Experienced Coaches
Committed to Youth Development
Our Story
My training company originated in November 2021 with Peak Training Co . We rebranded in August 2025 to create Seven Peaks Soccer Training Co. This company was created to help players focus on their individual development in relation to their technical skills and movement off the ball and improve their confidence.
This training program will precisely change how each player moves with and without the ball. Each player over the course of 10 weeks will demonstrate core strength, precise functional movement, and much better technical skill on the ball.
Our Philosophy
We believe in a holistic approach to developmental training. Small group training will focus on coordination, balance, technical skill without pressure, and technical skill with pressure. We also feel that time should be used on task, not waiting in lines. We train all players, from beginners to highly advanced. We work with MLS Next, ECNL, Girls Academy, E64, and MSPSP, to name a few. Players training at Peak have moved onto ACC, Big 12, Big 10, Atlantic 10, SEC, MAC, and Horizon NCAA Division 1 schools. We have been fortunate to help a few professionals during this time as well while coaching in the USL Championship and pushing players further.
Our Methods
Each small group session consists of 4 sections. Each 10-week course has a curriculum that we follow vigorously.
Activation: Part 1
5-10 minutes of speed and agility work to improve the balance, coordination, and motor skills.
Technical (Unopposed): Part 2
15-25 minutes of technique taught on the ball to be successful and build confidence.
Technical (Opposed): Part 3
15-25 minutes of pressure on the ball while working on technique taught within part 2.
Core/Strength: Part 4
5-10 minutes of core and strength work that is specific to the function of the game with a cool down.
Our Passion for Soccer Drives Every Training Session
