"Digitalization is now an integral part of football and coaching education."
"We used to print out a lot and were drawing on playing field foils. Our main goal is to prepare our coaches as best as possible for their clubs and to replace analogue with digital tools as quickly as possible. With coachbetter, we offer our coaches the opportunity to work with digital tools to design their training sessions and activities. The platform immediately added value and is very popular with all our coaches."
"For us, the coach is the key to everything."
"We want to promote the best education for all coaches, regardless of whether they work for professional or grassroot clubs. We want to address every coach according to his or her individual needs and provide digital solutions right from the start. This is possible for us by using coachbetter and its functions."
At SHFV, coaching education integrates digital solutions right from the start
The Schleswig-Holstein Football Federation (SHFV) is one of the 21 regional associations of the German Football Federation (DFB), making it part of the largest sports association in the world. In terms of quantity, the area of coaching qualification has the largest number of offers at SHFV, which underlines the high priority given to coaching education. At the same time, more and more emphasis is placed on the integration of digital solutions.
For this reason, coachbetter was implemented as integral part of coaching education. To promote working digitally, every coach receives free access to the platform with all its functions right from the start. The aim is to give all coaches a tool that supports them with their daily tasks, but at the same time supports their development and education.
After successfully completing the UEFA License, all coaches keep access to the learning content and session plans of the football federation in coachbetter. Like that, every coach has access to his or her own as well expert knowledge, anywhere at anytime. This ensures that the SHFV and DFB philosophy is carried into all clubs within the region and that every player is offered the best possible training and coaching on and off the pitch.
