record number of coaches registered and attended the
course on Developing the Creative Personality of Female
Players this past Sunday. Over 60 coaches and 17
clubs attended the sessions.
"Unbelievable! Never have we had that many
coaches attend a course like this. It's
great!" said Gantzhorn, former Women's National
Team coach and former Director of Coaching Education for
the FBU region of Denmark. Keld Gantzhorn was
responsible for setting up the program before leaving

personality in female players. Coaches spent
6 and 1/2 hours on Sunday observing training
sessions conducted by George Sasvari,
participating as players, and in the classroom
reviewing the curriculum. Additionally this
week, a different group of players are being
taught each night for 2 hours as directed by the

this past Autumn coaching Odense Boldklub has exposed
his passion for creative players. "The
experience of learning the Danish/Scandinavian style of
defending and combining it with the attacking mentality
we promote in our American style has both re-affirmed my
philosophy on creative players and showed me it can be
combined with the discipline defending that Danish
players bring to football.

Boldklub defeat 3rd place Skovbakken on the road!
09/04/05
9:00 PM
SKOVBAKKEN, DENMARK
(Sunday, September 04, 2005) – Odense
Boldklub shocked Skovbakken with a 1-0 victory
over the 3rd place team at their ground and in
front of their home crowd. After a 0-0
halftime score line, OB scored 15 minutes into the
second half when Nanna Rasmussen scored on a near
post shot from the left side. Maria Juul
played the ball wide to Rasmussen who got behind
the Skovbakken defense. The goal was crowded
with near and far post runners freezing the GK and
Rasmussen finished with a blast between the GK and
the post. Nanna Rasmussen was the player
who's family hosted FC America player from
Orlando, Melissa Battista.
The
victory was the first shutout for OB and the
second game without a loss (OB tied Team Viborg
1-1 in their last game). It also moved OB
into 7th place but only 1 point out of 5th and
within reach of the bronze medal 3rd place
spot. "I was really happy for the
girls. I'll live to coach another day, but
for these girls who made such a huge investment in
hard work, emotional commitment, energy, and
focus, they really needed this to validate the
themselves as a team on the rise" said George
Sasvari.
Goalkeeper
Stinna Lykke (national team under 21 player) made
several saves in the next 15 minutes to frustrate
Skovbakken. Defenders Maria Claussen, Stine
Baagoe, and Signe Dali chased and harassed
Skovbakken's star forwards Lene Jensen, Nanna
Johannsen. Midfielders Juul, Rasmussen,
Lonne Godskesen, and Stine Kristensen consistently
put together strings of passes and created
multiple chances to score as well as pressured
opposing players into mistakes. OB's
forwards Stella Godwin (Nigerian National team)
and Rikke Kroner combined with each other and the
midfield almost getting a 2nd goal that would have
out the game out of reach for Skovbakken.

ODENSE, DENMARK
(Saturday, August 20, 2005) – "Something I'll remember for the rest of my
life" was how sixteen year old Melissa Battista characterized her
stay with Odense Boldklub in Denmark's Elite Division (3F League).
After spending the past 2 weeks training and playing 3 matches, Battista
brings home international experience to her U17 Kumba team. She
finished out her stay in a tough match against Brondby, the league
defending champions.
Brondby
started the game with 7 full internationals that start for the Denmark
Women's National team while OB's starting line-up was an average of 18
years old. Sixteen year-old Battsita started in central midfield and
chased Gitte Anderson, Anne Dot Eggers, Catherine Paaske-Sorensen for most
of the match before leaving with 5 minutes left.
All three players
represented Denmark in the European Championships this past July in
England.

wins 3-1 as Battista sets up the go ahead goal

ODENSE, DENMARK
(Wednesday, August 10, 2005) – Sixteen year old Melissa Battista set up the go ahead goal
just before halftime for Odense Boldklub's (OB) FA Cup match last night
against Kolding in Denmark. OB took the lead midway through the
first half 1-0 off an Eva Vester goal and was sitting fairly comfortable
when Kolding scored a tying goal against the run of play. Then in
the 42nd minute Battista ran down a ball outside the penalty area, turned
back to the inside and sent a bending ball to Ndidi Kanu outside the top
of the arc. The Nigerian pushing up from her stopper position sent
her 2nd touch screaming over the keeper's head and just under the cross
bar. OB went into halftime with the 2-1 lead and never looked back.
OB
went on to score a 3rd goal and win 3-1 while dominating the remainder of
the game having just missed scoring a 4th and 5th goal. For Battista,
who left the game in the 65 minute, it was a satisfying feeling to
contribute to the team. "Hopefully I can do more in the next
game and end with more than one assist." said Battista. Odense
Boldklub plays on the road this Sunday against league champions and famous
perennial power Brondby. Battista is expected to play against 7 full
internationals in the match which the defending champions are heavily
favored to win as OB may be missing 3 more starters due to injury.

