About me

I’m, Ismail Mekhalfa, a UEFA B licensed coach, certified physiotherapist, and former player in Finland’s 2nd and Belgians 3rd divisions — with over a decade of experience in the game, both on and off the pitch. At IM Performance, I offer individual and small group football coaching in Helsinki, tailored to help players of all levels improve their technical skills, football IQ, physical performance, and confidence.

My training sessions combine high-level football coaching with injury prevention and movement quality — thanks to my physiotherapy background. Whether you're aiming to break into a higher level, recover from injury, or just take your game to the next stage, I’ll help you get there with focused, professional coaching that delivers real progress.
