Discover
the main chapters:
Club & academy management
This chapter provides insight into a conceptual framework that will enable you to define a Women’s Football-specific strategy to all aspects of a club or academy in order to realise long-term success. You will learn to identify clear goals and KPIs and create an optimum framework for both the development of talented players and for yourself as a leader. Create an Organisational set-up and decision-making process of the organisation in an efficient way which supports the overall ambition of the club.
Football Philosophy and Team development
A football philosophy reflects your identity as a football club or academy and has a significant influence on your envisioned identity, both on and off the pitch. This chapter provides insight into the Double Pass football model and guides you towards the development of a football philosophy of your own, using a comprehensive framework. You will also have in-depth insight into the methodology behind the development of a learning program for all-age groups that is linked to your football philosophy. The chapter will guide you through topics such as the Football Curriculum that you learn to integrate into a Periodisation plan.
Health & Performance and Individual development
In football, the primary focus is on the individual player. Therefore, this chapter will provide you with a framework to maximize the potential of girls/women with an emphasis on health and performance, which will facilitate the integration of young girls into the world of professional football. You can expect chapters like maturity of girls, the female hormonal cycle and injury prevention to gain insight on the individual development of players.
