Albert Puig Football Concepts

About This Course

Designed for professional coaches, youth academy coaches, academy managers, and heads of methodology and player development, this intermediate-level course examines the concept of the "Second Attacker" and the role of intelligent off-ball movement in collective play. Across nine chapters, participants explore both free and pressured situations, covering techniques such as penetration runs, counter-movements, and attraction support, with the aim of helping players read the game, create advantages for the ball possessor, and contribute meaningfully when not in possession.

Delivered entirely online by Albert Puig Football Concepts (APFC), the course can be completed within two weeks and is taught in English. Content is presented through video modules, diagrams, and supporting material, with individual chapter lengths ranging from approximately ten to nineteen minutes. No specific qualification or certification is referenced on the course page. APFC has received endorsements from coaches associated with organisations including FC Barcelona, Manchester City, and several NWSL clubs.
