What is Higher Level Soccer?

My goal in creating this platform is to help players and coaches play or coach at a higher level. In order to do this, sometimes we have to focus on off-the-field habits more than on-the-field drills. These habits include, but are not limited to, being a role model to other players, fueling the body correctly, off-season workouts, and learning leadership skills.

If a player focuses on these habits daily, their game will improve exponentially. However, when we look at the actual habits, they do not necessarily relate to soccer. Instead, they focus on the player becoming a better person. To achieve my goal of helping players or coaches play or coach at a higher level, I need to help them with not only their soccer skills but also their off-the-field skills.

I find it very difficult to find other coaches or organizations teaching the same materials I am teaching. My background is in exercise science and sports management, with a research thesis (which you can read here) on developing future leaders in sport settings gives me an interesting dynamic of knowledge. I believe that there are not too many people with these backgrounds, which is why I want to be able to help players and coaches who want to learn more about these areas and how they are interconnected.

I hope you find this platform helpful and useful during your career, whether as a coach or a player. Happy learning!
