Football is a game of skill – the ability to perceive, adapt, and act within a constantly changing environment. It’s not just about executing actions but about corresponding with the game’s dynamic possibilities.

Yet, we often reduce football to isolated statistics such as GPS loads, intensity metrics, and event data. But what if true performance isn’t found in reductionist measurements, but in perceptual attunement, emergent synergies, and adaptive coordination?

Today, we welcome Daniel Carrilho, a researcher and coach who challenges conventional performance analysis. His expertise in ecological dynamics reveals how players co-regulate actions, calibrate movements, and adapt within the constraints of the game.

From this perspective, new questions emerge: For example, is intensity really the key? Or is it about understanding context, constraints, and cooperation?

Let’s rethink performance analysis.
