Starting in 2026, Elite Soccer Academy training will officially evolve with a stronger focus on cognitive development. This means we’re not just training feet anymore. We’re training the brain behind the feet. Straight from Germany! 🇩🇪 We’ll be integrating RESWITCH, a proven training tool designed to improve: - Game awareness - Faster decision-making - Reaction speed - Focus under pressure Young players often struggle not because they lack skill, but because the game moves too fast mentally. RESWITCH helps train players to read situations quicker, make confident decisions, and act instantly, all while keeping sessions engaging and fun. The biggest benefits for younger players: - Better understanding of the game at an earlier age - Improved confidence on the ball - Faster learning without overloading them physically - More enjoyable, challenging sessions that keep them motivated This is not screen-based training. It’s on-field, movement-based, and age-appropriate, seamlessly built into our normal sessions. Our goal has always been simple: Develop smarter players, not just harder workers. This upgrade helps us do exactly that. More details will be shared as we approach 2026, but we’re excited about the long-term impact this will have on your child’s development. — Elite Soccer Academy 24

Here are the key takeaways from our nutrition talk: Big takeaways - Before games: prioritize carbs for fuel. Keep it simple and easy to digest. - After games: prioritize carbs + protein ASAP (ideally 30 to 60 minutes after). Then eat a normal meal within a couple hours. - Test foods in practice first. Do not try new stuff on game day. Greek yogurt before games - Plain Greek yogurt can be solid if your athlete tolerates dairy. - Avoid high added sugar yogurts. - Pair it with carbs (fruit, granola, or a drizzle of honey) because carbs are the main fuel. Best post-game option - Low-fat chocolate milk is a great recovery option because it has carbs + protein. - If dairy does not work, do fruit + a protein source (shake, yogurt, or a simple sandwich). - Then eat a real meal later: carbs + protein + vegetables. Morning games - Eat something. Even a small carb snack is better than nothing. - Night before matters: carb-forward dinner, not greasy, not overly sugary. - Use timing: If you want the full recap PDF, click here. 👉 Nutrition Q&A Recap.

We’re breaking down the #6 position tonight. The holding midfielder. The brain of the team. The player that controls tempo, protects the back line, and makes everyone else better. We’ll be using Layla’s game footage as a real example. Actual decisions, positioning, scanning, and movement that separate average mids from impact players. If you play midfield or want to understand the game at a higher level, this is not optional. ⚽ What we’re covering: - How a true #6 reads the game before the ball even arrives - Where to position yourself defensively and in buildup - Common mistakes holding mids make that cost goals - What coaches actually look for in this role 🍽️ We’re also opening it up for nutrition questions Fueling for games Recovery habits Game-day eating What actually matters vs what parents and players overthink This is a live coaching environment. Ask questions. Learn from someone else’s film. Get sharper without even touching the ball. If you’re serious about improving your soccer IQ and taking care of your body the right way, you should be on this call. See you tonight.
