Abstract

Within the training processes in soccer, it is necessary for the design of tasks, that the perception of the coach's difficulty coincides with that of his players, a fact that does not always occur. Therefore, the aims of this study are: a) to assess the perception of difficulty experienced by children in sport initiation compared to tasks according to the level of difficulty perceived by the coach; and b) to identify the technical and tactical patterns of greatest learning difficulty for players in sports initiation. To this end, a qualitative study was designed with youth players in sport initiation (n=11), on which a series of tasks were applied that their trainer had ordered based on their perception of the difficulty. The most notable results show that: a) the development of certain tasks of an analytical nature that are assumed to be simpler means greater degrees of complexity for youth soccer players; and b) the perception that coaches have of the difficulty involved in small sided games is greater than the difficulty perceived by young players on this type of tasks. This data can be used by coaches in training categories to improve the design of tasks, and thus adapt the training methodology to the players.
