Transform your player's impact on the field.
The Impact Playmaker Challenge helps players who already have the ball control finally turn that skill into real impact — staying composed and effective when receiving, dribbling, and moving off the ball.
Real families, real results
"As a coach myself, I was blown away with the attention to detail and instruction — they are incredible."
"Coach Enzo holds one-on-one check-ins where kids walk out with takeaways that are extremely specific. … For my daughter, that specificity has been the difference between ambition and progress."
"Coach Enzo has been nothing short of transformational in my son's soccer journey."
"Coach Enzo has had a tremendous impact on my son, both as a player and especially in his development as a goalkeeper."
"Players training with Coach Enzo and Playmaker Lab play at a visibly higher level."
"My son's confidence on the ball has grown tremendously. He's more comfortable receiving the ball under pressure, making decisions more quickly, and taking on greater responsibility during games."
Pressure comes from every direction. Build the tools to deal with it.
Players already have the ball control — this Challenge is about turning that skill into composure and impact under pressure. See exactly how it comes together in the video above.
Receiving Under Pressure
First touch and body positioning that let a player take the ball cleanly, even with an opponent closing in.
Dribbling Under Pressure
Ball control and decision-making that hold up when defenders are pressing from multiple angles.
Moving Off the Ball Under Pressure
Knowing when and where to move to create space for yourself and lose your marker, so a player stays available for the next pass.
What actually happens in the Challenge?
What does the Challenge actually look like?
In-person sessions in Berkeley, CA, built around the Playmaker Blueprint — the same approach behind our year-round program. High-touch coaching means each player gets individualized feedback and corrections on the details of receiving, dribbling, and moving off the ball under pressure, built on real game situations, not generic cones-and-ladders training.
Who's the right fit for the Challenge?
Good Fit
- Already has dependable ball control, but struggles to transfer that technical ability into the actual game
- Determined to work hard and make real changes to their game
- Has a real growth mindset — wants to become the best they can be and is willing to act on it, not just get a little better to impress their friends
- Committed to showing up for all 6 sessions — consistency is what makes the Challenge work
Not Yet
- Hasn't yet built a minimum foundational touch or technical ability on the ball
- Not yet ready to apply themselves or take ownership of their own growth
- Looking for a silver bullet — wants to be good without putting in the work
What's the format?
6 sessions, 90 minutes each. We use rolling admission, so your player can start as soon as a spot opens up rather than waiting for the next fixed start date.
What changes for my player?
Your player gets the opportunity to learn concrete, repeatable habits for staying composed on the ball under pressure — receiving, dribbling, and creating space — plus direct feedback from Coach Enzo on exactly what to work on next. Real change depends on them showing up and putting in the work to actually apply what they learn, in sessions and beyond them. The Challenge is the starting point; players who put in the work often carry that momentum straight into our year-round program.
How much does it cost?
$600 for the full Challenge — 6 sessions, 90 minutes each. Spots are limited to keep coaching high-touch, with real individualized feedback for every player.
How do we get started?
Book a call. We'll talk about your player, confirm it's the right fit, and get them scheduled.
You take on zero risk
We're so confident in our ability to blow you away with the same coaching that's earned 81 five-star reviews that I personally back the Challenge with a satisfaction guarantee.
If your player shows up, puts in the work, and finishes the program feeling like they didn't get a level of service equal to — or better than — what you invested, I'll refund you myself.
