This month, the Department of Sports recently had a productive meeting with esteemed colleagues from the Polytechnic Institute of Santarem, in Portugal. During our discussion, Eduardo Teixeira, Mauro Miguel and Vitor Padinha shared with us the curriculum offered in their institutions for graduate students on the football coach course.
In addition to exploring pedagogical strategies, the meeting discussed scientific topics in sports sciences, particularly focusing on mutual interests in football coaching methodologies and performance optimization. Given our department’s current emphasis on football research, the meeting served as a potential collaborative project between our Portuguese colleagues and us.
If you are interested in an internship at the Polytechnic Institute of Santarem and are interested in football, the Department of Sport extends an invitation to research across Portugal and the Czech Republic.
For the third time, we will welcome a number of international experts to our faculty, who will be giving lectures and practical sessions from November 18–22. Register for individual lessons and workshops here!
