Synopsis

Complexity sciences provide a new theoretical background to study football, going beyond the traditional statement which has guided many training courses during decades: "This is how things have always being done in football" (as if there were no possible alternatives). The paradigm shift presented in this book allows a deeper understanding of the physical (movements), technical (actions) and tactical (interactions) components of the game. Francisco (Paco) Seirul·lo and Vítor Frade have to be considered among the greatest influencers and ambassadors of this new training approach, setting the foundations to optimize the function of the football in his specific performance scenario: football. They both concurred that the classical approximation to study team sports based on individual sports did not satisfy the singularity of football and, thus, investigated for new strategies. Not only have Seirul·lo (Structured Training) and Frade (Tactical Periodization) supported their methodologies in a profound theoretical background, but also have contrasted their postulates in top-class football scenarios, which have enriched the quality of their proposals.
