions online. Because the player is in control of his videos, watching on his own screen, he's quite literally taking charge of his own development!

How do you measure progress?

We think the most important part of the process is that the player notices his own development, through analyzing his own actions on the pitch. We regularly ask players about the differences in their behavior and consciousness compared to earlier games. This way, players get to see their individual development with their own eyes.

In addition to that, we also monitor players' statistics and our own tactical performance reports, with which we can objectively map every player's individual development.

How quickly can I expect improvement?

That's up to you! We will do everything we can to give you the tools that you need to
improve yourself. How quickly you apply these tools, is up to you.

Do you analyse every game of the players you work with ?

That depends the mentoring you choose. With most of the players we work with we have an agreement
that we analyse every game wherein they play 60 minutes or more. But with some players we
have different arrangement, for example that after every two games, the player decides which
of the two he would want to analyse. The player decides!

Which game actions do you discuss with the players you work with ?

That also depends on the player. Generally, we use the first session to establish which
Game Actions are most relevant for the player. This depends (among other things) on
his playing position, the team tactics, and the personal qualities and preferences of the
player. Some players prefer to start working on their defensive actions first, while others
prefer to start with their attacking skills.Further along in the process we discuss with the player to decide what we are going to work on next

.
What does the process with a player look like?

Even though it can differ between players, the process almost always has the following
four components:

•  Analyze: We code and analyze the actions of the player's last game. In this

analysis we assess the choice and execution of each action.

•  Reflect: Together with the player, we plan a coaching session before his next

match. In this session we discuss a certain amount of Game Actions, where we
make the player aware of the impact of his actions on the game through specific
questions.

•  Prepare: Based on the session, we make a pre-match video, in which we

highlight the most important topics that we discussed. By watching this video
before his game, the player can focus on making an impact.

• Perform: Match time. In the match, the player can apply the things he has

learned on his game, to keep improving his performance.
This process repeats after every game.

How many game actions do you work on in a coaching session ?

At the start of the process we usually discuss two Game Actions: one defensive action,
and one attacking action. We believe that this allows the player to easily focus on these
two aspects of his game, and get results quickly and sustainably.
As the process progresses, we can always adjust the amount of Game Actions we
discuss in a session based on the tactical level and personal preferences of the player.
With our Focus-session, we only discuss one Game Action per session. In these sessions
we purely focus on one aspect of the player's game, to get even quicker results.

How long do you work on a certain Game Action with a player ?

That entirely depends on how quickly the player becomes aware of the Game Action
and applies the insights from the sessions in his game. Also, some Game Actions are
more difficult to recognize and improve than others.
During the coaching process we will find out which Game Actions are the most
valuable ones to analyze and work on for the player. Together, we will set goals and
decide when it's time to shift focus to new Game Actions.

Do you also work with amateurs and youth players?
Yes, we work with every player that wants to work with us.  

It does help enormously if you have video footage of your own matches, because we believe that you learn fastest
when you're analyzing your own actions. If you don't have footage of your own performances, there are also possibilities of analyzing clips of how elite players perform certain Game Actions, or specific players you look up to and want to learn from. We are also working on developing online courses, so that every football player can learn more about individual tactics. In these courses we discuss certain Game Actions, using examples from some of the best players in the world.

Mental Mentoring FAQ's

What does a coaching session looks like ?

The sessions focus on the athlete's day-to-day life. The topics discussed emerge from daily
experiences and the coach will guide and help the athlete to solve problems, optimize details
or provide tools that enhance the athlete's daily development, whether in sport or in other
areas of their life.

Do you visit the players you work with to do the coaching sessions ?

How do you measure progress?

We think the most important part of the process is that the player notices his own
development, through analyzing his own actions on the pitch and/or in general life. We
regularly ask players about the differences in their behavior and consciousness compared to
earlier moments.

How quickly can I expect improvement?
That's up to you! We will do everything we can to give you the tools that you need to
improve yourself. How quickly you apply these tools, is up to you.
When we talk about mental aspects, the "door of change" opens from the inside. The greater
the investment in this work and the confidence in the coach, the greater the progress.

Do you also work with amateurs and youth players?

Yes, we work with every player that wants to work with us.
