Valentino Di Lorenzo, former Juventus Academy coach & pro player
My story
I was a very shy kid who played in fear. A "bench warmer", getting 10–15 minutes in games at most.
I had the skills in practice, but on game day I hesitated, played safe and was afraid to make mistakes. Exactly what so many of the players I work with go through today.
Everything changed when I learned from great mentors and coaches. I became captain of multiple teams, played in Italy's Serie A2 futsal, and won the UPSL North East Conference and South Florida as captain.
Today, as a former Juventus Academy coach with 25+ years of experience, I've helped 1,000+ families give their child the mindset to perform in games like they do in practice.

Is this right for your family?
We only work with committed families
This is a premium, private program with limited spots. If you already invest in club, travel and training, this is the missing piece most families never address.
This is for you if…
- Competitive players: MLS NEXT, ECNL, ODP, GA, elite club
- Families already investing seriously in their child's soccer
- Parents committed to long-term development, not quick fixes
- Parents tired of seeing their child perform in practice, not in games
This is NOT for you if…
- Recreational players
- Families looking for technical / skills training
- Parents looking for overnight results
- Anyone looking for cheap, per-session courses

What's included
Our promise
If your child completes at least 90% of their daily tasks, you will see improvement. Players who do well are invited to our elite continuation program.

Questions parents ask
Is this just motivation or actual coaching?
It's structured mental performance training, not pep talks. Players learn specific tools for real game moments: resetting right after mistakes, staying confident under pressure, and not overthinking.
How is this different from a sport psychologist?
Most work session-by-session and focus on conversation. This is a structured 90-day system, built for soccer, where players practice tools consistently. The goal is changed behavior in games.
Will this help my child perform better in games?
If your child completes the program and applies the tools, that's the goal. Most of our players already have the skill. What improves is confidence in matches, recovery after mistakes, risk-taking and consistency. Results depend on their engagement.
What age is it for, and is it online?
Competitive players aged roughly 9–18. Fully online, so you can do it from anywhere, and the tools are adapted to age and level.
How much time does it take?
One weekly session, about 10 minutes of daily exercises, and a short reflection after games logged in the app.
What does it cost?
This is a premium, private 90-day program. It's comparable to what many families spend on a season of club or travel soccer. We go over options on the parent call once we know your child is a good fit.
