How to start?
You need to be registered at DBU, and then you can research the courses.

1. UEFA C1 træner


UEFA C1-træner er første trin for alle trænere i den UEFA-godkendte træneruddannelse.
Kurset tager udgangspunkt i uddannelsesformålet ”at skabe gode oplevelser for og udvikling af spilleren med henblik på glæde og fastholdelse”. I DBU tror vi på, at du bliver en bedre træner af at øve dig i at være træner. Derfor vil du fra start på UEFA C1 blive involveret på banen under praktikker, som udgør en stor del af det samlede kursus.

Kurset har stort fokus på selve fodboldspillets karakter med det afsæt, at spillerne skal spille så meget som muligt. Hvad betyder det for valget af træningsaktiviteter, og hvornår og hvordan kan det så alligevel have en effekt at afbryde spillerne og hjælpe dem individuelt eller på holdniveau

Spildesign – ”spillet er træneren”
Spiljustering – observation og tælleteknik
Trænerens hjælp til holdet – med afsæt i FRYS-coaching

KNVB = Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond = Royal Dutch Football Association

 Why the Royal Dutch FA?

One of the most exciting experiences I had was digging into the catalogs in the Amsterdam Archives in 2016. I was looking for more data about my merchant family in the 19th century, who regularly visited Amsterdam. I learned about so many amazing people in a short time. 

Even just the catalogs are magical...

Why more?

Every time, before I got my visa to New Zealand, I had to talk with officers from La Hague.

Why more?

I have a few more people to mention, like a Dutch mentor from the University of Copenhagen.

A Polish-Dutch Art PhD person who graduated from the London Art Academy. She was pregnant at the same time, like me, and we gave birth on the same week... 

What helped to get to understand the logic?

Mentalization on what Arne Slot would do in Liverpool F.C.

What was the first course I took?

It was connected with cards! The referee's cards :)))

KNVB = Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond = Royal Dutch Football Association

Where to start?

https://www.knvb.nl/assist-scheidsrechters/opleidingen/e-learningmodules-knvb-academie

The aim of the module is:

To learn about your role as an assistant referee. You will learn about your contact with the referee and how you position yourself towards the teams. You will learn about your tasks in the match and you will learn what resistance is and how to deal with it.

2. Mentale weerbaarheid scheidsrechters = Mental resilience of referees

About the course:

Participants go through a digital competition day and gain insight into the different choices they can make to prevent resistance.

Your role as referee together with the players you are responsible for a sporting match. As a referee, you play a serving role together with the assistants to make that possible.

In this way, you contribute to a sporting competition that takes place according to the rules, in a pleasant atmosphere and without incidents.

How to do that, you will learn in this online course. We start with an exercise. On the next screen, you will see a video about an important phase of a match.

And at the contacts you make with all the people involved in the match: the people in the boardroom, the assistants, the captains and coaches, and the players on the field. We start with the way you approach people in everyday life.

VV = Voetbal Vlaanderen = The Royal Belgian FA + ING Bank

Why did I start to study here?

Because I cut out a piece of my mother's pink silk dress, when I was less than 6 years old to make a beautiful dress for my Barbie. The dress was from Belgium. It was or still an issue...

My excuse was that a designer needs the best material. I wanted my Barbie to be as beautiful as my mother was in her dress :))))

Why more?

Because one of the main sponsors for the Royal Belgian FA is ING Bank.

Why was it important?

As my ING Bank card was one of the reasons I survived Paris in 2014! Already it had a very high security system, plus several levels of activation options...

At least I am sure you also like St Patrick's Day and drink a beer or wear some green.

When did I first celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

When did I first look for the gold under the rainbow?

I was around 3-4 years old when I was sure I could arrive at the beginning of the rainbow and convince the Leprechaun to give me all his gold.

Why?

Hungarians love Italy.

Why? Because of the many Kings.

Why more? As in the 9th century, Hungarians went everywhere. When Denmark was paying taxes to the Bremen Bishops, the Hungarians were going around Milan, Munich, and other places to "collect" their "own taxes"... and it goes on and on...

Would it be enough to start Safeguarding courses in Football at the FIGC?

Nope.

So why?

I studied Italian for 1 year in the gymnasium.

Why more?

Why more?

I have traveled several times to Italy.

What was the first Football related course I finished last year? UDEMY and more

 On the 6th of November 2024, I finished last year the first Football-related course.

It was an Udemy course with Sam Farmer.

Title: Coaching Kids Soccer 101

https://www.udemy.com/share/102bQE/

The aim of the course:

- Know the basics of coaching kids and your own kid

- Build a team to have fun practices and successful games

- Select or create a season-long training curriculum

- Motivate parents

Why did I do it?

As you know recently I started a new volunteering position to coach kids football in my younger son's group.

I started to play some level of football when I was young, my father taught me. He taught my sister as well. In primary school, we had football classes, and I was a member of the handball team, then for a short time the athletic team, but my favorite was inline skating. 

In 2023 Summer, our older son started with the summer one-week camp, then the semester, then the 2024 Summer one-week camp, semester again, and he has already registered for the 2025 Summer camp as well.

Our younger son started this year in March his official football training, so it is his second semester. 

I wanted to take it more seriously to be a volunteer coach, so I started to look for several courses and certificate programs, check out a lot of books, and create a new IG for promoting coaching and football. 

Nope, it was not in 2024, but in 2016, when I was just dreaming about my future kids... 

Why do I post this picture here?

As I wear an Italian and Hungarian crystal leather armband, it will give a lot of meaning soon in the next post... and how football is so important...

PS. distraction is important :D :D :D

Nah, what was the next Football related course I took from UDEMY? It is not chronological, but source origin order... how I list the different football courses, I finished and took.

Kick the ball, and run

 As a young child, I grew up with my maternal grandparents as my parents were busy studying at the medical university. I was not the only child in Hungary who had this family life track. 

I had a lot of old friends, millions of grandmothers and grandfathers around me. 

If you think that my grandparents were less busy than my parents, you are wrong.

What was the difference?

They had more nerve...

Why? My grandparents survived WWII. I was the second generation to be raised by them. 

When did I hear first time, kick the ball, and run?

In my grandparents' garden. 

Who told it to me?

My grandmother.

Yes, Faktis, mothers and grandmothers, it is you! It is you who are responsible for starting your kids' sports activity.
