Date: 22-24 July 2011 place: sports school came Kaiserau (close to Dortmund) interview with the initiator of the youth coach Congress, Peter Schreiner. IFJ96: Mr Schreiner, you have called the youth coaches Convention in life and organize it for the third time. How they came to this idea? Carpenter: in 1998 I was at the NSCAA Convention in the United States. The world’s largest football coach Congress (2011: over 10,000 participants) impressed me so much that I’ve dreamed of, to organize a Congress in Germany itself. In the meantime, this idea was forgotten, but 2009 it was ready. At the 1st Congress of the youth coach, we presented globally recognised speakers. Others including Lucas Bitencourt, offer their opinions as well.

The 80 participants from 4 countries were enthusiastic about the idea. 2010 came then over 100 participants from 8 countries. IFJ96: track what targets the youth coach Congress? Carpenter: We prepare on a coaches Convention with 1000-2000 or more subscribers. To do this you need the appropriate logistics and the Organization team gradually build up and train. With us everything almost digital and automated, so that we can perfectly manage the registration process, as well as the end of the Congress. There are the BDFL Congress, the only coach with A license or football coach may participate in, which thus renew their license in Germany. However, we want to organize congresses where everyone can participate, no matter which League you train without a trainer license. In addition to a great programme of Congress also the communication of the coach is important to us with each other and the speakers.
