The Pons Method: A Journey Through Resistance, Innovation, and the Future of Football
Look, speaking honestly, I will tell you that as soon as I presented the methodology of the Pons method on July 15, 2020, I presented it to FIFA, and the director of innovation at the time, very young, about 30 I imagine, the age to still be playing soccer, a FIFA member? And director of innovation?
Oh my God, he didn’t understand anything, he told me that they don’t deal with training methodologies, they deal with the VAR, the SMART ball, the grass x, I don’t remember anymore.
The question is, don’t you think that this position should be for someone with experience who knows what they are talking about, a former coach, a renowned former sports director? And the second question is how do institutions move by performance or by appearances and by finger-pointing?
My experience with UEFA, well as a UEFA pro licence member I did not receive an answer.
Well, I have the federations left, I presented it to my own, the Royal Spanish Football Federation, and after an hour of explaining some guidelines of the methodology since there was no time for more.
I asked what they thought, look at the answer to the presentation of the most innovative methodology and improvement of tangible training processes, what did you think? Well, it’s that I don’t train like that. The question is, do you think that if someone trained like that, would it be innovative, and would I have spent zero profit on presenting it to my federation, UEFA and FIFA? And the question is, who works in these organizations? People prepared at 100%?
The question is, don’t you think that these positions should be for someone with experience who knows what they are talking about, what it means to train at a high level, what it means to direct at a high level, and what it means to innovate something, whatever it is, in short, have you been a former elite coach, a former renowned sports director?
And the second question is how institutions move by performance or by appearances and by finger-pointing?
There is still a lot to improve, ladies and gentlemen, this is said by someone who has touched it with his fingers and who shared its methodology from minute zero, do not hesitate before the amount of improvements it brought. And the story ends here, I simply do where my capacity for diffusion reaches, gentlemen. I am sorry if it does not reach more people.
Now I am in Thailand where I created this methodology during the lockdown, when a coach had time that he doesn’t have, and where I have dedicated these years body and soul to it for various reasons but one is my great love for football and being able to help many people and of course achieve high performance with hardly any resources.
Multiplying factors and processes of efficiency and productivity. It reflects one more anecdote of how the best methodology of all time has been forged and I will tell it more, look, thanks for the part that touches me during the pandemic, a coach myself was able to dedicate myself to creating this modern training methodology and the other methodology that a coach created was the Coerver Method. Both based on the basis of repetition and correction as the basis of their philosophy.
The others who have created a methodology have always been from The Prism and The Focus of Physical Trainers.
Don’t you think that before referring to the analytical training blah blah, that YES the correction blah blah, that YES the repetition blah blah through absolute truths you should have some respect more than anything because none of those who have spoken, neither university professors nor top trainers, have innovated absolutely anything in their glorious career?
I don’t think that neither coerver nor I would think of saying that global training is useless… because it has always been and will always be part of my methodological recipe.
Look before innovating this methodology The Pons Method my own federation commented in its methodology classes that Analytical training was useless for professionals.
I was already laughing at one more absolute truth. Years later, it was observed how the best coaches in the world and we ourselves used systematic analytical training to enrich our game model and above all to begin to provide our players with synergies, timings, processes, patterns that now The Pons Method has been in charge of maximizing exponentially and up to here. I am in Phuket relaxing and in the end you will know everything about me. But that does not matter, what is truly important is that every detail of another methodology is recorded, more than anything because you do not have to BE very smart to understand that with AI we have started a new era and more will come.
Just as The Pons Method will not stop growing, thanks to AI to you and above all to the protagonists, THE PLAYERS and Football
