Description
Progressão is a book, a podcast, and a long-term thinking project focused on football, learning, and skilful human behaviour. Our work approaches football from a complex, holistic, and ecological perspective, where players and all football actors are understood as living beings always in correspondence with their environment.

Welcome to Discussão, our monthly episode where we explore skill, learning, and human performance with leading voices from sport, science, and beyond. In this episode, we are joined by Jarkko Tuomisto, a top goalkeeper coach whose journey from Finland has taken him across continents, leagues, and football cultures, from Aspire Academy and Ajax Amsterdam to Independiente del Valle and İstanbul Başakşehir. Together, we explore Jarkko’s inspiring path to the international game, and how different...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our exploration of learning environments by turning to something simple, yet powerful: pelada. Pelada is informal football that is played in streets, beaches, backyards, wherever space allows. The word itself means “naked”, and that captures something essential. These are environments without structure, without coaches, without predefined systems. And yes, full of life. We explore what makes these environments so rich for becoming skilful...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our discussion on enskilment. This time we focus on the role of environment and culture in becoming skilful. What kind of environments do players grow in? And how do those environments shape the way they perceive and act? We explore skill as something that develops within a human–environment system, where surroundings, people, history, and culture are all deeply intertwined. From different football cultures around the world to everyday tr...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our exploration of enskilment and turn our focus toward what this perspective means for teaching and learning. In the previous episode, we introduced enskilment as a way of understanding how skills develop through active engagement with the environment. Drawing from the work of anthropologist Tim Ingold and the ecological psychology of James Gibson, enskilment invites us to see skill not as something stored inside the individual, but as s...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we begin a new series on becoming skilful in football and in human life. We explore the concept of enskilment, developed especially by anthropologist Tim Ingold and rooted in James Gibson’s ecological psychology. Enskilment invites us to see skill as something that grows through participation in a living world. We explore how becoming skilful is a process of deepening sensitivity and responsiveness to the environment. Like said, "learning is insepara...
Welcome to Progressão. As Progressão now continues fully in English, we are revisiting some of our earlier Discussão Mundo conversations — episodes that were especially meaningful, widely listened to, and that still feel highly relevant today. This episode is one of those. Here, we speak with Professor Duarte Araújo, Director of the Laboratory of Expertise in Sport at the University of Lisbon and one of the key voices in ecological dynamics and complex systems in sport. In this conversatio...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our exploration of football as a complex phenomenon, focusing on sub-groups and local coordination. Beyond the game and team levels, football performance also emerges within smaller units: defensive lines, midfield triangles, or players operating on one side of the pitch. At this scale, what matters is how players coordinate their movements in relation to space, opponents, and one another. We explore how local coordination develops throug...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our exploration of football as a complex phenomenon, focusing on the internal logic of the game and how this logic shapes team-level dynamics. Football is often described through phases of play or isolated tactical actions. From a complex systems perspective, however, the game can be understood as a continuous interaction between two teams, each trying to progress toward its goals while simultaneously preventing the opponent from doing so...
Welcome to the Progressão podcast. Today’s episode starts our discussion on football as a complex phenomenon. This time, we focus especially on the different levels, or scales, of the game. Football is often analysed by breaking it into parts: phases of play, technical actions, tactical structures, or physical demands. While these perspectives can be useful, they can also fragment our understanding of the game. In this episode, we take a different view. We look at football as a complex adapti...
Discussão Mundo Revisited Before we begin, a short note on why we’re sharing this episode again. As Progressão now continues fully in English, we also want to revisit and republish some of our earlier Discussão Mundo episodes — conversations that were listened to the most and that still feel highly relevant today. This episode is one of those. Here, we speak with Niklas Moisander, former captain of the Finnish national team and a player whose career spans Europe’s top leagues and teams such a...
What happens when players become highly technical, but less effective in the game? In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we introduce generic forcing, a concept we developed to describe behaviour where players try to impose rehearsed technical solutions onto the game, instead of adapting their behaviour to what the situation actually offers. We explore how generic forcing emerges when technique is learned and practiced without sufficient connection to real game information. We draw paral...
In this episode of the Progressão podcast, we continue our discussion on skill in football. While skill is often understood as an individual quality — something that belongs to a single player — this episode explores skill from a wider perspective: as a phenomenon that also emerges at the level of groups and teams. We ask why it is important to talk about group-level skill. When skill is understood narrowly as individual technical ability, group-level behaviour is often reduced to tactics and...
