Presentation about opponent observation realized by "The Scottish Football Association".
Why do we do it?
It give the coach the opportunity to prepare his training sessions with the opponent in mind;
To provocate and exploit the weaknesses;
To antecipate and prevent the qualities.
How do we do it?
We control the opponent throughly by watching all 5 games before we play them + we request videos of th other games;
Based on the information: a report is put together, one DVD is edited and one Powerpoint presentation is compiled.
The same report is given to the Manager and the players. This is given immediately in the beggining of the week (except on the day of the active recovery. Emotional & Mental rest);
The report and the DVD tend to repeat the information so that the players can recall it ore easily during match situation.
What do we watch?
The observation controls the following items:
Offensive and deffensive organizations (principles);
