Dear Coach,

Success on game day is directly linked to your success in training. Success in training comes from having a methodological approach that ties all your training sessions together. That way you can gain incremental improvements and players with a deeper understanding of how they’re expected to perform. This is known as the Game Model concept.

Game Models are now harnessed by top coaches all over the world to develop playing styles, rather than formations, and to build success through incremental steps. A Coach’s Guide to Tactical Periodization provides a comprehensive yet clear guide on how the Game Model concept works. More importantly, it explains how to use it to create a season long training schedule for your team.

Instead of switching from one isolated drill to another and forcing players to the point of exhaustion, A Coach’s Guide to Tactical Periodization explains how the key to success is implementing a strategic training plan that gives players a deeper understanding of what’s expected of them and raises their performance as a result.

“I’d never heard of ‘tactical periodization’ or ‘game models’ before reading this guide. Now I don’t know how I coached without them”

A Coach’s Guide to Tactical Periodization explains how to devise and coach players using a Game Model. This is an approach that combines tried and tested methods and training types together in a methodical way. This includes periods of training with intensity, rest, theory, small group sessions, large group sessions and more.

A ‘Game Model’ is created at the start of the season and takes into consideration player propensities, team culture, formation and system of play to provide a tactical approach to training. The Game Models was first developed by Professor Vitor Frade of the University of Porto, Portugal, and has since been embraced by coaches at all levels, notably among many elite coaches.

Creating a Game Model is also known as ‘tactical periodization’. Its ‘tactical’ because of the strategic approach to connecting sessions together across the season. The ‘periodization’ comes from the fact that improvements are designed to be incremental so that your chosen playing style is embedded into players in a deeper way than traditional isolated training.
