Football Alchemy:

The Language & Philosophy of Positional Play

​

Course Overview - Approx. 25+ Hours

​

This course takes you deep into the foundations of positional play—its terminology, principles, and philosophy. You’ll learn to “speak the language” of modern football, uncovering how top managers and players use shared vocabulary and concepts to coordinate movements, create superiorities, and dictate the flow of the game.

​

Rather than simply running drills or learning isolated tactics, you’ll build a framework for understanding football as a structured, strategic system. By the end of this course, you’ll see the pitch differently—through the lens of positional play.

  • The Core Language: Key terms and concepts that underpin positional play.

  • The Philosophy: Why positional play matters—and how it shapes the game.
