Overview
In cooperation with FC Twente, we organize a course 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).
Objectives
Upon completion of this Football Behaviour Management course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam you should be able to:
- write a player scouting report
- present a player to a decision maker
- build a Bayesian network model for data scouting
- structure a club to protect her long-term interest
- influence decision makers to make good decisions.
Programme Structure
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.
Audience
This course is for students and professionals in the field of social, exact, or technical sciences who want to know more about changing organisational behaviour through positive reinforcement within professional football club
