Module 1: Principles of Football Braining
What will you learn?
Traditionally, psychological knowledge is projected on to football. The consequence of this ‘outside-to-inside’ approach is the introduction of many non-contextual terminology and knowledge. As a result, many coaches struggle to apply this non-specific information in the football context.
In this Football Braining module coaches will be presented the football specific psychology concept. In particular, coaches will receive communicative tools to be more precise and to-the-point when coaching the psychological aspect in football. Delegates will get coaching references to increase the demands within football training exercises and to overload (the brain of) their players. The coaches will learn how to apply the latest brain science in football training at all levels and age groups.

In the last 10 years, Raymond Verheijen has educated thousands of coaches all around the world about the WHAT of coaching football based on the principles of Football Theory. He used the characteristics of the game as an objective reference to explain WHAT should be coached in football. During this module Raymond will present the objective and universal reference of the HOW of coaching football. He will use the principles of human evolution as an objective reference to demonstrate HOW football players should be coached as the development of a football player is a specification of how human beings have developed in general during millions of years of evolution. He will illustrate these principles with practical examples using the Wales National Team case study.
