Target Group
The special qualification in the area of leadership skills enables excellent career prospects for prospective or already active as trainers*. The Leadership in Football course is aimed at professional as well as amateur and junior coaches. Full-time and part-time trainers alike acquire crucial leadership skills.
However, club managers, sporting directors, scouts, analysts and other staff members of an association or club, as well as sports students who want to prepare themselves optimally for a future career in the soccer business, will also benefit from the new institute certificate.
Learning content
Those who complete the Leadership in Football course will go through five modules with a total of ten days of attendance and virtual learning units for self-study. The focus to develop crucial leadership skills in football is mainly on leadership and psychology in football. By teaching these scientific basics and carrying out many practical exercises, the prerequisites for solving a wide range of tasks in everyday coaching are created.
In the first module, the focus is on sports pedagogy and sports psychology. How do I deal with staff and players, how do I appear personally?
The second module teaches successful communication. Which messages do I convey best and how? Crisis management is also discussed. The third module is dedicated to key qualifications for trainers and management, in which empathy plays an essential role. The fourth module focuses on player and coach supervision. Role plays are used to check and improve one’s own actions. The fifth, final module deals with team development and group dynamics.
The importance of leadership in football
Profound societal changes such as demographic change, digitization, and ongoing professionalization have contributed to a change in the requirements profile for coaches in recent years. Multi-headed coaching teams have become the norm in professional soccer, for example. Against this backdrop, coaches can more than ever be described as leaders, since they are responsible for the coaching team and the team in particular. This is particularly noticeable in dealing with the squad of players, which consists of different characters with different needs. For this reason, educational, psychological and social support in football is becoming increasingly important.
Those who go through our certificate programme will deal intensively with the topics of leadership skills, sports pedagogy and psychology in football and, thanks to the certificate, will be able to successfully apply the skills they have learned in the context of their daily challenges. Furthermore, the participants are prepared in detail and in a practical way for the complex and extensive professional field of full-time and part-time trainers.
