We segment clubs and athletes into 3 classes: Class A, Class B and Class C.
Within this segmentation, it is key to have carried out an exhaustive follow-up of the athletes in question, so that the profiles that have been scouted, and must be presented to the coaching staff and managers, fit with the idiosyncrasies of the institution and the game model of the coach.
Fundamental Principles
- Teamwork
- Leadership
