A prática pedagógica da iniciação esportiva no futebol para a formação cognitiva e capacidade de decisão destes futuros atletas de alto rendimento

Abstract

This study aims to understand the application of the situational method in sports initiation of football for the cognitive training and decision-making ability of future high-performance athletes. The researcher, through his deeper contact with football, realized that in the current tactical and physical evolution of the sport, one foundation stands out before others, decision making. Those athletes who manage to make the right decisions within the game stand out considerably over the rest. However, we must always respect the range of students' development in the training and recreational activities offered. These should always focus on the fundamentals and games that encourage students to think about the next step to be taken. This will positively stimulate children in their development process, and when they are in high performance, everything learned during sports initiation will be used successfully. For this study the qualitative methodology was adopted, the research has an exploratory nature, as it may involve bibliographic survey, interviews with people who had, or has practical experiences with the researched problem and analysis of examples that encourage understanding. It can be concluded from the data that the best method of seeking the cognitive teaching of football in sports initiation is through the situational method, teachers must be creative so that they adapt a more competitive method for something more playful aimed at sports initiation, without leaving the main objective of the exercise or discouraging students.
