From Strength & Conditioning Coach
to Performance Architect:

Building Winning Cultures by Design!


With a foundation working across all athlete levels—from beginners to Olympians—I have developed a deep understanding of adaptability and personalized development. Specializing in ice hockey with over 7 years as Head of Performance and Medical in the SHL, I saw firsthand how marginal gains, culture, and integrated support separate good teams from great ones.

My approach blends hands-on leadership and broad sports experience to design performance systems and cultures where athletes, coaches, and staff thrive under pressure. I believe sustainable success grows quietly through patient system-building, trust, and collaboration.

Don’t Let Another Season Pass You By
The effort you put in off the arena can be the game-changer in your career. It’s the difference between being in the spotlight or on the sidelines. Many athletes and teams struggle with off-arena training, limiting their true potential. That’s where Magnus steps in.

If you’re a coach, GM, an athlete or sports leader seeking intentional system design for lasting performance gains, let’s explore what’s possible.

Magnus is an outstanding sports performance coach

Magnus is an outstanding hockey performance coach. During my time with Brynäs experienced firsthand his deep understanding of sports performance. He's dedicated to tailoring his approach to every individual, ensuring they reach their full potential. I’ve continued to work with and discuss new ideas with Magnus, and can say he’s truly unique in his approach to continued education and blending of old and new techniques to push the boundaries of performance.

He is one of the most knowledgeable strength and conditioning coaches I have had the privilege of working with...

I first met Magnus when I was a player in Brynas in the SHL. He was my strength and conditioning coach for two years. He is one of the most knowledgeable strength and conditioning coaches I have had the privilege of working with during my 15 years as a professional hockey player. Magnus is always furthering his education in all aspects of strength and conditioning which in return not only helps individual players but the overall team. His personal determination and consistency to get better carries over to his own clients. He has improved my mental mindset, nutrition, recovery and overall wellness throughout the years. I am grateful I met Magnus back in 2016. I will continue to consult with him for the conclusion of my playing career and beyond.

I highly recommend him!

I met Magnus in spring 2018 when playing for Brynäs. During my time there I needed complex knee surgery. The MD told me that the rehab would take time, up to 12 months, and that “maybe” I could be back playing! He took charge of my rehab, pushed and motivated me every day during this period. Against all odds I played 7 months later, and I still do - better than ever"

Any team or organization would be lucky to have Magnus

I really enjoyed my time working with Magnus. He was super knowledgeable in his field, would go out of his way to accommodate his athletes, and went over and above what is generally expected of someone in the role he served. His dedication was obvious and I always felt like he truly cared about my well-being. Any team or organization would be lucky to have Magnus.

Magnus is truly one of the best trainers in the game and any team would be lucky to have him

Magnus was my trainer for the better part of 3 years while I played professional hockey in the SHL in Sweden. I played hockey for 10 years in Europe and there was no one even close to as good of a trainer as Magnus. We had 25-30 players with individual workouts. On top of that Magnus would spend time with each of us throughout the day to make sure we had everything clear. He always answered questions regarding working out as well as nutrition and was always willing to learn about new approaches. I was even traded in Sweden and I continued to use Magnus’ program throughout the rest of my time that year, as well as the following years in the KHL and DEL. I am now retired and still go back to his workouts here and there because of how effective and personalized they were for me. Magnus is truly one of the best trainers in the game and any team would be lucky to have him.
