You want to coach successfully in soccer? Then think like management in business! The background to this statement is that successful coaches now increasingly have competencies that top managers in business also use to score points. In order to develop team members and to integrate young, success-hungry players into a team, some skills are important prerequisites. These include communication, teamwork, decision-making and innovation skills, as well as holistic thinking, authenticity, emotionality, and technical and methodological competence.

For soccer coaches, there is now much more at stake than just sporting success. In order to survive in an environment characterized by emotionality, impatience and media pressure, the coach must embody a strong, modern leader. We lay the foundation for this in our virtual 4-week program.

Future-oriented teaching takes place virtually! We at the International Football Institute (IFI) understand your needs and know that you cannot and do not want to be tied to a fixed location or fixed times when it comes to your own education and training. We have responded to this.

For us it is clear: You have every chance to become even better, even from home or on the road. We always provide you with the latest input at the highest academic level. Always with the aim of further qualifying you in your current field of activity. And we do it as conveniently and flexibly as possible.

Why we can do that? Since its foundation ten years ago, the IFI has pursued an innovative approach to learning. That’s why our hands-on education and training programs have always been semi-virtual . Based on this experience and our professional expertise, we are able to offer you a four-week special program in the area of trainer selection and development. It focuses specifically on trainer competencies, selection criteria and methods, and selected development tools for trainers*.

GET THE POINT: By participating in a virtual 4-week program, you can earn one experience point toward the entrance exam process for DFB coach education programs.

For a person in charge of soccer, there is now much more at stake than just sporting success. In order to survive in an environment highly characterized by emotionality, impatience and media pressure, he or she must embody a strong, modern leader.
