Football Periodisation – Introduction Course 2

Football Periodisation – Introduction Course 2, delivered by Football Coach Evolution founder Raymond Verheijen, is designed for coaches at all levels seeking a deeper understanding of periodisation principles. The course explores topics including the 'month of birth' bias in scouting, the distinction between fitness and freshness, fatigue accumulation and its effect on performance and injury risk, pre-season build-up strategies, and why explosive players require individual periodisation to reduce muscle injuries.

The course is delivered entirely online and comprises nine lectures alongside a 15-question, 60-minute quiz. Although listed as completable within a short timeframe, the course is structured across two weeks. Participants who complete the programme earn a certificate of completion. The course is taught by Raymond Verheijen, founder of Football Coach Evolution and the lead instructor across the platform's range of coaching and periodisation programmes.