ODENSE, DENMARK
(Wednesday, August 3, 2005) – Melissa Battista ,
16 years old, joins her club coach George Sasvari for a
true international experience representing FC America
Soccer Academy (FCA). Her FCA Kumba Under 17 girls
team in Orlando have loaned her to Odense Boldklub (OB)
to help solve their short-term injury problems.
Battista is expected to fill in at midfield and play a
role in getting the season started until OB gets their
full roster back. "I am excited for her to
learn how special Danish Women's football can be as I
have for the past 2 weeks." said George
Sasvari, Head Coach for OB and also Battista's club
coach for FC America Kumba. "Melissa should
be able to take a lot out of this experience to both
help her improve her game and learn from a very pleasant
culture."
OB
is out several players due to injury from off-season
surgery including Stella Godwin, who represented Nigeria
in the 2004 Olympics. "It would be
great if Stella can make it back as it would be a neat
experience for Melissa to train and play along side her
talent." In the meantime Melissa will see
some old faces from the United States as 3 players on OB
participated
in Sasvari's International Academy in 2004. Stine
Kristensen, Maria Clausen, and Rikke Kronberg all
trained under Sasvari in the U.S. at Lake Highland Prep
for 10 days. They will join team captain Maria
Juul in welcoming Melissa to Denmark. "I
don't know what to expect, but I hope to add whatever I
can to the team. It will be a different experience
than playing back home - a little culture shock probably."
It
will be a challenge for Melissa to keep up with the
speed of play at this level just as it will for all our
younger players," according to Sasvari, "but I
know she will adjust as will the rest of our team.
One of the things I see in common between our Kumba
players and our OB team is the fighting spirit in their
personality. They both want to be winners"

ORLANDO,
FLORIDA (Wednesday, February 23, 2005) – The Kenyan
Football Federation has adopted training ideas and
philosophy from the SasvariWay curriculum.
"The SasvariWay concept has been of great here with
us" says John Boboyugi, head of Youth Soccer
Development in Kenya for the
Federation.
According
to Boboyugi, the shortcomings with African soccer
players keeps them behind the strong Europeans.
"Finding creative solutions within the team concept
has been difficult for African players so
we have been working on keeping possession through the
individual, group, and team concepts learned in the
U.S. Our goal is to teach youth players to solve
problems in the game without the guidance of the
coach."
John
Boboyugi attended the SasvariWay Residential Training
Center at Lindsey Wilson College and after learning the
curriculum decided to adopt it's concepts for youth
development in Kenya. Mr. Boboyugi has worked with
national team players and aids African players in
gaining acceptance into colleges in the United
States. He also works on FIFA's Technical
Staff.

SCOTTISH
FEDERATION TO HOST AMERICAN COACH!
09/06/04
6:00 PM
GLASGOW,
SCOTLAND (Monday, September 06, 2004) – The home to
football as it is known throughout the world has invited
George Sasvari, Director of Player Development for FC
America Academy in Orlando and soccer entrepreneur in
the United States, to provide coaching leadership on
player development for the Scottish Federation of
Football Coaches (SFFC) in Glasgow, Scotland.
Scottish
youth players and coaches will attend programs called
Creative Player Development, offered by SFFC, that will
expose players to a unique methodology designed by
Sasvari to change the way players are developed
throughout the country.
Scotland’s current worldwide ranking of 59 has
them falling off the world cup soccer map and serves as
their primary motivation in revamping their youth
development.
The
program will take place from September 23rd
– 28th in Paisley, a suburb of Glasgow,
Scotland. The
relationship with SYFA started when Sasvari was invited
to Scotland in July of 2003 to present ideas on player
development through clinics for coaches and players.
During
past visits Sasvari has trained the Under 14 and 16 Boys
National Squads as well as the Under 19 Western Regional
Squad. SFFC and the Scottish Youth Football
Association (SYFC) has since been working with George
Sasvari to develop a plan for implementing the unique
coaching methods on both a regional and national level.
Creative
Player Development, designed by Sasvari, focuses
on putting players at the centerpiece of their
development. Coaches learn how to enhance a
player’s creativity, imagination, and inventiveness.
Players develop responsibility for their decisions by
learning to read the game and find creative solutions to
problems they face on the field.
John
Hardie, President of Paisley United FC and longtime Kit
Manager to the professional clubs in Scotland, has
watched Sasvari train teams from his club.
Hardie deemed the coaching sessions "Brilliant!
George gained the respect of all the Scottish
coaches."
Jim
Smith, coach for Paisley United and National Manager for
the Under 15’s, said "We
experienced the Sasvari Way in 2002 when we were over at
the Schwan's USA Cup and took part in a Finishing Topic
Course, that helped us through the season and we ended
up winning the Scottish Amateur Youth league."
