Creativity Is Trainable

We’re the first training system in sport built to develop timing as a skill. Timing is the technique.
Frame by frame, in slow motion, through surgically precise video feedback. We help players build creative fluency in games.

Know the Logic That Makes Our Training Essential

The Spark

Creativity begins in the brain—as a neural signal linking perception to motion.

Train The Timing

The speed and precision of that signal is trainable—through our guided program.

Why It Matters

Timing beats speed. Precision beats power. So creativity—when trained—beats raw athleticism.

The Promise

Your kid doesn’t need to be the fastest or the strongest to dominate. They need to be their creative best. We believe this at our core. It’s the edge no stopwatch can measure.

Meet The Founder

“This 18-year-old video conversation on creativity wasn’t the beginning—it was a glimpse of a fire already burning. The Soccer Climb isn’t a pivot to digital convenience. It’s Avila Soccer, climbing beyond Austin. Same principles. Same rigor. Just reaching further. Because creativity doesn’t expire. It evolves.”

Get “A-ha!” Moments in Minutes

We’ve all felt it—years of practice, and still no real breakthrough. That’s why we built The Soccer Climb: to spark the kind of a-ha moments shown in the accompanying video.

This Soccer Climb kid didn’t just learn a move. He unlocked something- including a belief in himself.

Imagine your child stepping onto the field with undeniable presence— shoulders lifted, eyes locked in, every touch purposeful. Confidence, skill, and clarity. Not someday—starting now.

What You'll Get

Player Insight Library

Real clips and real talk. Players will finally understand what “play quicker” or “make smarter decisions” really means—on the field, not just in theory.

Personalized Video Feedback

Send in footage and get real-time coaching. We pause, react, and explain. No automated scores, no fluff. Just personal insight that helps your player grow.

Supportive Community

You’ll connect with other families walking this same path. Share notes, wins, and reminders that you’re not alone in this.

The Five Ways You Check In on the Climb

We’ve chosen the five creativity categories that matter most—each one an elevation marker, like a checkpoint on a mountain. Don’t worry—we’ll throw flares. As your player submits videos in these categories, our feedback will help them to see exactly where they stand, and how far they’ve climbed.

Juggling Breakdown

You’ll receive frame-by-frame feedback with visual overlays that dissect your juggling mechanics—timing, posture, angle, and rhythm. Every submission is returned with annotated vectors and slow-motion analysis, so you don’t just see what went wrong—you understand why it happened and how to fix it. This is not generic coaching. It’s surgical insight.

Shooting Mechanics Deconstruction

Based on Coach Eryck’s doctoral research, we break down the 18 universal mechanical principles that govern elite shooting form. Every submission is dissected across the full stroke path of a shot - approach posture, release angle, turning radius, rotary momentum, critical velocity, and follow-through. This isn’t surface-level correction. It’s biomechanical truth. Every movement becomes deliberate, every release designed. You won’t just learn to shoot—you’ll learn to engineer the moment.

Dribbling Move Analysis

Players gain rare access to the Avila Vault—a fiercely protected archive of epically creative soccer moves, each crafted over decades of expressive experimentation. These aren’t just tricks. They’re artifacts of timing, deception, and spatial poetry. Every move is broken down in slow motion, revealing the hidden mechanics and emotional logic behind its execution. Submissions are returned with annotated feedback that helps players not just replicate the move—but understand its rhythm, its purpose, and its soul.

The Avila Vault is where movement becomes myth. For the first time, players can study the footwork that built a legacy—each move a coded message in rhythm and disruption.
Wall Work

Wall work is the most overlooked—and most transformative—of the acceleration-rich environments. Players who commit to it don’t just improve; they develop a smoothness that sticks to them like a shadow. The wall becomes a sparring partner, a rhythm keeper, a mirror for timing and posture. We’ll equip your player with dozens of creative variations that sharpen expressive control and build swagger from the ground up. If there’s a shortcut to confidence, this is it.

