The Mental Toughness Program (MTP) is designed for highly aspiring soccer players to develop the mental skills needed to be successful on and off the field. We believe that mental toughness is just as important as physical skill when it comes to excelling in soccer, and our MTP is designed to help players cultivate the mindset and habits needed to succeed.

Through monthly 1-hour zoom classes, students will learn the essential skills of being mentally tough. The MTP kicks off with a self-analysis of the Five Pillars of a Champion before moving on to modules Creating a Self-Image, Instilling Affirmations, Being Process Minded, Visualizing to Perform, Competing to Win, Leading from Within, Persevering through Pressure, Building Resiliency, Dealing with Adversity and Fueling Self Confidence. 

In addition to the zoom classes, students will have access to an MEP handbook to help them continue developing their mental toughness outside class. Our program is designed to be a year-round commitment, with the goal of helping players build lasting habits and skills that will benefit them both on and off the field.

We believe that mental toughness is a key component of success in soccer, and we are committed to helping our students reach their full potential. If you are ready to take your mental game to the next level, we invite you to join us in the Mental Toughness Program.

This program is led by James Galanis, who has helped lay the foundation of mental frameworks for some of the top players in the world.
