It’s no secret that data analysis and performance analysis are both lightyears ahead of where we used to be in the beautiful game. But many players, coaches, and agents do not have access to high-quality analysis. The vast majority of analytics companies work with professional clubs, without properly linking analysis to the team and player’s own unique individual needs. Meanwhile, performance analysis and data analysis tends to be exclusive to professional environments in Europe and the United States, and even more exclusive to men’s football. This is where our Consultation Masterclass comes in!

$80.99 CAD – CONSULTATION CALL + REPORT

During the consultation, we will primarily focus on the tactical side of the game, but with a recognition that all five corners are interrelated. We’ll dive deep into my scanning system (BOTS) and refine the tactical notations of your game to gain a deeper understanding of the how, when, where, and why to decision making.

All you have to do is fill out my contact form and let me know what you want to see. This might include…

As the founder of TheMastermindSite.com back in 2016, I have proudly created one of the biggest tactics & analysis websites about the beautiful game. Combining my knowledge of writing, coaching, analysis and the game as a whole, I want to help you take your craft to the next level.

In 2020, I helped over 75 undergraduate students at Western University in London, ON, develop their coaching craft, in a three month Coaching & Leadership course. A month later, I began my path as the Technical Director of the club I started my coaching career with, helping coach, mentor and develop close to 100 coaches. In 2021, I began working with current and former professional players, helping them develop their knowledge and ideas about the game, improve their performance and prepare for life in the coaching world. Throughout that time, I have accumulated training through MBP and the PFSA in the realms of analysis, scouting and performance-based football; the OS, CSA, and HighFive in coaching & mentorship; and worked with coaches around the world from 20+ nations. I have since returned to Western University to continue mentoring young, aspiring coaches, as a University Lecturer in the subject of Coaching & Leadership.

Since the start of my mentorship masterclass, I have worked with professional players, former pros developing their coaching craft, industry-leading writers, and community coaches. Not every professional environment has the ability to afford a performance analyst, so I offer an alternative option for players and coaches to take their knowledge and game understanding to the next level, developing solutions, training techniques and tactical understandings through the analysis of video footage in a 1-on-1 setting where continuous feedback can be applied.
