These video clips serve as invaluable teaching tools, allowing learners to witness the concepts taught in theory being put into practice on the field.

VIDEO TASKS


We have created well over 70 multi-choice video quizzes for you to navigate through during this course.

These video tasks will show short videos of action from matches where you will have to observe and identify good and poor play highlighting which areas of performance were incorrect and give solutions to what the player should have done correctly.



DECISION-MAKING TASKS


We have created unique interactive 'decision-making multichoice quizzes' for you to complete throughout the courses.

These 'decision-making' video tasks will consist of a short video where the player is about to make a performance decision or action and the video will be paused before they make this action. You will have to assess the situation and you will be given the choice of multiple actions the player can make. You will have to choose an option in the quiz and then review the analysis video to see if your decision was correct or incorrect.


PLAYER PROFILE ASSESSMENTS


This course will give you the opportunity to assess player performance with our PLAYER PERFORMANCE VIDEO ASSESSMENT TASKS.

Player performance assessments in football refers to observing and assessing an individual player's effectiveness, contribution, and execution of skills and tasks during a match.

We have created Six of these video assessments that you will have complete during the course to give you experience of assessing a player's performance, and to give you the opportunity to use the skills and techniques you have learnt on the course.

These assessments also give you the opportunity to test your development and progress.

DATA ANALYSIS TASKS




We have introduced 'Data Analysis Tasks' to incorporate data elements that contribute to assessing player performance.

These tasks offer you the chance to generate your datasets, enhancing your player assessments beyond basic technical observations.

Recording and generating data on a player's performance can provide deeper insights into their match performance, helping answer questions about their productivity.

This course will show and teach how to evaluate player performance and teach you how to compile you own player performance assessments as a coach or as a scout.
