El Curso de Entrenadores del Sevilla FC avanza con los módulos de técnica y legislación

El Curso de Entrenadores del Sevilla FC continúa su desarrollo con un enfoque práctico y teórico que refuerza la formación de los alumnos. En las últimas semanas, los participantes han completado dos módulos fundamentales en su aprendizaje como son Legislación y Técnica, áreas esenciales para su desarrollo como entrenadores.

Uno de los aspectos más destacados ha sido la metodología de enseñanza aplicada, que combina sesiones teóricas con experiencias prácticas en el campo. Antes de cada clase teórica, los alumnos han tenido la oportunidad de realizar visionados de entrenamientos, guiados directamente por el docente del módulo correspondiente. Esta iniciativa les permite analizar en tiempo real las dinámicas de trabajo y trasladar ese conocimiento a las sesiones en aula.

Durante el mes de febrero, el encargado de impartir el módulo ha sido Javier Martínez, actual segundo entrenador del Sevilla Atlético, primer filial del club. Su experiencia en el fútbol de alto rendimiento ha sido un gran valor añadido para los alumnos, quienes han podido conocer de primera mano las claves del día a día en un equipo profesional que compite en Primera RFEF. 

El programa formativo no se detiene, y la próxima semana los participantes iniciarán un nuevo módulo, que estará dirigido por José Manuel García-Baquero, técnico de cantera del Sevilla FC.

Con este curso, el Sevilla FC refuerza su compromiso con la formación de entrenadores, asegurando que las nuevas generaciones cuenten con los conocimientos y herramientas necesarias para crecer en la industria del fútbol.

The Prague Raptors participate in the Coaches Academy Program of the Sevilla FC Innovation Center

Alexie Kolowrat, player of the first women’s team and coach of the U-15 team, expressed deep gratitude for this experience: “I hope to take a lot of knowledge back home across different coaching categories. Not just the technical aspects of organizing training sessions and that sort of thing, but also everything outside of training, like recovery and match analysis, and those things we can start to implement in our club.”

The player and coach highlighted the importance of addressing areas that are often overlooked in emerging clubs: “As a coach, it will help me see how to implement some of these things on a smaller scale, but still figure out how we can use them and focus on aspects we hadn’t fully considered before.”

Kolowrat also emphasized the importance Sevilla FC places on details, a factor she considers crucial both for her development as a coach and her role as a player: “It has been very helpful to see the amount of attention given here to different aspects that people sometimes overlook. Here, they focus on every detail, and you can see the big impact of doing the little things right. As a player, it has shown me that you really need to give 100% in everything, not just in football, but also in psychology and everything off the pitch.”

The Coaches Academy program provided Kolowrat and other participants access to top-tier resources and the opportunity to interact with experts in disciplines such as data analysis, physiology, sports psychology, and team management. According to Alexie, this experience represents a unique opportunity to apply what she has learned to the Prague Raptors: “It’s a very enriching experience that they should definitely take advantage of if they have the chance, because the resources here are very valuable, with experts in different disciplines.”
