Alexis
Mitrovgenis
Goalkeeper Coach
Goalkeeper coach. Played football at division 2 level for 20 years. He made his debut in division 2 at the age of 15 for Karlskrona AIF. He then represented IFK Fjärås, Lerkils IF and Angered BK. Alexis has also played in Greece at a high level for two years.
Alexis' coaching career is not long but has managed to coach Hovås Bildal's women's team division 2, and Angered BK men's division 2. He is also part of and has been responsible for goalkeepers at IFK Gothenburg's all camps. Has completed coach education SvFF Gk D and Gk B.
The most important thing as a coach and person is that I try to simplify the trainings by breaking down the exercises and explaining in detail so the goalkeeper learns the right basics and at the same time add that little extra to challenge the goalkeeper and not be in the comfort zone.
I Believe in a fearless goalkeeper who tries to influence the future and not think too much about the mistakes that just happened during the game. Communication is a part that belongs to being fearless, daring to say to your teammates and being a leader from behind.

Sanmir
Omerovic
Mental Coach & Hypnosis Therapist
Mental coach and hypnosis therapist. He grew up in Croatia and already as a 6-year-old started wrestling and at the age of 15 he was a junior champion in the former Yugoslavia. That experience has helped him understand the importance of physical discipline, mental attitude and how our brain works and how much our emotions control us. The right attitude is necessary for success no matter what you do in life.
In addition to physics, technology, tactics, etc., it takes a little more to stay focused on the right things, focus the whole match no matter what puts pressure or distracts you. You should be able to make mistakes and not fall. To be able to cope with adversity and control your emotions. Perform at the highest level and be happy training after training, match after match is a goal that we want you to achieve.
