2.3. Help your club to create its own identity

Coaches will be able to learn processes that can be used to create and improve the identity of their club. In addition, the learning objectives of this course will help the coaches to grow and develop, since they will have more tools to achieve a more comprehensive learning of their players.

Coaches will be introduced to the four pillars of Ekkono Identity:

1- TALKMADE: It allows for creating, accelerating, and maintaining a football culture. The core ideas to work on are planning, training didactics and game model. All these contents must be developed with the participation of the whole technical staff.

2-SMARTFIELDER: The Ekkono training method should be the starting point to elaborate a proposal that generates smart and expert players. The final boost in transitioning to professionalism is the use of technology-based self-analysis.

3-CO-LEARNING: Decentralizing teaching processes in sport accelerates and optimizes the construction of a common vision (it is knowledge stemming from all parties involved). Learnings are more significant, stable, and transferable to the game.

4-COMMITTEES: The creation of Committees (small groups of people from all levels of the organization) enables the establishment of processes in our day to day with the aim of living the shared values.

These four pillars include a set of processes which can help and accelerate the players’ development as footballers and as a human beings and the coaches’ engagement to the club as well.

Ekkono-Method

Ekkono is a coaching method specialized in teaching football game understading, originally developed by Carles Romagosa and David Hernandez. The method is the result of a long development process of more than 20 years, which has been utilized in training centers, universities, clubs and with professional players and coaches.

The starting point of the method is to gather all the information available about the game and structure it into an understandable way of teaching game understanding. After this, the goal of the Ekkono Method is to help players reach their full potential through cognitive exercises and to teach them the key individual fundamentals of the game.

Ekkono-Pathway

Ekkono-pathway includes 4 levels. The Level 1 is organized online, and other educations (L2-L4) are organized in Eerikkilä. The levels are meant to be carried out in order, however inside the level the order can vary. In the level 3 & 4, the coach don’t necessarily need to participate in the age phase that is not relevant to his/her team. For example U13 coach don’t have to go through the educations 3.3 & 3.4, and therefore can continue straight to Youth Master Ekkono after 3.1 & 3.2. The level 3 education 3.5 is only organized for the clubs’ directors of coaching.
