Var och hur gammal var du nĂ€r ditt volleybollintresse startade? – Jag var runt 15 Ă„r, och hade slutat med hockey och fotboll och sökte nĂ„tt annat att göra. Det satt en lapp pĂ„ skolan om att det var volleybolltrĂ€ning och vi var nĂ„gra killar i klassen som gick dit, det behövdes 1 trĂ€ning sen var jag fast
Hur hamnade du i södra Sverige? – Mina förĂ€ldrar bodde i Helsingborg och jag skulle utomlands och spela, det blev inte sĂ„ och dĂ„ hade jag börjat trĂ€na med Ărkelljunga och blev kvar i SkĂ„ne. Sen trĂ€ffade jag min fru Helen och dĂ„ var det kört, hahahaha đ
Hur var din spelarkarriĂ€r? – Den var vĂ€ldigt rolig, otroligt mycket glĂ€dje men sjĂ€lvklart mĂ„nga tunga stunder ocksĂ„. Men jag har fĂ„tt uppleva saker som jag aldrig kommer att glömma, varit pĂ„ platser som jag aldrig skulle ha besökt och framförallt sĂ„ har det gett mig mĂ„nga vĂ€nner för resten av mitt liv
Med en lĂ„ng trĂ€narkarriĂ€r kommer ocksĂ„ mĂ„nga lag som du coachat! Vilka lag har du trĂ€nat genom Ă„ren? – Jag har trĂ€nat Ărkelljunga herrar i tvĂ„ omgĂ„ngar 10 Ă„r tillsammans, Tierp herrar i 3 sĂ€songer och nu gör jag min fjĂ€rde sĂ€song som trĂ€nare för Ărebros damer. Förutom klubblag sĂ„ har jag ocksĂ„ varit delaktig i bĂ„de herr och damlandslaget sedan 2014
Du har trĂ€nat flera typer av lag genom Ă„ren, men vad Ă€r roligast att trĂ€na? Damlag, herrlag eller ett landslag? – Att trĂ€na lag dĂ€r spelarna visar stor passion till volleyboll och Ă€r villiga att prioritera volleyboll först i livet för att se hur lĂ„ngt man kan nĂ„, det Ă€r roligast. Om det Ă€r dam, herr eller landslag spelar ingen roll
Du trĂ€nar idag Ărebros damer i Elitserien. Vad tycker du om dagens Elitserie? – Det kĂ€nns som att vi skulle kunna höja nivĂ„n pĂ„ allt vi gör, men var börjar man? Det ser nĂ€stan likadant ut i alla klubbar, dĂ€r fĂ„ personer gör mycket och dĂ„ nĂ„r man kanske bara till en viss nivĂ„. Orken och tiden finns inte att driva saker framĂ„t utan det mesta arbetet gĂ„r Ă„t att lösa saker för stunden och bara se till att sĂ€songen och klubben hĂ„ller sig flytande.
– Tittar man pĂ„ de svenska spelarna i serien sĂ„ rent generellt sĂ„ Ă€r vi för dĂ„liga tekniskt och fysiskt, vems ansvar Ă€r det? Spelarnas eget ansvar, trĂ€narna eller klubbarna? SjĂ€lvklart Ă€r det en kombination av dessa tre, men vi mĂ„ste skapa förutsĂ€ttningar för bĂ„de spelare, trĂ€nare att utvecklas och höja nivĂ„n
Vad tycker du vi behöver utveckla i produkten Elitserien för att bli attraktivare? – NĂ„ ut, se till att vi syns, i dagens media brus sĂ„ Ă€r det tufft att synas. En trött affisch i hallen kommer inte att skapa attraktivitet, men det Ă€r lĂ€tt att hamna dĂ€r för det Ă€r ett oerhört stort jobb att synas och det tar lĂ„ng tid att fĂ„ nĂ„gon form av payback
En uttjatad frĂ„ga, men definitivt aktuell igen! Hur mĂ„nga lag tycker du vi ska ha i Elitserien? – Som det Ă€r idag Ă€r vi för mĂ„nga, men jag tror att det viktigaste jobbet i framtiden mĂ„ste vara att skapa ett attraktivt alternativ till de lagen som inte ska spela elitserien. Som det ser ut idag sĂ„ förstĂ„r jag att alla lagen som spelar i elitserien försöker hĂ„lla sig kvar med nĂ€bbar och klor, för alternativet att gĂ„ ned en serie Ă€r inte tillrĂ€ckligt bra. Mitt svar pĂ„ frĂ„gan Ă€r 6-8 lag
