Teimuraz "Temo" Apriamashvili

JäPS, Head of Coaching

Together with Temo, we carried out a four-session observation process aimed at making his own behavioural patterns visible and using that awareness to build the conditions for peak experiences.

During the process, my biggest insight was understanding more deeply how important the coach's communication, presence, and the training environment are for player development. I learned to observe my own actions more consciously and to notice more clearly how my way of being in training affects the players. My way of working in training and with the players has become calmer, more structured, and more participatory. I listen more, observe more carefully, and give players more opportunities to discover and solve situations themselves.

I recommend this kind of process to coaches and clubs that want to develop coaching in a practical but also deeper way. The process helps you look at your own actions from a new perspective and gives tools for everyday coaching work.

Toni Anttila

HPS, Head of Coaching (Girls)

Together with Toni, we carried out a four-session observation process aimed at making his own behavioural patterns visible and using that awareness to build the conditions for peak experiences.

The final training session was especially memorable. I noticed that I was actively thinking about the things that can help create the conditions for a peak experience. I applied them consciously and was also able to observe how this affected the players. During the training, I began to pay more attention to how I am present in training sessions and how I communicate with the players.

My way of being in training sessions and with the players has become calmer and slightly more analytical. I now observe more consciously how my own interaction affects the players during practice. I would recommend this kind of experience to coaches and clubs because it offers a new perspective on player development through the coach's own actions.

Ilpo "Ile" Verno

Head Coach, HPS boys born in 2013

We worked with Ile for about a year. The goal was to review his coaching style holistically, create peak experiences through it, and transfer the key learnings to the wider coaching team

Mirko helped me understand that coaching is not only about what you say, but above all about how you say it. The results were clearly visible: the atmosphere in training became more energetic and dynamic, and I gained clear tools for addressing situations on the field in the right way.

Mirko's expertise and practical guidance have been extremely valuable. I warmly recommend Mirko to anyone who wants to develop their coaching communication and create a positive, goal-oriented environment within their team.

Joni Knuutinen

HPS, Head of Coaching (Boys)

We worked with Joni through a four-session observation package. The goal was to make his coaching patterns visible and to build peak experiences in training systematically through playfulness.

What especially stayed with me from the final training session was the emphasis on bringing playfulness into every part of the practice. I succeeded in "lifting" the atmosphere of the games to a level that felt exceptionally positive, visible as strong engagement and effort during play.

A coach's skillful interaction has a significant impact on players' energy levels and learning. This has been discussed before, of course, but the training provided concrete tools for creating peak experiences and meaningful training environments for players.

We Noticed the Lack of Ability to Analyze Coaches Subconscious

Almost all the coaches want to help their players in the holistic way. But most of the time, it hasn't been done individually, tailored, or (time) efficiently to the players. We believe one of the aspects is that the coaches are unaware of their own behavior and how it effects to the players.

We Provide the Ability to Analyze Coaches Subconscious

In our tailored programs we are combining three essential parts:

• Our deep understanding of scientific knowledge on the subconscious
• Years of experience on being football coach as well as mental coach
• Research work connected to the Master's Programme in Coaching at the University of Jyväskylä, exploring how coaches' unconscious behaviour contributes to peak experiences in training environments
