OUR ADVANTAGES AT IFI

Despite all the time and energy spent on development and success, the so-called soft skills, i.e. one’s own perception or gut feeling, often still predominate in the analysis of games and tactics.

In this context, theoretically and practically sound knowledge and competencies in game analysis and the corresponding subdisciplines ensure the successful development of a team in both the short and long term.

Team analysis, training analysis, partial game analysis, game shift analysis and error analysis can be learned. That is why we have video recordings

The focus of our training and further education is on game analysis and processing as well as individual and group tactics, which will position you as a game analyst and give you an important competitive advantage.

In addition, the successful completion of the program also enables you to participate in our university certificate Match Analyst in Professional Football, which is otherwise exclusively aimed at people who have already been working in professional soccer for several years and can demonstrate expertise in the field of match analysis.

TARGET GROUP OF THE TRAINING IN GAME & TACTICS ANALYSIS

The certificate program is a nationwide education and training offering and is designed for individuals who are already involved in performance-based soccer and want to significantly expand their analysis skills. Employees from ambitious amateur, junior and youth soccer who are already working as match analysts or in scouting, or who would like to work in this area, also benefit significantly from the knowledge imparted in the certificate course.

Especially for trainers and co-trainers, the content represents an enormous added value, because they deepen competencies in an important field of decision-making or possibly acquire them for the first time.

The experience also benefits active soccer players and students with a keen interest in soccer who are aiming for a professional future in the soccer industry.

The profession of match analysts has become an integral part of the soccer industry. Match analysts play a central role not only in squad planning, opponent scouting, but also in the development of a team’s tactics and in soccer strategy research.

Prerequisites for participation in the certificate course are a qualified high school diploma, experience in the sport of soccer, and a strong interest in computer simulation.

20.06.-21.06.2023 (Vienna)

In the first module, the basics in the field of game analysis are addressed.

13.11.-14.11.2023 (Cologne)
24.07. – 25.07.2023 (Vienna)

21.08.-22.08.2023 (Vienna)

YOUR CAREER AS A GAME ANALYST IN PERFORMANCE-BASED SOCCER

If you develop as a game analyst in performance-oriented soccer , you will quickly experience a sense of achievement that will be noticed and passed on in your environment.

In this way, seemingly small changes can create great perspectives.

In one’s own association or club, one’s personal position will be enhanced by the qualification gained.

Possibly, thanks to the new expertise, a kind of pioneering role will emerge and the possibility of being given responsibility beyond the daily soccer routine – for example, as the head of a small analysis department.

In addition, due to the increasing importance of match analysis in soccer, professional associations and clubs are constantly looking for new people with expertise in the field.

The rapid development of data has created a competitive situation on the market, in which every association and club wants to play a weighty role.

It is quite conceivable that in the near future not only coaches and players will be traded on the transfer market, but also well-trained game analysts. The interest in them is already enormous.

Because the more complex the analysis becomes, the more competent the person analyzing the game has to be.

The game analyst still interprets more than will be the case in the future, because there is a clear tendency for tactical and statistical analyses to not only complement each other, but to increasingly unite.
