WHAT THIS IS
DEVELOPMENT, NOT JUST DRILLS
Coach Tumi’s training isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Every player who trains with him gets a development plan built around their specific goals, position, and current ability level.
Before training begins, Coach Tumi evaluates the player — either through live observation or film review — to understand where they are and where they need to go. From there, he designs an Individual Development Plan (IDP) with clear, measurable goals that give both the player and their family a roadmap for growth.
This is focused, intentional work with a UEFA-licensed soccer coach who has 12 years of experience developing players from club soccer through the college and professional pipeline.
WHO THIS IS FOR
BUILT FOR PLAYERS WHO WANT MORE
This youth soccer training is designed for competitive players ages 12–23 who are serious about getting better — players who care, put in the work, and want to be challenged.
This is a good fit if your player is:
Looking to earn a spot on a top club or academy team
Preparing for the college recruiting process
Transitioning to prep school soccer and needs to be ready
Struggling with confidence, consistency, or specific technical gaps
Already competing at a high level and wants an edge
Committed to long-term development, not just a quick fix
HOW TRAINING WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
01
ASSESS
It starts with understanding the player. Coach Tumi watches the player live or reviews film to evaluate their current abilities, strengths, and areas for growth. He also talks with the player and family to understand their goals — whether that’s making a specific team, preparing for college, or building foundational skills.
02
PLAN
Based on the assessment, Coach Tumi builds an Individual Development Plan (IDP) with SMART goals — specific, measurable, and realistic targets tied to a clear timeline. The plan accounts for the player’s age, position, school schedule, and extracurricular commitments so it’s something the family can actually follow through on.
03
TRAIN
Sessions are structured and purposeful: dynamic warmup, technical activation, small-sided games, and conditioned games — all designed around the player’s development plan. Training is done at game speed with maximum effort, using position-specific drills that replicate real match situations.
04
TRACK & ADJUST
Development isn’t linear. Coach Tumi tracks progress against the player’s goals and adjusts the plan as they grow. He works with parents to keep players accountable and on track, so the work in training translates to real improvement in games.
WHAT PLAYERS WORK ON
FOCUS AREAS

FIRST TOUCH & BALL MASTERY
The foundation of everything. A clean first touch and comfort with the ball at your feet lets a player solve most problems on the pitch. This is where every development plan starts.
TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING
As players develop technically, the focus expands to reading the game — positioning, decision-making, and understanding how to play within a team structure. Training is done in position-specific areas of the pitch so concepts transfer directly to match situations.
1V1 ABILITY & CHANGE OF DIRECTION
The ability to beat a defender, create space, and change direction with the ball is what separates good players from dangerous ones. Coach Tumi prioritizes dribbling and 1v1 confidence in every player he works with.
MINDSET & MENTAL PERFORMANCE
Technical skill means nothing without the confidence to use it. Coach Tumi builds mental resilience through goal setting, positive reinforcement, and creating an environment where players are safe to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them.
WHAT PLAYERS GAIN
WHAT YOUR PLAYER WALKS AWAY WITH
CONFIDENCE ON THE BALL
Players develop real confidence — not from praise alone, but from stacking small wins in training, mastering new skills, and seeing themselves improve. Confident players take risks, express themselves, and perform when it matters.
A SHARPER, MORE COMPLETE GAME
Better touch, cleaner technique, smarter decisions. Players who train with Coach Tumi don’t just work hard — they develop the tools to solve problems on the pitch without needing a coach or teammate to tell them what to do.
A MINDSET BUILT TO LAST
Growth mindset, goal setting, accountability, and the discipline to keep showing up when nobody’s watching. This holistic approach builds the habits that separate serious players from casual ones — and they’re skills that transfer far beyond soccer.
