Questions, answered

We start with a quick talk to understand the athlete’s current level, goals, training location, and availability (time slots). We prefer WhatsApp, but we can also do text messages, email, or a phone call. From there, we schedule the first session.

Yes. The first session has no cost. We use it to evaluate the athlete and start the first exercises right away.

After the first session, we develop an initial evaluation and share it with the parent. The parent receives a link to our website with credentials to access the secure area.

Typically 60 minutes. If you prefer, we can extend to 90 minutes.

While we set up the goal, we ask the athlete to work on juggling (usually under 5 minutes). Then we go straight into training. Sessions are typically structured around four exercises of about 15 minutes each, with quick water breaks in between. Staying hydrated is important.

The skills we evaluate and train are listed on The Method. A key point is that many mechanics are correlated. For example, sometimes a shooting mechanic that needs fixing is related to a passing mechanic. When we work on one, we may need to work on both. This is part of the initial evaluation and training plan.

Yes. Different positions demand certain skills and mechanics more than others. We discuss this during our talk and throughout training.

Not at this time.

For individual sessions, from the second session onward, the cost is $70 USD per hour per athlete.

Yes, small groups. Group sessions have different rates depending on group size and logistics. Please get in touch and we’ll discuss the specifics.

Our preferred training location is Duane R. Harte Park, but it’s not mandatory. We’re based in Santa Clarita, and we do our best to accommodate a location that works well for the athlete too (with flexibility to move around the LA area depending on schedule and location).

If you have footage/recordings of the athlete, it helps. Even short clips can help us understand current mechanics before the first session.

Water, weather-appropriate training clothes, and the cleats the athlete already has (turf or regular grass). We provide the balls, goals, cones, ropes, and other training materials. We’ll confirm the exact field setup ahead of time.

Consistency is important because we’re training body mechanics and muscle memory. Our recommendation is twice a week. Once a week is the minimum we recommend.

Typically Monday to Friday after 4pm (depending on available slots). Saturday morning can also be made available. We’ll do our best to accommodate the athlete’s schedule.

Parents are welcome to watch. We do our best to accommodate your preferred communication style. We like to provide verbal feedback at the end of every session, and we also provide written evaluations through our secure website. Communication is a two-way street—understanding the method, progress, and next steps helps build trust and momentum.

We track progress through evaluations and session notes. Skills are typically scored on a 1–10 scale (10 = elite execution). We also document mechanics notes and what to focus on next session.

Most of our athletes are 11–16 (middle school and high school), but if your athlete is slightly outside that range, reach out and we’ll confirm fit.

We’re flexible as long as we communicate. If you need to reschedule, please give as much notice as possible so we can offer that time to another athlete.

We’ll confirm the easiest payment method during the initial talk. If you have a preference, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

We usually start session by session. If you prefer a different arrangement, we can discuss and negotiate what makes sense.

We don’t require contracts. Our goal is to give the athlete what they need as efficiently as possible. If your situation requires something more formal, we can discuss it.

Yes. Depending on the needs, we can work with teams or run clinics. Please reach out with details and we’ll propose an approach.

English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

If weather or field availability changes the plan, we’ll coordinate with you to adjust the time and/or location. Our goal is to keep training consistent without making it stressful.