Som coach, vad Ă€r viktigt för dig att implementera i dina lag Ă„r efter Ă„r? – HĂ„rt jobb, vĂ€nskap, lojalitet, samarbete och passion det Ă€r fem byggstenar jag försöker bygga alla lag med
Vad Ă€r din coachningsfilosofi? – Jag ska vara dĂ€r för mina spelare, mina spelare Ă€r inte dĂ€r för mig
Har du haft nĂ„gon/nĂ„gra förebilder som ledare, coacher genom din karriĂ€r? – Absolut, nĂ€r jag spelade sĂ„ hade jag mĂ„nga fantastiska ledare med vĂ€ldigt olika karaktĂ€rer. Gunnar Nordlander nĂ€r jag var ung som med sin passion gjorde att jag förĂ€lskade mig i denna idrott. Sen kan jag nĂ€mna mĂ„nga trĂ€nare som jag har sett upptill, Anders Kristiansson, Ismo Peltoarvo, Bengt Olsson, Tina Celinder Nygren. Man ska inte vara rĂ€dd för att ha förebilder eller tycka att nĂ„gon gör nĂ„got bra, livet gĂ„r ut pĂ„ att utvecklas hela tiden sĂ„ det gĂ€ller att vara beredd pĂ„ vart lĂ€rdom kan komma frĂ„n och lĂ€ra sig frĂ„n alla
Ăr du en offensiv eller defensiv trĂ€nare, i ditt spelsystem? – Offensiv, dĂ€r vi jobbar vĂ€ldigt hĂ„rt pĂ„ det defensiva spelet för att komma till offensiva avslut
Om du ser pĂ„ dig sjĂ€lv som trĂ€nare, vad tror du att dina största styrkor Ă€r? – HĂ„rt jobb och passion, sen Ă€r jag fruktansvĂ€rt envis jag ger ALDRIG upp vare sig det Ă€r en match eller att lĂ€ra ett lag eller en spelare nĂ„got. Sen börjar vĂ€l rutinen och Ă„ldern bli en erfarenhet och styrka, men alla styrkor kan vara dina svagheter ocksĂ„, det gĂ€ller att inte bara utvĂ€rdera dina spelare och ditt lags prestationer utan Ă€ven din egen insats
Om du mĂ„ste nĂ€mna en spelare, vilken Ă€r den bĂ€sta du nĂ„gonsin trĂ€nat som huvudtrĂ€nare? – Hahaha, det Ă€r ingen rolig frĂ„ga att behöva svara pĂ„, men jag tror att tvĂ„ sĂ€kra val utan att alltför mĂ„nga av mina gamla spelare blir arga Ă€r nog Shun Imamura frĂ„n Japan och Isabella Haak, tvĂ„ stycken med en exceptionell talang och respekt till den idrotten de utövar
Vilken spelare Ă€r den som har jobbat hĂ„rdast i hallen? – Men inte en till sĂ„n frĂ„ga, hahahaâŠ.. Jag har trĂ€nat och trĂ€nar mĂ„nga spelare som jobbar vĂ€ldigt hĂ„rt pĂ„ varje trĂ€ning sĂ„ jag undan ber mig att behöva svara pĂ„ det
För yngre trĂ€nare som Ă€r tidigt i karriĂ€ren, vilka rĂ„d skulle du ge dem? – Titta, frĂ„ga, prova och kom ihĂ„g att det handlar inte om dig det handlar om dina spelare
Vad tycker du Ă€r Svensk Volleybolls största styrkor just nu? – Att vi har ett damlandslag och ett beachpar i Ă man/Hellvig som hĂ€vdar sig internationellt, detta mĂ„ste vi ta tillvara pĂ„ för att kunna bredda vĂ„r sport och nĂ„ ut i Sverige
Vad Ă€r planerna för sommaren 2022? – Jag ska vara assisterande trĂ€nare i damlandslaget och sen ska jag vara trĂ€nare pĂ„ BIP lĂ€ger sĂ„klart!!!
Vi tackar Jonas för samtalet och önskar honom och Ărebro lycka till i Ă„rets slutspel!

