33 YEARS Of RICH COACHING EXPERIENCE
Prof. Jorge Castelo Head Coach Discussion Document “The conception of a game model should tend to the specific player characteristics of one’s team, in such a way that they are able to naturally and efficiently exploit their own abilities. Unifying and synchronising all of those abilities establishes the team’s possibility to react as a whole when faced with different game situations.” - Prof. Jorge Castelo

Institution of knowledge for team players coaches and Support Staff “If we consider that each sports holds itself an IDENTITY CARD, containing one’s unique, non-transferable FINGERPRINTS, we easily realise that each sport has an operating logic, a reason to be and to exist. Prof. Jorge Castelo

“As an investigator I say that each player and the team are, on the whole, of an infinite complexity. So weather we like it or not, whatever the possibilities of study in depth, the football played in the future will not be the same as today’s football. Therefore, it is crucial to expand the sources that seek to explain the reality of the game and understand most pressing its structure and functionality in the sense of evolution. Dogmatic knowledge creates constraints to the discovery, of reality, slows us down, and aparalyzes progress, doubt, will consider and determine problems”
