![]() All positions require movement skills with and without the ball in possession. The capacity to evaluate, isolate, and integrate allows coaches and strength and conditioning professionals to develop the principles to improve soccer athletes for specific positions in the game.įorwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers have different physical demands in the game. Movement skills and sport skills within soccer are always fused together. The culmination of the performance data within a system for the athletes, the positions, and the game establishes a foundation for success. This allows the analytics to recognize trends and tendencies for the athletes and positions within the team. Integrating all of this with GPS tracking systems data from practice on a regular basis develops a performance baseline for each athlete. Comparing match performance data with athletic performance profiling (i.e., from performance testing) develops an analytics platform for athletes and the position-specific demands for the team. The ability to use match tracking analysis (e.g., Amisco and Prozone) during games is beneficial in examining the differences between athletes, positions, formations, and style of play for the team. The sport has progressed to the point where technology can be used to varying degrees to assist in the process. In modern soccer, identifying athletes’ physical strength and weaknesses with the physical demands of the game is essential.
