Introduction
In this module 1, we will try to establish a starting point to know the type of observation that we carry out in the formative football of FC Barcelona. We want to make it clear from the beginning that, from now on, we will name the analyst’s character as the observer. During the module, we will understand the reason for this change in terminology.
We will see the beginnings of video observation through a brief introduction to find out where we come from within the analysis in team sports. Likewise, we will show the tools that have been created to satisfy the observer’s needs and, finally, the methodology developed by the club in the combination of two departments, designed for the improvement and growth in the observation of formative football.
