Volodymyr H.

I have experience coaching and playing soccer at both the youth and adult levels. I previously played professional soccer in Ukraine and later continued working with players in Poland, including coaching U19 athletes. I am now based in Illinois, where I coach at StaticX Soccer Academy. I currently work with multiple youth age groups, including players ages 6–7, 8–9, and 10–12. In addition to team training, I also provide individual coaching for players ages 6 through adult, including both boys and girls. My focus is on helping each player improve technique, confidence, and game understanding in a positive and supportive training environment
Please note that I currently do not speak English and I am not able to communicate verbally in English. Training instructions are provided through demonstrations and simple communication tools. If needed, a translator or support person may assist during sessions
I speak Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish

I am a former professional soccer player who competed at the highest level in both Ukraine and Poland. During my career I also played in the UEFA Europa League and gained experience competing against top-level international clubs. I progressed through all youth national team levels up to the Ukraine U21 setup, which helped shape my technical ability, tactical understanding, and professionalism. My playing background allows me to bring a high standard of training and game insight to every athlete I work with

A typical session with me focuses on developing strong technical and game skills through structured and progressive training. Each session is customized to the player’s level so that they train at the right pace and difficulty for their development. We normally begin with a proper warm-up and coordination work, followed by ball-control drills to improve first touch, dribbling, passing, movement, positioning, striking, and 1v1 situations. All exercises are game-related so the player understands when and how to use each skill. We finish with shooting or small-sided play and feedback. My goal is to help every player improve their technique, confidence, and decision-making in a positive and disciplined environment.
