About Us

Why did we start Strike ID Camps?

 

STRIKEid is a unique experience focused on attacking-soccer training for elite coaches to work with and identify college and pro-aspiring players. Professional sports-psychology development runs through the core of our STRIKE A5 focus on: attitude, awareness, attention, attacking, adjustment. Beyond our camps and clinics, follow up training and networking enhances player pathways to the right coach and program to STRIKE next.

Strike id is a comprehensive training camp that connects elite soccer players to elite coaches while developing enhanced tactical, functional and mental skills in each player. Science based sport-psychology runs through our A5 philosophy focusing on attitude, awareness, attention, attack, adjustment.

STRIKE id co-develops attack-oriented mindset strategies, tools and training programs for elite soccer players.
