Hello I'm Yilmaz Sahin

UEFA-A Football Coach

About Me

Yilmaz Sahin

Tallinn, Estonia

I am an experienced coach from Türkiye, Portugal, and Estonia, with a background in various levels of football for both men and youth football.

In addition to being a UEFA-A candidate coach, I am a certified Tactical Periodization coach and hold a Master's degree in motivation as well as a Bachelor's degree in football coaching. I also possess an EKR-6 certificate from the Estonian Olympic Committee, which is a master-level coaching qualification.

With over 10 years of coaching, I have grown tremendously, gaining invaluable experience in human management, achieving short-term results, and building a foundation for sustainable long-term development.

Why do I coach?

My coaching philosophy is to add value to my players, by creating an environment to allow them to grow as a person and discover themselves within a football context.

How do I coach?

Reflecting on my international experiences, and supporting them with my academic studies and additional methodologies. Being aware of cultural demands in different environments and understanding football development across youth, senior, and women's football in various contexts. Implementing methodological steps both on and off the pitch to achieve short-term results and long-term development.