Who is Sven-Erik Lauridsen? – Head coach of Holte since 2003. Physiotherapist, generalist (I know a little bit about a lot of stuff), family man
Where did you get your volleyball interest from? – My brother brought me along to his matches back in the mid 80âs and I started playing too
What is your background as player? – I have played as a setter, middle, opposite and outside. For the most part as a setter. I played 1 season on the highest level in Denmark
And what is your background as coach? – I have been coaching for app. 30 years on all levels in Denmark (Kids, youth, division and elite). Iâve been part of the Danish Federation since 97 as a Talent coach, Youth-national team coach, assistant coach on national team, national coach since 2012 â all on the womenâs side
What are your thoughts about this season so far with your Team Holte IF? You have played the European Cup, beaten the 1st ranked Team and qualified for the Final 4 in the Cup!? – I think we can be satisfied with the process so far. We have had a lot of external obstacles during the way, but have kept focus on our development and have had some great experiences with the European Cup and playing a preseason tournament in Italy
You been coaching for over 20 years and won everything, many times in Denmark! But which medal over the years are you most satisfied with? – I was really happy for the first championship back in 2009, but we won mainly on having a team with a lot of foreigners, so when we won again in 2012 with a more âDanishâ team it was a lot more satisfying
What is important for you as coach to implement in the Team year after year? – That the players care for each other. We need to bond to battle
What is your coaching philosophy? – The goal every year is to develop every player as much as possible physically, mentally, technically, tactically and as a human being. If we do a good job, then we will be in a position to win championships. So that is my philosophy â player development
Are you an offensive or defensive coach, I mean in your system? – Defensive. We aim to be disciplined in our transition
If you look at yourself as coach, what do you think your biggest strengths are? – I have a really good feeling for how players think and I rarely do the same mistake twice
Which persons, coaches have influenced you most over the years in your development to a Championship Coach? – I have been influenced by a lot of coaches (my brother, Mats Björkman, Tony Westman, Mikael Trolle, Fred Sturm, etc.), I try to learn and be inspired from books on sports, management, leadership, philosophy and I following sports in general and listen to what the coaches and players say, I look at games and statistics from the Olympics, World or European Championships and talk with coaches around me
If you have to name one player, which is the best you ever coached as a Head Coach? – Mia Kloth JĂžrgensen
Which player has been the hardest worker in the gym? – It would be unfair to name only one
For younger coacher that is early in their career, what advice would you give them? – You donât know what you donât know, so stay humble and watch video, look at stats, talk with your players, admit and learn from your mistakes. Players, referees and opponents are human beings too, treat them with respect
What do you think is Danish Volleyballs big strengths right now? – We have a strong Menâs National Team side from Youth to senior level
We thank Smölf for this interview and wish him good luck with the season in Denmark
Mats Björkman, called Bjöcke in Sweden is a coach with a long experience with Scandinavian Volleyball. He started in Sweden and was part of the Junior National Team before he moved to Denmark. In Denmark Mats has become a power in the youth and junior programs in the Danish Federation and with him coaching the youth National Teams for years and at the Volleyball School in Ikast We are happy that Mats wanted to share little of his experience and thoughts
Who is Mats Björkman? – I am 58 years old, I live in Ikast, Denmark together with my wife Else and we have a grown up daughter Emma, who soon will be done with her aim to be a Midwife
Where did you get your volleyball interest from? -I started as a schoolboy back in 1976 in Ărnsköldsvik. We got a new teacher from Gothenburg who started a volley group and it seems to be fun. We where a bunch of friends that started together â pretty much like everyone else in this sport đ
Why did you move to Denmark? – In the beginning of the 90âs I worked at the YMCA in Norrköping and in 1992 we arrange the YMCA Sports Game. I was guide for the Danish delegation and they convinced me to start talking to the volley club in Ikast, where they was searching for a new womenâs coach â I got a one year leave from my work to try it out. Some people never get on, I have now been coaching in the same town and the same club for 28 years â maybe a record of its own đÂ
Mats, lÀngst till höger, med ett av ungdomslandslagen frÄn Danmark
What is your background as player? – I played my first official game in 1976 and my last in 2004 maybe. First in KFUM Ărnsköldsvik (76-80), then Ănget VBK (80-89), on to KFUM Norrköping (89-93) and finally Ikast KFUM (93-04). In Ănget we played in what was called âAllsvenskanâ and we tried a couple of times to reach the top league without any luck. A stabile meatball setter with good hands and no block!
