Description
As you progress through this course, you will see real life examples of scouting reports and techniques used by elite level coaches and analysts in the professional, youth and college game.
Our syllabus is designed specifically to educate coaches on the essential aspects of breaking down the opposition, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and introducing the ways in which coaches share this information with their players.
With exclusive video interviews and reading material carefully selected by professional opposition analysts and scouts, learners will also be introduced to the principles of educating players to improve pre-game preparation.
Using real life data on Major league soccer, participants will complete scouting tasks on set pieces, attacking and defensive concepts. Our unique final project asks the learner to break down a game using the knowledge and skills they have learned before submitting your task for constructive feedback from a professional opposition analyst.
