ABOUT the course:

Hosted by Game Plan Fútbol | 1-Hour On-Site Player Session

Most young players don’t know how to watch their own game film—so they miss one of the most powerful tools for growth.  

Unlock your soccer brain. In this 60-minute session, the team from Game Plan Fútbol—college players who came through MLS academies, earned youth national team call-ups, and secured college scholarships—teach young athletes how to study their own game film with purpose.

  • Pre-Analysis
    Players will learn how to set personal goals, reflect honestly, and take accountability—laying the foundation for intentional development.
  • Film Analysis
    Using real game clips of Mateo and Iyke, players in the course are taught how to assess body positioning, decision making, technical execution, and tactical awareness.
  • Post-Analysis
    Athletes will learn how to turn insights into action—creating individualized next steps for training and improvement.
    ​
Each player will also receive a downloadable worksheet to help them track their analysis and apply what they’ve learned independently.

​At Nexus, we create players who think critically, train with purpose, and take ownership of their journey. This experience gives them the tools to do exactly that.
