#16 Norbert Banoocy: How Being Persistent Led To An MLS Championship
Show Notes

This week on the World of Sports Performance Podcast we are speaking with Norbert Banoocy. Norbert was previously a Physical Preparation Coach for HJK Helsinki in Finland and prior to that he worked with Atlanta FC, where he won a MLS Championship! Norbert and I had similar paths, as we both moved to the USA early on in our lives, so it was nice hearing his experience. We discuss his career in soccer and how it led him to Finland. He also tells us about a means of travel for away games that we’ve never heard of before on the podcast! In this episode we discuss


  • Moving to the USA as a teenager
  • What drove Norbert to be a physical preparation coach for soccer
  • First opportunity with Atlanta United FC 
  • Strength and Conditioning for soccer
  • Moving to Finland 
  • Experiencing a different type of travel than usual
