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 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.

In this first English-language episode, we turn to a fundamental and often-debated topic: skill in football. We discuss how skill is commonly understood, why traditional views can be limiting, and how skill can be seen as an embodied, relational phenomenon that emerges in the game itself.

Listeners familiar with our earlier Discussão Mundo episodes may recognise some of the themes. Those episodes include conversations with Niklas Moisander (Episode 102), Duarte Araújo (Episode 75), and Jamie Hamilton (Episode 164).

This episode serves as an introduction to our English-speaking journey and sets the foundation for future discussions on learning, training, and coaching in football.
