Your Athletic Career Is Shorter Than You Think
Every game. Every session.
It’s either moving you forward, or holding you back.
You’re not lacking effort. You’re lacking a plan and an experienced coach to guide you and ensure your success.
- Do you feel discouraged because you’re not sure where to start?
-
Sick of watching less talented players get picked because they’re fitter?
- No time to train for your goals, because team sessions always come first.
- You never feel 100% ready for trials or important matches.
- Pushing through injuries because there’s no better option.
- Doing everything, but nothing’s really clicking?
Modern football demands a complete athlete. If your physical prep isn’t structured and specific to your goals, you’re leaving the door open for someone else to take your spot. Fast forward a few years, you’ll be wishing you started earlier and didn’t waste time.
Here’s how we fix it
Football has different demands than other sports.
We train for what actually happens on the pitch, not just in the gym.
This is where most athletes fall behind.
Most players train hard. But it’s random.
No structure. No progression. No one keeping them accountable.
That’s why we built a holistic training system, structured week by week around your matches, team practices, and personal goals.
It’s not rocket science. We’ve used this exact method with 100+ players worldwide, across all levels of the game. Customized specifically to you.
And instead of leaving you to figure it out alone, we’ll coach you through it. You’ll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how it fits into your bigger plans.

ANTONIOS ASSAAD
Built by a coach who’s been there.
Before I coached pros and helped hundreds of athletes around the world…
I was the guy training for the wrong purpose and learning everything the hard way.

I used to think my technique would always be my ticket forward. But the deeper I got into the game, the clearer it became that at a certain level, everyone’s technical. Everyone’s sharp. Everyone can play. So how can I diffrentiate myself?
I started trying to get jacked in the gym. Doing bodybuilding splits and eating big. Thought that the more muscle I had, the better I will perform. Basically, desperate to get an edge any way I could.
But that just led to more injuries. My body was breaking down, not building up. I was heavy footed.
That was the wake-up call. I stopped training like a bodybuilder and started focusing on the holistic requirements of football performance: speed, power, mentality, conditioning. Everything the game really demands.
Now, that’s what I build for players like you all around the world.
Periodized plans with coaching that removes the guesswork and makes sure you’re training specifically for your sport.

What they’re saying
Still have questions?
How do I know if this is right for my skill level?
Dont worry, we offer various options designed for different skill levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. Our assessment process ensures we recommend a program to fit your skill level and objectives. We’ll discuss your options and guide you towards the program that best matches your needs.
What if I'm not seeing results after a few weeks?
Results can vary based on many factors, but consistency and communication are key. As your coach, just send me a message and we’ll work closely together to refine your training and ensure you’re on track to meet your goals. Patience is crucial in achieving lasting results!
What if I have an injury during my program?
We’ve worked with a lot of return-to-play athletes. If something flares up, we’ll adjust the plan around it so you can stay in the game and recover properly.
Is 1-on-1 coaching worth the investment?
Absolutely! Unlike generic options, our experience playing, training, and coaching at the highest level allows us to build, personalize, refine, and evolve your program over time. Using performance data, team schedules, and workload management, we ensure your training can get you to your goals the fastest and safest way possible.
Do I need specific equipment for the workouts?
For most programs, a basic gym setup (barbell, dumbbells, bands) is enough. If you’re limited to home or field, we can adapt everything to what you’ve got.
Which apps do we use for 1-on-1 coaching?
We utilize the TrueCoach app, which allows you to access your entire program, log workouts, communicate directly with your coach, view exercise demonstrations, and explore alternative exercises.
