| Vitor Frade “The Father of Tactical Periodization” | Manuel da Costa (Vitor) Frade is the creator of Tactical Periodization. He is known in Portugal, Brazil and Spain as one of the world’s greatest experts and thinkers when it comes to football methodologies. Vitor revolutionised football coaching by combining all phases of the game, making sure that the tactical dimension is at the forefront of every training session – there is no need for specific physical, tactical or technical training. The “Game Model” guides the entire training process. This philosophy is based around getting the players to think, learn and develop, to make the right decisions based on the coach’s style of play. This leads to performance stabilisation throughout the season. Vitor Frade pictured in the centre with both authors José (left) and Juan (right) |
