WHAT MAKES
THE WORLD-CLASS
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN METHODOLOGY UNIQUE?
The Paris Saint-Germain Academy Pro methodology is built upon six fundamental pillars:
- Intelligence ____________________________________
This pillar emphasizes emotional, tactical, and social intelligence. Players confront real-world challenges designed to enhance their independent problem-solving skills. Coaches facilitate this process through guided questioning and structured exercises, promoting critical thinking and learning from mistakes, which cultivates intelligent, adaptable athletes.
- Perception ______________________________________
- Intensity ________________________________________
Maintaining high intensity is essential for success in matches. PSG’s training sessions keep players operating at peak physical capacity through a mix of recovery and high-effort activities. Coaches incorporate competitive elements into exercises to motivate players, ensuring they develop the endurance needed to sustain maximum intensity during games.
- Creativity _______________________________________
- Competition _____________________________________
- Confidence ______________________________________
Building self-confidence is central to the methodology. Coaches focus on positive reinforcement, encouraging players to make bold decisions and learn from feedback. This supportive atmosphere fosters confident players who reflect on their choices and continuously grow.