And what is your background as coach? – I started coaching women in 1977 in Ă-vik and have coached women and girls ever since. 1980 we started with youth practice in Ănget and of course also kept on doing that ever since. Menâs coaching has not been that much â 4 years in Ănget, 3 years in Norrköping, 1 year in Jönköping and 2 years in Ikast. 1990-1992 I was assisting coach for Swedens National Boys Youth Team and from 1996 I have been working with developing Denmarks National Girls Youth Teams and the talentwork behind that and again I am still doing that đ
Which Teams and you coaching right now? – Right now I am assistant in Ikast for our 1st division team. I am coaching our local youth girls under 17 and under 20 years. I am one of the coaches in the Talentcenter Vest, where we do camps in holliday periods. In October I was with the U19 NEVZA Team to Finland, in December it was the U17 CEV Qualification Team in Denmark and in May I am going to Serbia with the U20 to try to qualify for the CEV Championship. I also work at the Ikast Sport School (www.isi.dk), a boarding school for 9th and 10th grade. We train four times a week in the scheme plus the practice in the club â close to a professional environment together with their education
You are also working with a company that import whisky and rum to Denmark? – Back in 1996 we had a visit from the YMCA of Scotland. They was of course introduced tothe range of whisky we had in Denmark and they told us, that everything here is exported because they wouldnât drink it themselves back home! This was a trigger for me and 3 of my volley friends. We started an import business in 1996 and have developed it every yearsince. We were lucky to just slip into the whisky wave with Deerstalker and Ben Nevis. After a couple of year we introduced Denmark to premium rum, Ron Zacapa and Ron Millonario, which became a new lucky wave for us â this rum wave hasnât stopped yet! Late 00âs we fall into the gin which was growing very fast. We like to say that we started the pink gin wave with Warnerâs Rhubarb Gin! Now we have 20 employees and are selling about 600 different products and a total of 300.000 bottles every year! We have our own rum brand â Rum Nation and are selling that worldwide. Feel free everyone â come and visit us if you are in Denmark â www.macy.dk đ Â
Are there any big differences between the Swedish and the Danish Federations regarding how they work with youth and juniors? – When I came in 1993 there were many differences. Today thereâs not many left. I think one is that in Sweden you always will be more disciplined and somehow more believe in authority than here. When starting in Denmark I found out that the Swedish structure in technique and tactic could hide less talented players in the team by letting them do few things when played. But at the same time I experienced the Danish learning by playing produced some very competitive and complete players whom was very diverse in their play. During the years I believe both sides have developed the other side and that we at the moment work similar with the youth development
What is important for you as coach to implement in the Team year after year? – Internal motivation â motivation to learn â embrace challenges â it is all about the effort â learn how to train (kids) â learn how to compete (youth) â learn how to win (adults)
What is your coaching philosophy? – I do not want to make the decision about how good a player can be â therefore I have to provide options for everyone to reach their full potential â means learning effective techniques and develop good tactical knowhow â not working for the moment â Work on Long Term Development (LTD). Always value the effort more than the results
If you look at yourself as coach, what do you think your biggest strengths are? – I do believe that I am capable to go for the win but still maintain the focus in learning. In that way I can coach them in a constructive way and have them build up an internal motivation that they want to learn to get better and to learn new things. I think one of my strengths are holding on to the Growth Mindset Theory in every aspect of coaching
If you have to choose one or two of your biggest wins over the years, which ones? – A game I often think about is a final in U17 NEVZA back in 2012, were we beat the home team Finland 3-2 (doesnât happen that often). An other great moment of victory was when we as the first Danish Girls Youth Team ever qualified for the CEV Championship in 2018 by beating Latvia 3-0 in Copenhagen
For younger coacher that is early in their career, what advice would you give them? – Being consistent and constructive in your coaching approach â you are in this world to help your players and your team: do that all the time, no matter what (inspired by Carl McGown). Teach your players to see the situation (Read) â to take good decisions (Decide) â to perform the skill at their best (Do it) â teach them in this order and keep your focus on this all the time (inspired by John Kessel). Read âGrowth Mindsetâ by Carol Dweck and âGRITâ by Angela Duckworth â they are mind changing inspiration (inspired by Fred Sturm).
What do you think is the Danish Volleyballs biggest strengths right now? – A good system for long-term developing of volleyball players outside the clubs and open for everyone to participate in â starts with local activities in âThe School of Volleyâ, then regional in Talent Center East & Vest and finally national in Talent Center Danmark. The combination of experienced leaders and trainers and young enthusiastic coaches. Continuously participating in CEV and NEVZA tournaments, will allow us to work strategic with the long-term developing of our players
Thank you Mats for your time and good luck with the volleyball season
