Due to my convictions and personal interests I assigned in this internee with the goals of getting more practical and theoretical knowledge of physical capacities training prescription, mostly about strength training and its role on the performance, rehabilitation and injury prevention. Since it was proposed that i assumed the leadership of Vitorias's Sport Clube men volleyball team strength and conditioning coach, my main function was to improve the players' strength and power values and also monitor the training load. Hopefully those improvements would positively contribute to the athletes' performance.This process put me to the test in different aspects relative to a team's management since training prescription to human resources' management. In this scope, my challenges were related not only with athlete's physical preparation and management but also with the management of this process with technical and tactical work and the goals of the main coach. Although some conflicts have arised mostly by unexpected events, this experience was extremely positive due to the learning process and the challenges that were placed in me over the course of the time. Indeed, those personal and professional challenges were of such magnitude that pushed me to another level of creativity and action strategies that resulted in a considerable growth and in an expansion of training and life perspectives.As far as the efficacy of training plan I consider it relevant owing to the low number of non-contact injuries (the only ones that can be reduced) that existed during the season and the improvement of some performance markers (eg. vertical jump). Towards this aspect it can be concluded that the task was very positive and enriching since the existence of many careful situations all along the training process. Regardless of those fator, the results could have been significantly better.In conclusion, all the process related to my insertion in a team's technical staff was very profitable showing me many details and ways of being in such environment that can be valiant in the connection with the athletes and the way that the training process can be seen by them. However i should have implemented different connection strategies with the athletes and the rest of the technical staff, a larger individualization of training due to the diferent characteristics of the athletes and another kind of training than strength and this was because of my inexperience.
