Performance psychology football (on demand)

This course is suitable for both players and (future) coaches. Upon completion of this KNVB-accredited online course in Performance Psychology Football, you will receive 3 KNVB licence points.

Why does one player rise above himself during an important match and another player succumb to the pressure? What factors play a role in this and how can you positively influence these in yourself and your player?

Using various short videos, workbooks, quizzes, practical case studies and research, sports psychologist Paul van Zwam teaches you, first of all, to look at factors that influence your own behaviour.

You will learn how to increase your self-confidence, reduce (match) tension and gain more control over your own reactions. Next, you get practical tips and tools on how to change your player and/or team’s behaviour in a positive way to achieve better performance.

In our online community, you have the opportunity to spar with (fellow) course members and ask questions to your teacher and go deeper into your specific situation.
