Opponent Analysis: From Observation to the Match Plan
A course that follows the full opponent-analysis journey, from individual observation to training application. It starts with individual analysis of the opponent's players, information sources and the professional individual report, moves to collective analysis and turning the team report into a match plan, then translates that analysis into training tasks that simulate the opponent's behaviours, and finally delivers the information to players across the microcycle.
