In the pursuit of planning the development of young athletes worldwide, irrespective of their sport, coaches devise programs with the goal of enhancing athletic efficiency. This objective concentrates on maintaining consistent high-level sports performance while mitigating the risk of injuries Kurt et al. In sports science, several established solutions exist for addressing these challenges Blecharz et al.
These solutions provide a framework for designing customized programs tailored to the specific requirements of an athlete, a team or a club, while also accounting for individual development needs Freitas et al. Soccer academies worldwide serve as a valuable source of inspiration for creating rules that enhance individual, group, and team competencies Rongen et al. The solutions developed by coaches, teams, and players to address these challenges carry a degree of risk due to the unique nature of the work environment.
Additionally, competition intensity and the demands of the specific sport further increase the risk of failure Cumming et al. Training programs based on "tactical periodization" Mangan et al. They aim to prepare players to meet matches' tactical tasks and physical demands, using a hybrid approach that focuses on holistic training without isolated elements, by the "train while playing" principle.
The key to this system is the interaction of the methodological tenets and understanding the foundations of the game model through which players can be shaped in many areas technique, fitness, and decision-making ability. One of the most critical abilities in soccer is speed, which significantly influences match outcomes. Even a fraction of a second faster with the ball can determine whether a player scores the decisive goal or prevents it Clark, Thus, speed is of paramount importance in modern soccer, which is becoming increasingly faster Jovanovic, The motor preparation model at the RKS Rakow Czestochowa Academy is based on a modified tactical periodization model, with the additional goal of fostering long-term development in children and youth Szymanek-Pilarczyk et al.
A training mesocycle, lasting 28 days, comprises four microcycles: volume 7 days , explosiveness 7 days , mixed 7 days , and regenerative 7 days. The volume microcycle takes place in large spaces, and the duration of individual games is long. Exercise intensity is low or moderate. The explosiveness microcycle is characterized by games in small spaces, shortened exercise duration, and an increased number of repetitions. Workouts are explosive, including various power-building exercises.
