1v1 Skills Are Key

Become a Master of Your Craft.

#1 SPEED & AGILITY

It all starts with movement and being able to accomplish the physical demands of the sport. Our specific drills hone in on the most important evaluation metrics in the game from quickness to recover rate, to longer runs with the ball.

#2 FIRST TOUCH

One of the most important building blocks for 1v1 skill development is fine tuning the first touch. This applies to both sides of the ball (offense and defense) whether you are taking the ball out of the air to strike on goal or prepping a touch for a clearance to get your team out of danger.

#3 OFFENSIVE SKILLS

Everyone loves to build the attack and get numbers up to score, and TSX looks at strategic scenarios to evaluate how a player can improve. Knowing that each player has something unique to offer, The Soccer Experts provide a large enough context to allow for creativity and personal style.

#4 DEFENSIVE SKILLS

No matter where you play or what team you are on, defense is a crucial aspect to the beautiful game. Coach Desmond, TSX's founder and CEO, was a sublime defender for the US National Team. The exercises seek to create a strong foundation and see where there are areas for improvement.

#5 1v1 BATTLES

Once the foundational groundwork has been laid, TSX generates live scenarios where the skills of attacking and defending come into view. Because we have created an excellent frame intitially through the preliminary steps, greater context and learning can be achieved as players compete against great competition.

#6 TEAM AWARENESS

TSX brings it all together as we blend the 1v1 skillsets to merge with the greater team aspect of playing. Here our aim is to showcase how the skill development can truly enhance the player's ability to compete at a higher level within systems and formations. Although TSX has a primary goal of building individual skills, we want to help players bridge this gap of situational awareness as well.
