Our Global SC staff and coaches from across North America had the distinct opportunity to interview Helgi Kolviðsson, a former FSV Mainz 05 player and Iceland international who now coaches at SC Pfullendorf.
Coach Kolviðsson served as an assistant coach on the Iceland National Team that competed in the 2018 World Cup – the smallest nation to ever compete in the world’s biggest competition! Helgi described the country’s preparation and what it was like to plan for their opener with Argentina (vs. Messi, Aguero, etc.) – a game they tied 1-1. He also went over the mindset and abilities necessary for young players to compete at that level.
For soccer players interested in individualized instruction and coaching as a supplement to their club and high school experiences – including training, guest play, travel, and pathway counseling, contact us today to begin your journey!
Thank you, Helgi, Mainz 05 and Schächter Sports GmbH!
