SPORT PEDAGOGY IN GAME ANALYSIS: TENSIONS AND HUMANIZING ALTERNATIVES BASED ON THE WRITINGS OF MICHEL FOUCAULT AND BYUNG-CHUN HANThe text aims to show that, if one day the power in the relationship between coach and player in football was based on physical preparation, currently power finds other ways to legitimize itself. Byung-Chul Han observes that it is not through imposition, but through seduction based on data that we are controlled in contemporary times, in what he calls smart power. From this, we note that the emergence of the game analyst, coinciding with this period, is anchored in the capture and transmission of information (originating from data) to support more effective decision-making by the coach. We suggest, however, an essential dimension for the analyst: pedagogy. It is essential to understand that the game belongs to the player and, therefore, instead of monitoring whether the coach’s plan is being followed (or not), the analyst’s role should be to create a learning environment, with dialogue and challenges, promoting autonomy in gameplay.
