About MOVOA · Moritz Schmid
That you won’t need me anymore!
My mission
MOVOA symbolises 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!

Why women’s football?
A place where you can grow
As the father of two daughters, I’ve been confronted with a lot of prejudice when it comes to girls and football.
I love women’s football and have made it my mission to promote it wherever possible, so that girls and women playing football 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 football flourish.
“Women’s football doesn’t have to prove that it’s like men’s football. It gets to show what football can be.”
About me
A human touch and a huge dose of positivity
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 football 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 football. And I want to share this passion and pass it on!
