Abstract

ABSTRACT Performance analysis (PA) has become a key requirement for association football coaches within England to aid their practice but less is known in other countries. We examined the perceptions of Danish association football coaches towards the use and engagement with PA. An online survey with 34 open-ended and close-ended questions was completed by 200 UEFA A and Pro Licenced coaches, gaining insights into how the coaches’ engaged with PA, how PA supported their practice and the future of PA in Denmark. Additionally, five male coaches completed a semi-structured interview. UEFA Pro Licenced coaches had greater experience with analysis support and perceived the importance of video for opposition and reviewing their own team’s performance with higher regard than UEFA A Licenced coaches. Cost and time were highlighted as barriers, but a clear desire to have a dedicated performance analyst was acknowledged by all coaches. The research findings provide key considerations regarding the knowledge and understanding of how Danish football coaches review and evaluate performances, highlight the perceived benefits of PA and acknowledge a desire to increase investment. The insights can be used to inform future decision making regarding the direction of PA provision and the education and development of Danish coaches.

丹麦足协教练员绩效感知分析

摘要:绩效分析(PA)已经成为英格兰足协教练的一项重要要求，以帮助他们的训练，但在其他国家却知之甚少。我们检查了丹麦足协教练对PA的使用和参与的看法。200名欧足联A级和职业教练完成了一项包含34个开放式和封闭式问题的在线调查，以深入了解教练如何与私人助理合作，私人助理如何支持他们的实践以及私人助理在丹麦的未来。此外，五名男性教练完成了半结构化访谈。与欧足联A级教练相比，欧足联职业教练在分析支持方面有更丰富的经验，他们认识到视频对对手的重要性，并对自己球队的表现给予了更高的重视。成本和时间是突出的障碍，但所有教练都明确希望有一个专门的绩效分析师。研究结果提供了关于丹麦足球教练如何审查和评估表现的知识和理解的关键考虑因素，强调了PA的感知好处，并承认增加投资的愿望。这些见解可以用来为未来关于PA提供方向和丹麦教练的教育和发展的决策提供信息。
