Overview
Learn how to become a scout in football or a technical director of a football club.
Key Facts
In cooperation with FC Twente, we organize Football Behaviour Management course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to help you learn how to recruit the right players for a professional football club. Although the recruitment strategy also works for other sports, during the course we focus on football (soccer).
While player recruitment is one of the most important aspects of running a club, it is also one of the least understood processes. For that reason, we look into five different sciences that support better decision making in the recruitment of players. These five sciences are:
- Viable System Model. (VSM)
- Cybernetic Big Five Theory (Cb5T)
- Organizational Behaviour Management (OBM)
- Subjective Bayesian statistics
- Triangulation
