<\/p>\nKristin Gumaer knows exactly what she wants to do with her life: she wants to be a professional football player, and she\u2019s already working hard to achieve her goal. Her love of football is immeasurable, and if her skills reach the level of her passion for the sport, she will realize her dream before long.<\/p>\n
Kristin Gumaer is not a name that everybody recognizes, but that very well could change ten years from now.<\/p>\n
Gumaer was born in 2001, and she comes from the small Norwegian town of Frosta, located between Levanger and Trondheim. She used to train three times per week with her team, Neset FK U16, which plays in the first division. But this was not just any team; it was the club\u2019s U16 men\u2019s first team!<\/p>\n

As you can sense, Kristin Gumaer isn\u2019t your average girl. She\u2019s a footballer to the bone, and the young Norwegian spends most of her spare time playing football. In addition to three weekly team practices, she spends two or three hours each day self-training so she can reach her ultimate goal: to become the best female football player in the world.<\/p>\n –<\/em>Self-training is very important to me. With the club, I train about three times per week, which in my opinion is not at all enough if you want to be a professional. That\u2019s why I started self-training (also because I love playing football, of course). There\u2019s nobody telling me that I need to practice more; it\u2019s purely my own choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n I self-train almost every day. Some days I do strength training, while other days I\u2019ll work on technique and speed. On average, I train two to three hours per day. I think this will help me in the football world. My coach and I have seen progress since I started self-training and going all in on football, so I think self-training will be crucial moving forward, she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Gumaer is a midfielder, and she distributes the ball with great confidence. It takes proper technique and precise passing to distribute the ball effectively, so Gumaer has worked on her technique and passing a lot.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve spent a lot of time practicing my passes (short as well as long), and also my finishes and dribbling. For dribbling, I\u2019ve used cones in many different formations. For example, I zig-zag between the cones so I can train both feet. It\u2019s a very simple exercise that\u2019s good for training technique, she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n One thing that has helped Gumaer in her self-training is Munin Sports\u2019 m-station<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, which she uses every time she practices on her own.<\/p>\n -The m-station has helped me a lot in my self-training. I use it for every kind of exercise, but I\u2019ve felt the most progress when it comes to my passes and first touches. I can make passes with my m-station for hours without getting bored<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n “I use it on a daily basis. It\u2019s a teammate that never makes a mistake. If you make a good pass, you\u2019ll receive a good pass. This is one of the unique features of the m-station rebounder, she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
