My mission
That you won't need me anymore!
MOVOA symbolizes the combination of "move" and the Romansh word "voa" (path). I help you move forward on your own path the way you want and deserve.
Everything begins with strengthening your self-awareness – building on that, we shape and walk your path together until you don't need me anymore!

Moritz Schmid
Gründer von MOVOA
As the father of two daughters, I've been confronted with a lot of prejudice when it comes to girls and soccer.
I love women's soccer and have made it my mission to promote it wherever possible, so that girls and women playing soccer becomes the most normal thing in the world.
With MOVOA, I want to contribute to this development: supporting players individually, accompanying them on their personal path, and creating a place where they feel comfortable, can grow and can let their love of soccer flourish.
“Women's soccer doesn't have to prove that it's like men's soccer.
It gets to show what soccer can be.”

About Me
What sets me apart is a human touch, paired with a huge dose of positivity. It's important to me that you feel comfortable in our training sessions and can be yourself – that is, unique. I'm convinced that's exactly when you can get the best out of yourself.
I support you actively, drawing on my diverse, long-standing experience as a soccer player, athlete, coach and marketing expert.
Every step forward you take gives me endless energy, too. That's where my motivation lies. So you can be sure I'll always give my best for you, because it does me good as well.
Ever since my daughters came along, my passion has been wholeheartedly devoted to women's soccer.
And I want to share this passion and pass it on!
