EN: <\/b>I believe there are many ways to reach Rome: by boat, by plane, by bike, on foot, or by car. I believe in my own ways, and fortunately, many of them \u2014 almost all, in fact \u2014 are based on what my contact with Tactical Periodization has given me from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n My start was an interesting one. I wasn\u2019t even a coach yet, but I was already thinking about becoming one, which led me to seek knowledge. When I was playing futsal for Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal and acting almost as an assistant coach for the team\u2019s trainer, I came across Carlos Carvalhal\u2019s thesis, titled \u2018Recover While Training My Game.\u2019 At that time, Carlos had just been appointed as the coach of Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal, and I saw this as an opportunity. I thought, \u2018I won\u2019t let this chance slip away.\u2019<\/p>\n As soon as he arrived, I approached him and said, \u2018Coach, I\u2019ve been reading your thesis, and I\u2019d love to observe your training sessions.\u2019 He was incredibly approachable and replied, \u2018You can attend as many sessions as you like.\u2019 That was the moment I started connecting theory to practice. There were concepts in the thesis that I didn\u2019t fully understand at the time, but by watching the training sessions \u2014 sitting next to Quinito, the great Quinito, full of amazing football stories \u2014 everything began to make sense. After each session, I would take the opportunity to ask Carlos and Rifa about my doubts.<\/p>\n I spent nearly a year watching all the training sessions and matches of Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal. That was my first real contact with Tactical Periodization, and it was truly eye-opening.<\/p>\n But to give better context, let me go back in time. I played football until I was 16, in 1986, as part of the youth ranks at Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal. When I moved up to the junior level, training sessions were held at the same time as school classes, and my parents were adamant: \u2018You\u2019re going to study, forget football, you need to secure a career.\u2019 So, I had to quit football and started playing futsal instead, where I stayed for many years.<\/p>\n Even in futsal, I already questioned certain practices. I remember training sessions where, at the start, we had to run 15 minutes around the court to warm up. That used to frustrate me. I thought, \u2018We\u2019re wasting valuable training time instead of learning and practicing the game.\u2019 I would tell my coaches this, but the answer was always the same: \u2018Just do what you\u2019re told and keep quiet.\u2019<\/p>\n Years later, when I heard Mourinho\u2019s famous quote \u2014 \u2018If you want to learn to play the piano, sit down and practice; don\u2019t run around it\u2019 \u2014 I realized I\u2019d been thinking that way long before, without even knowing it. When I came into contact with Tactical Periodization, it all made perfect sense. I understood that every minute of training can be used to teach and practice the game while integrating all performance factors.<\/p>\n PT<\/b><\/p>\n Acredito que h\u00e1 v\u00e1rias formas de chegar a Roma: de barco, de avi\u00e3o, de bicicleta, a p\u00e9 ou de carro. Eu acredito nas minhas formas e, felizmente, muitas delas \u2014 quase todas, na verdade \u2014 s\u00e3o fundamentadas naquilo que o meu contacto com a Periodiza\u00e7\u00e3o T\u00e1ctica me proporcionou desde o in\u00edcio.<\/p>\n O meu in\u00edcio foi curioso. Eu ainda nem era treinador, mas j\u00e1 pensava em s\u00ea-lo, o que me levou a procurar conhecimento. Quando jogava futsal no Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal e atuava quase como adjunto do treinador da equipa, deparei-me com a tese do Carlos Carvalhal, intitulada \u2018Recuperar Treinando o meu Jogo\u2019. Naquela altura, o Carlos assumiu como treinador do Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal, e eu vi nisso uma oportunidade. Pensei: \u2018N\u00e3o vou deixar esta chance passar\u2019.<\/p>\n Assim que ele chegou, fui falar com ele. Disse: \u2018Mister, estou aqui a ler a sua tese e gostaria muito de assistir aos seus treinos\u2019. Ele foi super acess\u00edvel e respondeu: \u2018Os treinos que tu quiseres\u2019. E esse foi o momento em que comecei a ligar a teoria \u00e0 pr\u00e1tica. Havia coisas na tese que eu ainda n\u00e3o compreendia completamente, mas, ao assistir aos treinos, com o Quinito ao meu lado \u2014 o grande Quinito, cheio de hist\u00f3rias incr\u00edveis de futebol \u2014, tudo come\u00e7ou a fazer sentido. Depois de cada sess\u00e3o, eu aproveitava para perguntar ao Carlos e ao Rifa sobre as minhas d\u00favidas.<\/p>\n Passei praticamente um ano a assistir a todos os treinos e jogos do Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal. Esse foi o meu primeiro contacto real com a Periodiza\u00e7\u00e3o T\u00e1ctica, e foi revelador.<\/p>\n Mas, para contextualizar melhor, vou voltar um pouco atr\u00e1s no tempo. Eu joguei futebol at\u00e9 aos 16 anos, em 1986, nas camadas jovens do Vit\u00f3ria de Set\u00fabal. Quando passei para os juniores, os treinos eram ao mesmo tempo que as aulas, e os meus pais foram categ\u00f3ricos: \u2018Vai estudar, esquece o futebol, \u00e9 preciso garantir uma carreira\u2019. Assim, tive de deixar o futebol de campo e fui jogar futsal, onde fiquei por muitos anos.<\/p>\n Mesmo no futsal, j\u00e1 questionava algumas pr\u00e1ticas. Lembro-me de treinos onde, no in\u00edcio, t\u00ednhamos de correr 15 minutos \u00e0 volta do pavilh\u00e3o para aquecer. Aquilo deixava-me frustrado. Pensava: \u2018Estamos a desperdi\u00e7ar tempo de treino, em vez de aprender e praticar o jogo\u2019. Falava isso aos meus treinadores, mas a resposta era sempre a mesma: \u2018Faz o que mandamos e cala-te\u2019.<\/p>\n Anos depois, quando ouvi a frase do Mourinho \u2014 \u2018Se queres aprender a tocar piano, senta-te e pratica; n\u00e3o corras \u00e0 volta dele\u2019 \u2014, percebi que j\u00e1 pensava assim muito antes, mesmo sem saber. Quando conheci a Periodiza\u00e7\u00e3o T\u00e1ctica, fez todo o sentido. Entendi que cada minuto de treino pode ser aproveitado para ensinar e praticar o jogo, integrando todos os fatores de rendimento.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-educational-content"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5877"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5877\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6399,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5877\/revisions\/6399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
