In a recent Leadersinsports article, Marijn Beuker, Sport Development Director AZ, explains that a lot of training sessions do not adequately promote a clear learning effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how to effect changes in the muscles through training and recovery, but how can you change the brain in the process of training<\/strong> and have an effect for the long-term?\u201d<\/p>\n

AZ\u2019s ability to identify and develop talent<\/strong> has been a cornerstone of its success and stands testament to the fine work of the club\u2019s trainers.\u00a0 AZ academy graduates include club captain Teun Koopmeiners, a 22-year-old midfielder coveted across Europe, and the promising forward duo of the 21-year-old Calvin Stengs and 19-year-old Myron Boadu.\u00a0 In fact, during the past five years, over 45 per cent of all in-game minutes at AZ were played by home-grown players on average. Across Europe, only Athletic Club in Spain\u2019s La Liga boast similarly impressive statistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe discussed about the facts of neuroscience and learning retention within all the different age categories and, more importantly, how training can be calibrated in all details on the field to increase the learning effect<\/strong> and to create the desired changes in the brain. \u201d
\nHe says: \u201cThe biggest mistake that people make nowadays is that they think repetition is key. What we discovered is that you have to vary smart repetitions to use the perception-action process and to avoid autopilot<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand we don\u2019t learn from repetitions \u2013 we learn through variation in repetitions. We as coaches have to provide these variations within training sessions.<\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Training sessions\u00a0should\u00a0be no longer than 90 minutes.
\nAccording to\u00a0Marijn, people place too much emphasis on quantity.<\/p>\n

2\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Randomized trainings\u00a0play a key role at AZ\u2019s youth academy.
\nEven though the academy\u2019s trainers often feel discomfort because of the chaos, the players are constantly sharp, focused, and show a lot of energy. At the same time, it appears they learn a lot of new skills & techniques.<\/p>\n

3\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Players benefit from playing barefoot.
\nTo quote Marijn: \u201cShoes limit the connections your feet are making with obstacles and therefore foot development\u201d. The AZ programme has mapped out exactly how much time needs to be allocated to training on different surfaces like grass, artificial turf and concrete.<\/p>\n
