PIT Soccer Academy Mission
At PIT SOCCER ACADEMY our mission is to create the highest quality training environment at the best soccer facility in North Texas. We believe in a positive and comprehensive approach, to encouraging and supporting players of all ages and ability levels who are looking to make new friends, stay active and chase their soccer dreams.
What Makes PSA Different?
The PIT’s training programs are focused on personalized player development in a team environment. With everyone individualizing the game so much, it’s easy to forget that soccer requires teamwork. That’s why we focus on skill-building in a team environment here at PIT+. With multiple ages and skill levels, it is easy to find the right session for your son or daughter each week.
PIT Soccer Academy offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to player development, going beyond just honing physical skills on the field. Focusing on mental, emotional, and cognitive behavioral skills is increasingly recognized as crucial in creating well-rounded athletes. Here are the key aspects of our program:
- Comprehensive Development: By addressing both physical and psychological aspects, Pit Soccer Academy aims to develop players into not only skilled athletes but also well-rounded individuals. This will contribute to their success not only on the field but also in various aspects of life.
- Cognitive Skill Enhancement: The emphasis on cognitive skills, such as quick thinking, situational awareness, and decision-making, is our commitment to developing soccer intelligence. This will give players a competitive edge by enabling them to read and respond to game situations more effectively.
- Activity Progression: The use of activity progression to engage decision-making indicates our structured and strategic approach to training. This will help players progressively build and apply their skills in a way that challenges them and encourages continuous improvement.
- Fast-Paced Training: The incorporation of fast-paced training with minimal downtime provides a dynamic and intense training environment. This will help players develop not only physical endurance but also mental agility, ensuring they are accustomed to the demands of real-game situations.
- Attention to Emotional Well-being: The acknowledgment of dealing with unwanted emotions is essential for the mental health of players. Teaching them how to manage emotions during high-pressure situations will contribute to their resilience and overall well-being.
- Multiple Activity Transitions: Using multiple transitions between activities will help maintain players’ focus and engagement. This is crucial for effective learning and skill retention.
- Situational Memory Training: The mention of remembering situations that have happened implies a focus on situational memory training. This is vital for players to learn from their experiences and apply those lessons in future games.
