How you will learn
Learning Method
To improve individual impact, you will engage in active, structured reflection and analysis. At regular intervals, you’ll study a new Game Action through examples featuring some of the players we work with, as well as other top-level professionals. After learning to identify the new Game Action, you will analyze footage of similar top players—or, when available and of sufficient quality, footage of the players you coach yourself. This approach challenges you to think critically and independently, helping you develop deep and lasting insights.
SmartCoach
Throughout the course, you will work extensively with our proprietary analysis tool, SmartCoach. This platform allows you to analyze matches from an individual perspective, focusing on every choice and execution. By consistently using Smart Coach, you’ll quickly develop a heightened awareness of the decisions, consequences, and optimal executions involved in individual actions.
Teachers
Kevin Brander
Co-Founder
Co-owner, performance coach and teacher at Smart11. Since 2018, I have been working as a performance coach primarily for professional football players. Also, I am a teacher for the courses and programs offered at Smart11. I derive the most satisfaction from moments when a player or student gains a new insight, which is why I ask (a lot) of questions, try to empathize with the student’s practice at their club, and encourage them to think progressively.
Niek Vreeman
Football Analyst & Coach
Since 2021, I’ve been involved in individual-level analysis at Smart11, which has completely transformed my understanding of football. This approach has not only shaped me as a coach but also as a player, allowing me to see the game in a whole new light. I’m passionate about sharing this knowledge with others, and I truly believe that focusing on individual performance can significantly change the way we experience and improve in football.
Gijs Tuinder
Football Analyst & Coach
Since 2021, I have been working at Smart11. Football is my greatest passion, and my time at Smart11 has fundamentally changed the way I see the game. I apply the methodology daily as a performance coach and trainer, and I’ve seen firsthand how it provides players with concrete, detail-oriented tools to improve and take ownership of their development. It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness players and coaches who are curious, driven to improve, and committed to applying what they’ve learned in practice. Over time, I’ve come to realize that this methodology can be effectively applied at every level of the game. My mission aligns perfectly with that of Smart11: to support every ambitious player in their development.
