If you're a parent of a competitive player, you've probably seen this…
This isn't a technical problem.
It's how their mind reacts under pressure.
THE MISSING PIECE
This isn't more training. It's the missing piece.
Most players don't struggle because of skill they struggle because their mindset changes under pressure.

WHY THIS EXISTS
Why this program exists
I built this after seeing how many talented players struggle to perform in games not because they lack skill, but because of how they handle pressure.
After working with hundreds of players, one pattern became clear:
Confidence isn't something you hope for.
It's something you train.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just motivation or actual training?
No. This is structured mental performance training. We don't rely on motivation or positive thinking. Players learn specific tools they can apply in real game situations:
- How to reset immediately after mistakes
- How to stay confident under pressure
- How to stop overthinking in games
Everything is designed to transfer directly onto the field.
How is this different from a sports psychologist?
Most sports psychologists work session-by-session and focus heavily on conversation. This program is different because:
- It follows a structured system over 90 days
- Players practice tools consistently, not just talk about them
- Everything is built specifically for soccer situations
The focus is not just understanding the problem. It's changing behavior in games.
Will this actually help my child perform better in games?
If your child completes the program and applies the tools, yes. That's the goal. Most players we work with already have the skill. The issue is how they react under pressure. What typically improves:
- Confidence in matches
- Ability to recover after mistakes
- Willingness to take risks
- Consistency between training and games
That said, results depend on the player's engagement and consistency.
What age group is this for?
This program is designed for competitive players, typically between 9 and 18 years old. The tools are adapted based on age and level so they are simple and applicable.
Is this done in person or online?
The program is fully online. This allows players to:
- Access training consistently regardless of location
- Review tools anytime
- Apply what they learn directly in their own training and games
What matters is not location. It's repetition and application.
How much time does this require each week?
We keep it simple and manageable:
- 1 weekly session
- Short daily exercises (around 10 minutes)
- Match reflection after games
The goal is consistency, not overload.
Will I be involved as a parent?
Yes, but not in a way that adds stress. Parents receive:
- Clear understanding of what their child is working on
- Progress updates
- Guidance on how to support without adding pressure
You won't be left guessing.
What if my child doesn't take it seriously?
This is one of the most important factors. The program works best for players who want to improve, are open to learning, and follow the process consistently. If a player is not engaged, results will be limited, just like with any type of training.
How quickly do players see changes?
Some players notice changes within the first few weeks. For most, noticeable improvement happens within 4 to 8 weeks. Long-term confidence and consistency develop through the full program.
What does success look like?
Success is not just feeling confident. It looks like:
- Demanding the ball instead of hiding
- Staying composed after mistakes
- Playing aggressively instead of safe
- Showing the same level in games as in training
That's what we're building.
How much does the program cost?
The Di Lorenzo Soccer Mindset Academy is a private mindset mentoring program, not a high-ticket course or generic online product. Most families invest between $1,500 and $6,000 depending on the level of support and the plan recommended by your admission coach. We go over all details during the parent call to make sure it's the right fit.
Is there a guarantee?
We stand behind the program, but results depend on the player doing the work. If a player fully commits and doesn't see progress, we continue working with them beyond the program to help them improve.
How do I know if this is the right fit?
The best next step is to book a parent call. We'll walk through what your child is currently struggling with, whether this program can help, and what the process would look like. If it's not a good fit, we'll tell you.
