May 2020 - Present
My job is to assess young talented German players from elite Bundesliga academies and senior semi-professional teams given their video material. Based on the profile and highlight video I create for a player, including his strengths, weaknesses and evaluation, the player is marketed across North America in hopes of securing a scholarship to a top university program (NCAA, NAIA, USports). Players have been signed to prestigious and successful universities, such as Harvard, Missouri State, University of Virginia, University of California Santa Barbara, and the University of Toronto. Our player Jasper Loeffelsend has recently been drafted to the MLS franchise Real Salt Lake. Skills acquired through this position include scouting, marketing, and video software Pinnacle Studio.

Skills Coach
-
Oct 2021 - Jul 2022
I coach youth teams ranging from U10 to U17 and different skill levels. My job is to teach and improve basic but important soccer skills. This position is teaching me multiple soft skills, such as communication and creativity. Managing different field and team sizes, age groups and skill levels often requires creativity and adaptation skills, to set up a fun, effective, and challenging training session, based on a specific theme. It has also massively improved my communication skills, to help players as much as I can, but also to build a connection with people. This position also suits my knowledge about soccer, as I can assess a player accurately and can give specific advice and training to the kids to improve their game. Show less

I was responsible for product display and customer care, mostly in the running and hiking departments. The job taught me valuable sales, communication, and organization skills. While having to look after multiple customers simultaneously, I had to work in a fast-paced environment. During my time at Decathlon in Berlin, the branch had the highest sales in all of Europe, mainly as a consequence of successful teamwork, the team's competitive spirit and our passion for sports.
