Anyone who persecutes the football media must inevitably get the impression that the fate of whole nations depends on the choice of three or four-chain, the pressing height or the change of different basic arrangements during a game. So that we do not misunderstand: Of course, tactical orientation, strategic adjustments and their mediation are particularly in the top football of enormous importance. But in terms of successful trainer work, they have long not been anything, but only the tip of the iceberg and the most uncomplicated part.
What it takes? More than tactical systems
For success, it needs much more than a good plan. It needs personalities that are able to make smart decisions in emotionally charged situations and convey them with great conviction. Rational justified, sometimes out of the stomach. It needs people who can feel and regulate moods, but infect others with their emotions, but maintain class and respect at any time. It takes a clearly organized team behind the team with a positive performance culture in which every expert (note: the male form closes all sexes) to bring in its full competence and thus can help the decisions based on a perfect base.
And of course, it needs all things, who are in perfect condition to the point in perfect makeup, believe in the game, passionate fighters and together standing together. Players who have the game intelligence to decide at the right moment themselves what the situation requires, and feel confidence to leave the tactical framework.
In the control center of these processes, the coach itself stands. As a person who acts both situatively as well as strategically every day and must meet and communicate a plethora of technical and human decisions. As a leader with radiance and responsibility towards a whole organization. As a well-networked insider in the "system football", in which he has to move safely. As a personality that stands in public, keep criticism and praise. And of course, as a coach with high technical competence, which develops players further, connecting them as a team and developed at the end a plan perfect for players and situation.
The practical work takes place in the clubs
Trainer's work is thus extremely complex and goes far beyond handling tactical means. Therefore, the DFB Academy has set itself the task of covering the entire spectrum of competences in the promotion of coaches and to orient themselves as close as possible to the individual and real situation of the respective trainer. For example, we have relocated the practice shares of the training focused on the clubs of the coaches, where they can be given individually tailored feedback on the work in the individual environment and with their own team. And not only related to training in the square, but also to all adjacent tasks, such as the leadership of individual players, the vote within the function team or the handling of the media.

The training formats of the DFB Academy are part of a dynamic process in which contents and structures are permanently set to the test bench to adapt them to the increasing complexity of football. The fixed point is a coach development model with four development dimensions: the own personality and the self-image as a trainer, the processes the players and the game concerning the leadership of teams and organizations as well as the handling of the "system football". In all of these areas, a deeper understanding, higher practical action skills and awareness of ways of development are conveyed. Always with a holistically oriented view and relative to the special field of application of the respective trainer. In doing so, we involve top experts from practice both in the conception and in the mediation.
In order to clarify the starting point of the four development dimensions once using the example of the first dimension: here are triggered for the development of crucial processes in which the coaches deal with themselves in their role as a trainer. So about the following questions reflect: What makes me? How do I take myself true and how will I perceive others? With which player characters do I get along well, with what less well, and why is that? How do I react and do I work as a coach if I get under stress? Where is my place in football - and where maybe not? About the intensive examination of one's own action, their own effect and mutual feedback, each individual is enabled to better understand themselves to use their individual qualities in the coaching work more effectively and develop awareness of other personal development steps.
Personality development in focus
Both numerous talks with coaches and experts with a wide variety of backgrounds as well as the experiences of the past football teachers courses have shown that trainers like to deal with their own personality development. The conviction within the DFB Academy is therefore great to put the personality and its effect in the roles as a coach, leadership figure and public interest in both the selection of coaches as well as in training at the center of all considerations.
It is completely clear that all technical and lead-related competencies are also developed in detail and certainly will not be neglected. In the end, however, it will only succeed with stable self-confidence and a wise assessment and use of one's own qualities, develop credible leadership, build resilient relationships and create a atmosphere in which all those involved are well-being and at the same time maximum performance. And only on this basis, in the last step, it will succeed in convincing the perfect plan and to move people consistently to implement it and fill with life.
Urely a month, experts and experts of the DFB Academy in the DFB Academy write about the diverse academic topics such as coaching, technology school, tactics, manager certificate, nutrition, neurocentred training or artificial intelligence. It's about development and progress in football - in short: "Academy Inside" .
