Vitalii N.

I've spent over two decades diving, catching, and leading on the football field as a professional goalkeeper in Ukrainian first and premier league. When I decided to make the transition from player to coach, it became an exciting and successful journey for me. I immersed myself in art of coaching, I know different techniques, tactics and strategies and have tones of experience. I have a category C coaching license of the UEFA. I wanted to be the best coach I could be for my players.
Now, as a coach, I'm dedicated to passing on the knowledge and skills I've acquired throughout my career. I offer personalized coaching sessions tailored to the needs of aspiring goalkeepers, whether they're just starting out or looking to refine their techniques.
My goal is to inspire and empower the next generation of goalkeepers to reach their full potential on and off the field.
I spent the last years of my career as a playing coach. I became a mentor for my younger colleagues, coached goalkeepers at the Volyn Children's Football Academy, where children aged 6 to 16 trained. I also repeatedly conducted personal training for the national team players. 2 of my sons are succesful players also, they play for Monterey Surf and show great results.

I'm an experienced professional goalkeeper with more than 20 years of experience in soccer. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of playing at the highest level in the Ukrainian Soccer League, mainly representing the Volyn Football Club. With over 300 games under my belt, I've achieved success in league competitions and cup matches.
