At NNJF Sports-Consulting Oy, we provide expert consultancy, football management and coaching services designed to help young players succeed. With deep industry experience and strong connections in professional football, we focus on creating real opportunities — through mindset development, personalised training and well-structured programmes — to prepare players for top-level competition.
What we train
Mastering dribbling lets players keep control of the ball while moving past opponents. Focus on close control, using both feet equally and quick changes of direction.
Learn more: Dribbling
Strong defending prevents goals and wins the ball back. Learn proper positioning, effective tackling and communication with teammates to keep a solid shape.
Learn more: Defending
Accurate passing keeps possession and creates chances. Practise short passes, long passes and through balls with both feet — and know when to use each.
Learn more: Passing
Turn chances into goals. Work on power and accuracy with the instep, inside and outside of the foot, as well as volleys and headers.
Learn more: Shooting
Good first-touch control is key to moving from defence to attack. Cushion the ball with feet, thighs, chest and head and keep possession under pressure.
Learn more: Receiving
Keep the right spacing with teammates, anticipate opponents and position yourself to offer passing options, support and cover in every phase of play.
