What we do...
Club builds the team. We build the athlete
Club practice is eighteen kids, a few hours a week, and a coach whose job is Saturday's result. That's the right job for that session — but it isn't the job of making one player faster, stronger, or cleaner on the ball.
So the things that actually decide games end up belonging to nobody: first step, top speed, how fast a player changes direction — and the technical side too, first touch under pressure, striking a clean ball, defending one-v-one, finishing when it counts
That's the whole job here.
One athlete at a time, physical and technical in the same hour, with numbers at the start and numbers later so nobody has to guess whether it's working
What a session actually looks like
Inside The Hour
Sixty minutes, built around what the assessment said your athlete needs. Every session follows the same four blocks — the content changes, the structure doesn't.
1
First 10 minutes
Movement prep
A real warm-up not laps. Hips, ankles and hamstrings get ready to produce force, and I watch how your athlete moves before asking them to move fast. Most of what I catch early, I catch here.
2
Next 15 minutes
Speed & change of direction
Acceleration mechanics, top-end running form, cutting and re-planting. This is the block where the 40 time and the 5-10-5 move — and it comes early, while they're fresh, because you can't train speed tired.
3
Next 20 minutes
Strength & power
Jumping, landing, bracing, single-leg work. Soccer is played on one leg at a time, so that's how we load it. This is also where most injury resilience comes from — the ankle and knee that hold up in a 50/50
4
Final 15 minutes
On the ball
The part most performance trainers skip. We take what we just built and use it — first touch under pressure, striking, finishing, one-v-one defending. New speed is only worth something if it shows up with the ball at their feet.

Performance training and soccer training, together
Most trainers do one or the other. A strength coach who's never played, or a technical coach who can't make anyone faster. Both sides belong in the same hour.

How We Know It's Working
Every athlete gets tested. Then tested again.
Three standard tests on day one with professional timing equipment, repeated later so progress is a number in writing — not a feeling, and not my opinion.
40-Yard Dash
Straight-line speed. The sprint that decides a through ball, a breakaway, or getting back when you've been beaten.
40-Yard Dash
Straight-line speed. The sprint that decides a through ball, a breakaway, or getting back when you've been beaten.
Vertical Jump
Explosive power. It shows up in heading, in the first step out of a standstill, and in how hard a player can push off the ground
5-10-5 Shuttle
Change of direction. How fast they stop, turn and go again — the half-step that wins most 50/50 balls.
★★★★★
"Tremendous improvement in my son's confidence, agility, intensity and overall performance on the field. Anthony has a special ability to recognize what a player needs, push them to become better, and build their belief in themselves at the same time. He's become a mentor and a role model."
— BTS Parent
★★★★★
"I trained under Coach Anthony for over 6 weeks and would have continued if I hadn't left to play football in England. I can't believe how much I improved. As a keeper, my explosiveness, strength and footwork are off the charts after training with Behind The Scenes."
— BTS Athlete, now playing in England
What families and players say
Results
★★★★★
"Very well-organized session, with everything necessary to improving your game performance. From strength training combined with isometric and cognitive movement, good for speed and stamina improvement, to amazing finishing drills."
— Professional Player
Who's Training Your Athlete
I'm Anthony — and I'm the only coach here.
Seventeen years in this game. I came up through Montverde Academy, played collegiately at Gannon, and I've spent every year since on a field somewhere. When you book BTS, I'm the one who shows up — not an assistant, not a rotating staff member.
I started Behind The Scenes because I watched good players stall out for reasons nobody was addressing. Not effort, not attitude — a half-step they'd never been taught how to find, or a first touch nobody had the time to fix. That work is invisible from the sideline. It's the part behind the scenes, and it's the whole reason the business has that name.
I also coach in the SIMA pre-academy program at Montverde Academy, which keeps me around high-level youth soccer every week

Questions
What parents ask first
Eleven and up, through high school, college and professional players. The youngest athletes get more movement fundamentals and less loading; the oldest get a program that looks a lot like what a college strength program would run
No. Club practice builds the team — shape, tactics, Saturday's result. This builds the individual athlete: speed and explosiveness on one side, technical work with the ball on the other. They're different jobs, and almost nobody is doing the second one.
Once a week produces steady, visible progress alongside a normal club schedule. Twice a week is where changes come noticeably faster. More than that is usually only right in the off-season, and I'll tell you if I think you're overdoing it.
No. Any package of 10 sessions or more can be split into monthly payments — 10 sessions across two months, 15 across three, 20 across four. Same price either way; there's no financing fee or interest. Payments run automatically on the card you set up, so there's nothing for you to remember.
Wherever works for you — your field, a nearby park, your backyard if there's room. I bring cones, hurdles, bands, timing equipment and balls. You don't drive anywhere and you don't need a gym membership.
That's fine, as long as they want to be there. The one thing that doesn't work is an athlete who's been dragged to the session. If they want to get better, I can work with any starting point.
Yes. Keepers get the same physical foundation with the technical block built around what the position actually demands — explosive lateral movement, getting off the floor fast, and distribution.
