Kenn Schmidt Nielsen founded the Global Football Training project back in 2010, a Danish football initiative aimed at enhancing the development of young players. Drawing on his extensive coaching experience, he strives to incorporate the best practices from around the world to improve player growth.

​

Over the course of nearly three years, Global Football Training traveled across countries and continents, studying and analyzing coaching techniques, cultural approaches, football philosophies, and talent development systems worldwide. The result of this global exploration is a “truly unique coaching method designed to produce a new generation of more intelligent footballers.”

​

Many football clubs use similar methods, causing players to think and play in the same way, even at the highest level. With the Global Football Training curriculum, the aim is to break free from this cycle of conformity and increase the chances that more players will reach the professional and international stage.

With over 25 years of coaching experience, Kenn Schmidt Nielsen holds a UEFA A-license, coached a Danish U21 team to a National Championship victory, and has worked as a coaching consultant for the Danish Football Association (DBU).
