Aim: This work, implementative (applicative) in nature, raises issues related to the modeling of individual performance in high-risk situations. Assuming that individual actions are the basis for a team`s game, praxeological assessment was conducted regarding the game of individuals in high-risk situations. These activities, due to the specificity of sports games (group pressing) and major difficulty of execution (action in discomfort), constitute a significant element, which in the modern game becomes the necessity for organized training. Basic procedures: Evaluation of actions in difficult situations was conducted on the example of the performance of the Polish football national team and their rivals during the EURO 2012 tournament (observation of 152 players). The study used the method of noted observation, which was based on direct secondary observation (DVD material), with the possibility to repeatedly replay the events that were the subject of research. The resulting data were recorded on a praxeological observation sheet. Results and conclusions: Data analysis allowed to determine the level of individual actions in situations of risk, which for the purposes of application determines not only the evaluation of these actions against the dominant football teams in Europe, but above all sets the direction of modeling games in the organized training of football players in Poland.