Progressão is now in English. This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Progressão podcast. Until now, most of our episodes have been in Finnish. Our book, Progressão – How We Have Misunderstood Football, has been published in Finland and Estonia, receiving very positive and thoughtful reviews in both countries. The book is currently being translated into English, and as part of that process, the Progressão podcast is now fully in English. Progressão is a book, a podcast, and ...
Me emme vielä tiedä, mihin kaikkeen keho kykenee. Tiedämme yhä enemmän, yhä vähemmästä. Mitä jalkapallopeli on ja mitä se voi olla, merkitä, avata tai synnyttää? Kelle peli kuuluu? Kuka sitä pelaa? Mitä on ihmisyys? Tämä on Discussão. Kun joulukuu saapuu, me hiljennymme, mutta ennen sitä avaamme ehkä koko vuoden vaativimman keskustelun. Sisällöltään tihein. Rikkain. Haastavin. Vieraamme Jalmari Nummiluikki haastaa ajattelusi kulkua, kuten Béla Tarrin Sátántangó (7h 15min), joka saa katsojan e...
Tervetuloa Progressãoon. Kylillä liikkuu huhu, että Veikkausliigassa puolustetaan huonosti. Onko se totta? Tässä jaksossa pohdimme, millaista puolustaminen Veikkausliigassa on eri näkökulmista tarkasteltuna: ajatusmaailma ja filosofia puolustamisen takanaprässin jälkeinen vetäytyminen ja jahtaaminenmatala blokki ja boksin puolustaminenvalmentajaprofiilit
Voiko jalkapallossa harjoitella väärin, jopa haitallisesti? Miksi tyhjään maaliin laukominen ei ole sama asia kuin pallon kuljettaminen tötsien välistä? Tässä jaksossa puhumme siitä, miksi monet tekniset harjoitteet eivät oikeasti vastaa pelin todellisuutta. Miten liikkeen rytmi, ajoitus ja havaintojen maailma muuttuvat, kun vastassa onkin oikea pelaaja eikä oranssi tötsä. Miten mielikuvitus ja eläytyminen voivat muuttaa harjoitteen eläväksi – niin, että pelaaja tuntee hetken olevansa Messi. ...
Olemmeko Suomessa tottuneet liian hyviin olosuhteisiin? Lämpimät kopit, tasaiset tekonurmet ja varusteet viimeisen päälle kuulostavat täydelliseltä ympäristöltä pelaajakehitykselle. Mitä jos juuri tämä mukavuus estää pelaajia kasvamasta taitaviksi ja sopeutumiskykyisiksi pelaajiksi? Tällä viikolla keskustelemme siitä, miksi alustan vaihtelut, erilaiset pelimuodot ja pelivälineet voivat auttaa pelaajaa kehittymään. Puhumme myös siitä, mitä tutkimustieto sanoo olosuhteiden ja taidon kehittymise...
Tällä viikolla Discussãon vieraana on historioitsija ja väitöskirjatutkija Lotta Vuorio Helsingin yliopistosta. Lotta tutkii historian ja kulttuuriperinnön merkityksiä nykypäivän yhteiskunnassa ja toimii myös Menneisyyden jäljillä -podcastin juontajana. Akateemisen työnsä ohella hänet tunnetaan jalkapalloerotuomarina niin kotimaisilla kuin kansainvälisillä kentillä. Keskustelemme muun muassa: -1800-luvun Englannin liikuntakokemuksista -miten menneisyys ja nykyhetki kietoutuvat yhteen -m...
Tässä jaksossa keskitytään yhteen pelin haastavimmista hetkistä eli pelin tiloihin, joissa vastustaja kiihdyttää kohti rangaistusaluetta laitamurtautumisen jälkeen. Miten näihin pelin tiloihin voidaan valmistautua edustavalla harjoittelulla? Millaisia haasteita liittyy edustavien harjoitteiden kehittämiseen, kun tavoitteena on saavuttaa huipputason peleille ominainen rytmi ja kiihtyvyys? Keskustelemme siitä, miten valmentajien ja pelaajien taidokas toiminta mahdollistaa vaativien harjoitusym...
Tällä viikolla puhumme siitä, mitä valmentajan tulisi ymmärtää, jos tavoitteena on ura ulkomailla. Avainkysymys on, miten valmentaja osaa huomioida erilaiset kulttuurit hakiessaan töihin ulkomaille. Jakso pohjautuu Janin UEFA Pro -kurssin kokemuksiin, joissa valmentajat vierailivat eri maissa osana lopputyötään. Puhumme erityisesti Irlannin jalkapallokulttuurista ja Shelbourne FC:n arjesta sekä opeista muihin maihin tutustuneilta valmentajilta. Keskustelemme muun muassa: ⚽️ mitä valmentajan...
