High-Performance Football
Training to compete on the world's biggest stages requires more than repeating exercises or mastering classic models. It requires understanding the game as a living, complex, and adaptive system. This book dives into the heart of high-performance football and shows how training becomes the engine of player and team development.
Drawing on exclusive interviews with some of the most influential coaches and experts — Alexandre Silva, Bruno Lage, Carlos Carvalhal, Carlos Pinto, Francisco Neto, Ilídio Vale, José Peseiro, Nelson Veríssimo, Paulo Bento, Pedro Caixinha, Pedro Machado, Vítor Oliveira and Vítor Pereira — these pages reveal how performance is thought about, decided, and built at the highest level.
With scientific depth, examples, and criteria for creating complex tasks based on coherent, representative, and specific interaction between players, this work offers an up-to-date and demanding insight into what it means to train to play in high-pressure environments, from youth development to the UEFA Champions League.
Written by Álvaro Fortunato Vaz, a high-performance specialist and researcher in Sports and Health Sciences, this is an indispensable tool for coaches, analysts, coordinators, and anyone seeking to understand football beneath the surface.
