How to Monitor the Training Process in Soccer

Designed for coaches and sports scientists working with youth and adult players, this Soccer Hub course introduces the principles and methods of monitoring the training process in soccer. It covers internal and external load indicators, testing protocols for velocity associated with maximum oxygen uptake, small-sided and large-sided games demands, and the most demanding passages of official match play. The goal is to help practitioners translate scientific findings into practical strategies for performance development.

The course is delivered entirely online and comprises 31 lessons across five sections, with unlimited lifetime access. It is taught by Andrea Riboli, a sports scientist and strength and conditioning coach in professional soccer who holds a PhD in sport sciences and serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Università degli Studi di Milano, where he teaches match and training analysis. The course is offered through the Soccer Hub platform and includes downloadable documents and assessments.
