What pros are saying about Kickoff

“I wish I had known when I was younger that being a pro is 90% about what you do off the field to prepare for the 10% when you’re on it.”

Sean KaraniSarasota Paradise (USL League One)

“Having a platform such as Kickoff while I was growing up not only would have helped me grow as a player but as a person as well.”

Ryan BecherFort Wayne FC (USL League One)

“I wish I had access to this growing up to understand the different paths others take and how unique each soccer journey is. If I were a kid today, I would use this to learn what it truly takes to reach the different levels of American soccer.”

Nate CrockfordSan Jose Earthquakes (MLS)

“If I had access to this when I was younger I would’ve used it not only to help me with all of my soccer needs, but also picked their brain on what the pros do outside of soccer to make them play at the top level. I’m excited to continue helping out!”

Nico BenalcazarOrange County SC (USL Championship)

“Having the ability to connect and hear the stories of current professional players would’ve been so useful and inspiring for me growing up. Knowing that my dreams could be achieved and that I could learn high-level details to give me an advantage on the field would’ve pushed me to train even harder.”

Tucker LepleyLA Galaxy (MLS)

“I wish I would’ve had access to information like this when I was a player coming up. I’ve learned so much from older mentors who have provided me advice based on their own experience, and this is a culmination of that all in one place!”

Tommy SilvaDetroit City FC (USL Championship)

What is Kickoff?

Kickoff is a youth soccer development platform that gives competitive players access to expert-reviewed study guides, professional player interview videos, and an AI assistant trained on verified pro insights. It covers the off-field areas that most clubs and coaches don’t have time to teach: nutrition for youth soccer players, mental performance, recovery and sleep, lifestyle habits, physical conditioning, and college soccer recruiting.

Contributors include active MLS and USL players, registered sports dietitians, sport psychologists working with professional clubs, athletic trainers, and NCAA coaches from programs like UCLA, University of the Pacific, and Lehigh University.

What does a subscription get me access to?

A Kickoff subscription gives you access to live interview style videos with American professional soccer players, comprehensive study guides covering nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, mental game, recruiting, and more, and personalized Q&A through our AI chatbot trained on the knowledge of our professional players, coaches, and performance staff.

Together, these resources provide reliable and practical information to help guide players and families through every stage of the youth soccer journey.

How does Kickoff help youth soccer players?

Kickoff helps youth soccer players by offering a comprehensive collection of knowledge on everything beyond practice and games. These areas are essential parts of becoming a complete player but are often difficult for players, parents, and clubs to access or fully understand.

It provides valuable information that would typically require costly resources, such as working with a nutritionist, hiring a college soccer mentor, or consulting with an athletic trainer. Compiled by top experts in the sport, Kickoff delivers accurate and accessible insights on lifestyle, nutrition, recovery, mindset, and other key factors that contribute to a player’s overall development.

How much does Kickoff cost?

We have a couple of different pricing options for clubs and individual players that can be found by clicking here.

How does Kickoff help youth soccer players get recruited to college?

Kickoff includes dedicated study guides on the college soccer recruiting process, covering how to create a recruiting profile, when to reach out to coaches, what college programs look for beyond athletic ability, and how to evaluate scholarship opportunities. Members also hear directly from professional players who went through Division 1 programs about what they wish they’d known during the recruiting process.

Why should I use Kickoff instead of ChatGPT?

Kickoff is purpose-built for competitive youth soccer, ChatGPT is not. The Kickoff AI assistant is trained exclusively on content created by verified professionals in American soccer: pro players, sports dietitians, sport psychologists, and athletic trainers (view a list of contributors here). That means answers reflect the real standards of high-level soccer development, not generic health or fitness advice from the open internet.

Kickoff also provides structured study guides and video interviews that give players a proven, coherent development framework – not isolated answers to one-off questions. If you’re serious about improving as a soccer player, Kickoff gives you the specific, verified knowledge that ChatGPT can’t.
