Who is an Amateur and Professional Player? According to Article 2 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players ; A professional is a player who has a written contract with a club and is paid more for his footballing activity than the expenses he effectively incurs. All other players are considered AMATEURS. So, do you have a contract with any club as a professional? Do you know what the law says? #sportslaw #nff #fifa #trending

Transition half court 2-on-1: - Different cones are placed at the HC line. - Players start in a line (O1X1O2) in between two cones. O2 has a ball. - Rep starts when O1 starts running around a cone. - X1 follows the steps of O1. - O2 can’t pass in between the cones.

"Beyond Penalties: Rethinking the Decision-Making in Crucial Football Matches" Yesterday, I had the privilege of watching the clash between two giants of European football: Manchester City and Real Madrid. This match, besides being a sports spectacle fueled by many millions, was also a tactical duel between two of the best current coaches. However, despite the grandeur of this spectacle, the outcome left a bitter taste. Manchester City's elimination in penalties conveys immense disappointment, not specifically because of the failure of one of the teams, but because of the way the winner was decided after two electrifying games. The method of penalties, akin to the antiquated coin toss, seems to me a disproportionate and frankly ridiculous solution to determine the winner after such performances. I now address the regulators of this beautiful game: did you watch this knockout round? Were you satisfied with the arbitrary decision of penalties to decide a winner? I question whether it would not be fairer for the statistics of the two matches to determine which team was superior, instead of reducing everything to a lottery of penalties. The athletes, who accumulate more than 50 matches for their clubs in a season, in addition to international games and exhausting travels, deserve special respect and consideration, and should not be subjected to an extension that places them, as seen, in unnecessary physical difficulties, to end with this ridiculous solution of penalties. Yet, we continue to see decisions that seem to ignore their effort and dedication, maintaining solutions that, in my view, threaten the integrity of football. Proposing a statistics-based solution for tiebreaks would encourage coaches to prepare their teams for more offensive and spectacular football, benefiting not only the players and clubs but also the fans, who would emerge as true winners from a more vibrant and fair spectacle. Wouldn't this be the most sensible and respectful approach to the sport we love so much? Thank you for your attention and I await a change that honors the true spirit of football. https://lnkd.in/eXN_jAYG

Football speed and physical preparation. It's important a player learns to produce force and move well through a range of tasks. Learning to do this in a linear direction is key to developing speed and acceleration (a basic law of motion) and then the player has the foundation for lateral movement and agility. Arsenal academy player Hudson is making some great progress and seeing the results on the pitch. Being available for selection and injury free is always a measure of success! #football #speed #acceleration #plyometrics #speedcoaching #physcalpreparation #coordination #strenghtandconditioning #performance
