About Nowak
The Brazilians had it all figured out!
Matthias Nowak is today considered one of the leading cognitive trainers in the world of football. But he started out like most German boys, simply obsessed with football!
He discovered the connection between brain training and his love for tricks, technical feints, and complex movement patterns in 1995 in Brazil. There he met an extraordinary coach with a unique style and thus came up with the idea of a concrete, specific cognitive and motoric training to improve game intelligence, creativity, and speed of action.
Over the years, he developed countless of his own cognitive training exercises with an unparalleled dedication that often woke him up in the middle of the night. He still guards a treasure consisting of hundreds of these "nocturnal notes". His passion for cognitive training became even greater when he was confronted with the dementia and poor mobility of his own father.
Despite many challenges, he continued to train players and coaches with these new ideas, encountering a steadily increasing acceptance in German football.
FC Bayern coach and bestselling author
His successes as a technical and creative coach with the FC Bayern Munich women's team, which became German champions twice (2015/2016) while using his cognitive training, as well as the success of his coaching DVDs and books, confirmed his approach.
During this time, he further developed his concept and wrote the bestseller "Move Your Brain" with Jörg Seewald, in which he presented his methods to a wider audience.

After 8 years, Matthias Nowak left FC Bayern Munich to further develop his revolutionary method and make it accessible to coaches and players worldwide.
He began collaborating with researchers in the field of neurocognitive movement science at the University of Bielefeld and training other coaches based on their findings. For the first time, he has now summarized his life's work in a comprehensively structured, revolutionary "Deep Learning" method.

The rubber hits the road...
However, there was still only a limited amount of time and energy to lead workshops and training sessions and spread this method. After considering selling the entire program to a single professional club to "live happily ever after," Matthias Nowak became fascinated by the idea of sharing his knowledge with the worldwide coaches' community through structured and comprehensive online courses, true to his motto "BeYourNumberOne."
But who could help him? That's right: the COGNIGOALS team!
