“The Department of Planning and Research (DPI) of the Sports City of Sant Adriá, which is directed by Juan Luis Martínez, aims to plan, structure and control the entire training process of the Youth Soccer players of RCD Espanyol de Barcelona ”.
“Juan Luis Martínez, head of the area, explains that“ we have created our own training methodology, where tactical, technical, physical and psychological aspects are worked on in an interrelated way, respecting the growth and maturation process of each age. We also carry out studies that help us improve this process ”.
“JuanLu comments that they have created a new Methodology for football because the current ones do not satisfy the intrinsic needs of this sport.”
“The training sessions are adapted as much as possible to what a player is going to find at the moment of the game: our sessions cannot be based on unspecific situations that have nothing to do with football. We can only develop the football intelligence of our players by working in an interrelated way ”.
“The sessions have to be adapted to the children: The players are growing and their organism undergoes a great number of physical, mental and biological transformations that impose limits on the training capacity. Sports in children can only access training levels, when its approach takes the person as a reference – says Juan Luis Martínez ”.
