Jonas O.

I started coaching in 2012, when I took over the girls u-12 team back in Norway. I spent two full seasons with them, and though I loved the responsibility, I found myself thriving with developing individual players. Since then I've coached in Norway, the UK and the US, from girls u9 to boys u15. I have a very detailed approach on how to develop players, and prefer to get to know the individual I'm working with to see where we can improve. I help players: improve technique, gain speed, increase power, agility and balance, building muscle though weights and diet, and teaching them how to deal with the pressure of playing competitive games at any level.

I've played soccer since I was 5 years old, and started playing at a high level in Europe when I was 14. I played 5 seasons at a very high level in Norway and England, before travelling to the US at 21 to pursue coaching and player development

Firstly, we talk about strenghts and weaknesses. Then we consider positions, before we set up a session plan that will help you improve in real life - scenarios on the field. Session plans are tailored to the player and their needs, which makes it a lot more beneficial. One session we might work on speed, strength and finishing, and the next one we focus on precision, team play and set pieces.
