Philosophy
At the IMG Soccer Academy, we are committed to the development and placement
of our individual players. The success of our organization is based upon the
principles of Unity, Trust, Humility, Discipline, Superior Effort and Pride. These
principles, our staffs’ commitment, and our complete analysis of every component of
the game make it possible to turn the game you dream about into a reality.
Dedicated to total player development, we offer the most comprehensive program in
the nation
Soccer Training includes both technical and tactical elements essential to the game. The individual and team skills vital
to success in soccer are stressed in a competitive environment. The soccer program is designed to help players perform
and execute high level technique while demonstrating a keen insight into the game's nuances.
Performance Training is implemented by the IMG Performance Institute (IPI). These coaches are the experts in their
field. Aspects of speed, agility, quickness, strength, power, endurance and nutrition are addressed on a daily basis.
IMG Academies’ Mental Conditioning focuses on continuous psychological improvement. Personal awareness, self-
confidence, motivation, discipline, goal setting and team building are used as tools to increase effectiveness in pressure
situations and daily play.
The integration of these three components allows every student to realize their highest potential. We produce dynamic
individuals who are an asset to any team, regardless of the system or style of play.