Environmentally Dependent Activities (Highly Recommended)

Wall work and Small-Sided Scrimmaging are two of the most powerful environments for training timing, decision-making, and expressive control. We highly recommend engaging in both—but we also recognize that not every player has access to a wall or a team. That’s why we encourage video submissions for these two activities. Even a short clip gives us the opportunity to deconstruct your player’s habits, highlight overlooked moments, and return personalized insights that sharpen their soccer IQ. These environments reveal what structured drills can’t—and our feedback will help your player see the game in a whole new way.

Small-Sided Scrimmages

Small-sided scrimmaging is the fastest way to sharpen decision-making and unlock creative intelligence. In tight spaces, the game reveals its true structure—passing lanes, triangles, and off-the-ball movement that shape every moment. We highly recommend submitting this type of footage because it exposes overlooked soccer IQ insights. Our analysis breaks down missed opportunities and hidden options, helping your player see the game’s geometry and respond with intention. Once they recognize the patterns, creativity isn’t a guess - it’s a skill they can train.

Player Journeys

Creativity Isn't Handed Down

It’s drawn out—as seen in this clip. This isn’t just teamwork. It’s a language—spoken in timing, in space. These aren’t passes It’s a conversation. A rhythm only they can hear.

You’re watching a neural exchange—timing, variation, and trust in perfect sync. Not taught. Triggered.

These are Soccer Climb kids.

What To Expect

PARENTS
Week 1: Orientation & Spark You’ll feel a shift almost immediately. Your player will recognize patterns, hear new language, and start to view the ball not just as an object—but as a tool. It’s the first breath of altitude, and it feels different. PLAYERS
Week 1: Clarity & Confidence You’ll finally have a window into how soccer actually works. No more feeling lost on the sidelines. The core principles start to click—and your belief in this journey skyrockets.
PARENTS
Month 1: Foundations Set Confidence builds as biomechanics, precision, and timing begin to click. Your player starts watching the video analysis again, this time not to learn what, but to refine how. The Compass is starting to guide them. PLAYERS
Month 1: Shared Language You and your child begin speaking the same soccer language. You’ll know what “predictive momentum” means and why it matters. The climb becomes something you’re both on together.
PARENTS
Month 2: Momentum Builds We’re climbing now. Players are applying patterns with purpose in pickup games and practices. The video feedback loop kicks in—personal, emotionally intelligent, and deeply validating. PLAYERS
Month 2: Meaningful Conversations Feedback isn’t just noise—it’s nourishment. Your player talks about drills and chapters with excitement. And when you watch their video feedback together, it feels personal, human and alive.
PARENTS
Month 3: Identity Emerges Your child doesn’t just play anymore—they believe. Creative decision-making, better timing, new boldness. Parents often say, “They look like a totally different player.” That’s not magic—it’s method. PLAYERS
Month 3: Recognition of Growth You begin to see the layers—the timing behind the move, the precision under pressure. It’s not just improvement. It’s insight. You’re no longer just watching soccer. You understand it.
PARENTS
Month 4: Mastery Mindset Your player’s game has more why behind every move. Patterns, timing, and precision become second nature. Leadership habits develop, and their ability to self-analyze and self-correct improves exponentially. PLAYERS
Month 4: Deeper Connection From weekend pickup to weekday scrimmages, you feel more engaged, more connected. Your sideline cheers are sharper, your post-game talks more enriching. Your child sees you not as a spectator—but as a guide.
PARENTS
Months 5–8: The Climb Becomes Yours What started as training becomes identity. Your player becomes fluent in the language of movement, emotion, and precision. The video content, feedback, and personalized attention now feel like tools they wield—not support they rely on. They’ve stepped into ownership—and they know it. PLAYERS
Months 5–8: Purposeful Support You become the kind of parent every athlete dreams of. Informed, inspired, and equipped to support without smothering. You’re the emotional safety net and the quiet champion. The climb changed them—but it transformed you, too.
