    LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll

    LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.
  • What's the Big Deal with Futsal?

    What's the Big Deal with Futsal?

    WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL WITH FUTSAL? In some countries, some of which are soccer power houses, youth play only futsal and don’t get to play on the big outdoor turf field until they are older. Some say this is the reason for their strength in soccer. Here in the USA we have been training players in reverse order. All players from 4 to 18 years old play on outdoor soccer fields and on futsal courts later. But this is changing as the benefits of futsal are now beginning to be recognized. Per the U.S. Futsal Federation, the complementary benefits of futsal for soccer are: 1. Philosophy of Learning / Game-based Learning Ever heard, “Let the game be the teacher”? Player understanding and performance is learned, improved and solidified by playing the game. The fast-paced 5v5 futsal game of continuously attacking and counter-attacking on a small and dependable surface (gym floor instead of bumpy ground) is perfect for this. You don’t need to be coached all year round. Just play and “let the game be the teacher.” 2. Tactical/Cognitive Development Tactical coaching at an early age helps with the development of cognitive abilities of players. It’s not just coaching to win over all else, as is sometimes misinterpreted. Playing futsal integrates learning of techniques, tactics and decision making along with conditioning contributing to players with outstanding “game intelligence”. Futsal’s increased frequency of player action leads to rapid refinement of players’ thought processes. Interchanging soccer and futsal training environments is an outstanding way to nurture intelligent players.

SPORTS STRATEGY, 2000-2006 Kimio Kase* Sandalio Gómez** Ignacio Urrutia*** Magdalena Opazo**** Carlos Martí**** Abstract Over the period 2000-2006, Real Madrid Football Club and Barcelona Football Club pursued different strategies and achieved different results. In the latter half of the period (in contrast to the first half), Real Madrid won no trophies but was crowned the richest club in the world1. Meanwhile, after a disconcerting start, Barcelona won a UEFA Champions League and two La Liga titles, though it struggled financially. By analyzing the two clubs’ strategies and their financial and sporting performance over the chosen period we explore the different ways in which sports organizations can succeed, and how their success can be measured. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: What strategies did Real Madrid and Barcelona adopt to bring about this reversal of fortunes in a few short years? What variables explain the difference in outcomes? Are there any differences in their business and sports strategies? We use a matrix to analyze and relate the clubs’ financial and business strategy to their sports strategy.

The statistical indicators selected are generally correlated to results. It is therefore pos- sible to use them as a guide to identify the teams most likely to win. In all of the cases, we compare the values measured for current teams with those of the last five winners. The first group of indicators studied relates to the experience of squad members, whether in Euro- pean cups, in national A-team selections or in domestic leagues (chapter 2). The second type of indicators refers to squad stability: permanence in the first team squad, employment of new play- ers and length of contract remaining (chapter 3). We then analyse transfer policies from the point of view of sums invested in signing players and the level of teams from which they were recruited (chapter 4).
