16. Conclusion
In conclusion
o Football is a high maintenance sport
o Frequent screening sessions allow the staff to create an atmosphere in
which the player is comfortable to mention all types of issues
(biopsychosocial).
o This is often important information in order to adapt and monitor injury
prevention sessions, secondary and tertiary prevention.
o This information is also of importance to the head coach and physical coach
in order to individualize trainings.
 In light of these conclusions I would advice to organize a weekly
screening moment in order to profit maximally from it’s
advantages
