Progressão is a book, a podcast, and a long-term thinking project focused on football, learning, and skilful human behaviour.

Game models in football are discussed constantly. Most coaches have strong opinions about them, but fewer can describe their own model with depth — or stop to ask where the underlying thinking is actually leading them. I
Representative practice is one of those ideas that sounds simple until a match shows you exactly where your training stopped being representative. France U21 against Estonia U21. Final score six to one, but the number th
Metaphor is the lens through which we actually see the game. Call a player a computer and you start looking for software to upgrade. Call a team a puzzle and you start developing pieces to assemble. The metaphor decides,
Resonance starts as a simple idea from physics. Pluck a guitar string and the body of the instrument starts to vibrate with it. Two systems, coupled, moving together. James Gibson used the word as a synonym for attunemen

Welcome to the Progressão podcast. This week, we open a discussion around one of the most used, and perhaps least clearly understood, concepts in football: game intelligence. What do we actually mean when we say that a p
