Anyone know anything about some guy named Zivan who use to train that sports zone team? Looks like he is now at the bolts and I was curious if anyone had opinions on him. Thanks in advance

My daughter used to train w/ him (he never actually coached her) when she did the winter training at the Sports Zone a couple of years ago. I thought he was a very good trainer and did a great job keeping all of the kids engaged with a variety of drills. He also pushed the kids hard which I liked. -
He is tough, but extremely effective and experienced. He is amazingOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Zivan's bio (from SZ United website): UEFA (United European Football Association) "A" Diploma (Highest in the world) - UEFA Professional License (Highest in the world) - Participated in FC Red Star Belgrade (Serbia), FC Partizan Belgrade (Serbia) & FC PAOK (Greece) soccer academies & coaching clinics to explore young talents development - Serbian National Team Youth Coach (Macva Region) - Former Pro Player for FC Loznica (Yugoslavia) - Played 400 matches with Yugoslavia National Team
Yes, SZ United is deadComment

400 matches with Yugo Nat'l Team?! IMPOSSIBLE! The Yugo Nat'l team probably hasn't played 400 matches in their existence! A single player MAY play a total of 100 times for their country. To play 400 times would mean a 100 year playing career!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

it doesn't say what kind of matches. maybe not all international matches - but does that really mean he isn't experienced? and you may want to do a history lesson about Yugoslavia.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

you can't fake those coaching licenses. doesn't that prove he is qualified enough to coach for THE BOLTS?? waste your energy doubting someone else's qualifications. this guy is the real deal. way better than anything else the bolts have to offerOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It does seem like he has a great resume. So what does SZ do nowComment

My friend's son trained with him. He is a very good trainer.Comment

Yeah my kid said he was "hard" at tryouts. From what I saw it looked like a good amount of the sz united teams showed up for the bolts tryouts as well.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Thanks for the feedback on him everyone. I like that they added more resources to the bolts and really like that they will push harder with this new trainer/coach.
Thanks again everyoneComment

Is he a trainer for them or is he going to be coaching a team. If coaching, what team?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

He was working with the U10 and U11 boys at the time. Not 100% sure if he will just train or coach tbhOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Zivan is the best trainer around, without question. Uefa A license. Experience, his training sessions are highly engineered and effective. I am not a Sz parent, but my son took private lessons from him...he is also very willing to share his immense knowledge base with coaches, another plus when working with him. Bolts have a good one there...Tim SOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I think he is a good technical trainer but like a lot of these guys they don't do well with the tactical elements of the game. Also, he has a lot less patience with players that are not as skilled. Overall an improvement for them though.Comment
