In 2024, I started helping younger players during the summers when I’m back home in Södertälje, Sweden. At first, it was mostly about basketball skills – dribbling, shooting, footwork. But I soon realized that it’s just as important to talk basketball – how to think on the court, how to handle pressure, and how to keep growing as a player.
Each summer I take on 1–2 players who are motivated to work hard and chase their own dreams. For me, it’s a way to give back while I’m still on my own journey, and it has been inspiring to share what I’ve learned so far.
Spots for summer 2026 will be announced later. All training will be held in Södertälje, Sweden.

“Simon has been an incredible personal trainer for Leyan. His versatility and experience, despite his young age as a basketball player, allow him to truly support young players in their development – both physically and mentally. He is pedagogical, attentive, and has a natural ability to create a sense of trust – something that has been crucial for Leyan’s motivation and growth. It has been amazing to see how Leyan has developed both as a player and as a person under Simon’s guidance.”

“It was so much fun training with Simon! He brought so much energy all the time and made the practices enjoyable. He helped me improve my individual skills and explained clearly what I could work on. Thanks to him, I now dare to take more space on the court and try new things. We always kept a good pace – really great practices!”
