Work with me

Start with what is in the way.

Your players train well, then don't show it on Saturday. Or your child has stalled, and nobody can say why. Every option starts with a free 20-minute intro call, so we agree what is in the way before you pay for anything.

Prices in US dollars.

Free intro call

For anyone deciding whether this fits.

Twenty minutes, free, by video. Find out if it fits. No pitch.

Intro call
Free20 minutes

For coaches, players, parents and clubs.

What happens
You tell me about the player or coach, what is going well and what seems to be in the way. I suggest the option that fits, or tell you if something else would serve you better.
You get
A clear next step, whether or not we work together.
01

Coach mentoring

For coaches whose players don't carry training into games.

Your plan looks right on paper. Then the ball stops every two minutes, and the players who looked sharp in the drill freeze in the game. Mentoring starts from your own sessions and fixes that, one change at a time.

Single session
$1501 hour

For a coach with one problem worth an hour: a session that isn't working, a team that won't play forward, a parent conversation you keep putting off.

What happens
Send a session plan, a clip or the problem beforehand. We test it against the four pillars: ball rolling time, intensity, looks like football, and a real defensive problem.
You get
A reworked plan, and one change to make at your next session.
Timeline
One 1-hour video call.
3-month block
$7503 months

For a coach who wants to change how they coach across a season.

What happens
Two 1-hour calls a month. Between calls I review your session plans or video, and you can message me as questions come up. We build on CDE, the four moments, and team and individual intentions.
You get
Sessions you have timed and tested, a game model your players can speak, and a routine for managing your own state on the touchline.
Timeline
3 months, 6 calls. Works out at $125 a call, with reviews and messages included.

Player analysis and coaching

For players who feel stuck, and parents who want a clear picture.

A stuck player is rarely short of effort. They are missing a picture, a decision, or a way back after a mistake. This week finds which one, from their own match footage.

5-day block
$1,0005 x 1 hour

For players from youth to senior football. Under 18s book with a parent or guardian, who joins the intro call and receives the written analysis.

What happens
Five 1-hour sessions across one week, by video or in person around Chicago.
You get
A written analysis, the clips that matter with notes, a reset routine, and a six-week plan the player owns.
  1. Day 1Watch and talk: footage, goals and what the player thinks is in the way.
  2. Day 2The picture: scanning, 360 support and the progress option.
  3. Day 3The decision: intentions, range and pinning in their position.
  4. Day 4The moment: pressure, mistakes and a reset routine.
  5. Day 5Review, and the plan the player owns.
03

Private analysis

For professional players who want an outside eye, in confidence.

An independent view of your game, kept between us.

Private analysis
By enquiryConfidential

For professional players.

What happens
We agree the scope together: match footage, the decisions behind your actions, and the moments that keep costing you. Sessions fit around training and matches.
You get
A private analysis and a plan, shared with no one unless you choose.
04

Talks, workshops and consulting

For directors, coaching staff and parent groups.

When every coach teaches a different game, players start again each time they move up. Talks, workshops and consulting give a club one language for developing players.

Talks and workshops
By enquiryOn site or online

For coaching staff, club leaders and parent groups.

What happens
A talk or a hands-on workshop. In Four Pillars in Practice, coaches guessed their ball rolling time at anywhere from 58 to 90 per cent. Few had timed it, and the ones who had came in lower. Every workshop starts from evidence like that, taken from your coaches' own sessions.
Topics
  • Four Pillars in Practice
  • The Player in the Game
  • Team culture: a value lasts when a routine carries it
  • The game as the model, youngest team to oldest
  • Performance, potential and interference
You get
Something every coach in the room can try at their next session, and the materials to keep it going.
Club consulting
By enquiryScoped together

For clubs building or rebuilding how they develop players and coaches.

What happens
We look at how the club plays, trains and brings in new coaches, then build what is missing: the game as the model from the youngest team to the oldest, coach education from your coaches' own sessions, and culture carried by routines a new staff member can see in their first week.
You get
A clear plan, a shared language to carry it, and the first steps under way.
Questions

Before you book.

Anything else, ask on the intro call or by email.

What happens on the free intro call?

Twenty minutes by video to talk about the player or coach, what is going well and what you think is in the way. I'll suggest the option that fits, or tell you if something else would serve you better. There is no cost and no obligation.

Is this about football, or the mental side?

Both, because players don't separate them. A decision under pressure is a football action and a human one. We work on what a player sees and chooses, and on how they handle the moment, using the same methods I coach with.

Can a parent book for their child?

Yes. For players under 18, a parent or guardian books, joins the intro call and receives the written analysis.

Where do sessions happen?

Calls run by video. Player sessions can be by video or in person around Chicago, and we agree what suits on the intro call.

How do I pay?

Priced options are paid securely by card through Stripe when you book. Prices are in US dollars. Enquiry options get a written quote after the intro call.

What if I need to move a session?

Email me as early as you can and we will find another time.

Do you work with clubs outside Chicago?

Yes. Talks, workshops and consulting can run on site or online. Tell me where you are and what you have in mind.

Free intro call

Start with twenty minutes.

Tell me about the player or the coach, and what seems to be in the way. If one of my options fits, I'll say which one. If none does, I'll tell you that too. No pitch, and no obligation.
