Build 1v1 dominance and confidence under pressure.
The Impact Playmaker Challenge helps players who already have the ball control turn that skill into 1v1 dominance — staying confident under pressure and reading the game fast enough to find the right solution, every time.
Real families, real results
"As a coach myself, I was blown away with the attention to detail and instruction — they are incredible."
"Coach Enzo holds one-on-one check-ins where kids walk out with takeaways that are extremely specific. … For my daughter, that specificity has been the difference between ambition and progress."
"Coach Enzo has been nothing short of transformational in my son's soccer journey."
"Coach Enzo has had a tremendous impact on my son, both as a player and especially in his development as a goalkeeper."
"Players training with Coach Enzo and Playmaker Lab play at a visibly higher level."
"My son's confidence on the ball has grown tremendously. He's more comfortable receiving the ball under pressure, making decisions more quickly, and taking on greater responsibility during games."
Win the 1v1. Stay composed. Read the game.
Players already have the ball control — this Challenge turns that skill into 1v1 dominance, confidence under pressure, and the game IQ to find the right solution when it matters. See exactly how it comes together in the video above.
1v1 Dominance
Winning the individual battle, on the ball and off it, so a player beats defenders instead of just surviving them.
Confidence Under Pressure
Staying composed with a defender closing in, so pressure stops being the moment a player's game falls apart.
Game IQ Under Pressure
Reading the situation fast and finding the right solution — pass, dribble, or move — before the pressure decides for them.
What actually happens in the Challenge?
What does the Challenge actually look like?
In-person sessions in Berkeley, CA, built around the Playmaker Blueprint — the same approach behind our year-round program. High-touch coaching means each player gets individualized feedback built around 1v1 dominance, confidence under pressure, and game IQ, built on real game situations, not generic cones-and-ladders training.
Who's the right fit for the Challenge?
Good Fit
- Already has dependable ball control, but struggles to transfer that technical ability into the actual game
- Determined to work hard and make real changes to their game
- Has a real growth mindset — wants to become the best they can be and is willing to act on it, not just get a little better to impress their friends
- Committed to showing up for all 12 weeks — consistency is what makes the Challenge work
Not Yet
- Hasn't yet built a minimum foundational touch or technical ability on the ball
- Not yet ready to apply themselves or take ownership of their own growth
- Looking for a silver bullet — wants to be good without putting in the work
What's the format?
12 weeks, one 90-minute session each week. We use rolling admission, so your player can start as soon as a spot opens up rather than waiting for the next fixed start date.
What changes for my player?
Your player gets the opportunity to build 1v1 dominance, confidence under pressure, and the game IQ to find the right solution in tight moments — plus direct feedback from Coach Enzo on exactly what to work on next. Real change depends on them showing up and putting in the work to actually apply what they learn, in sessions and beyond them. The Challenge is the starting point; players who put in the work often carry that momentum straight into our year-round program.
How much does it cost?
$1,200 for the full Challenge — 12 weeks, one 90-minute session each week. Spots are limited to keep coaching high-touch, with real individualized feedback for every player. It's backed by our guarantee: if your player finishes the program and doesn't feel it was worth it, I'll keep working with them at no additional cost until you're satisfied. Once you book a call, we'll confirm it's the right fit and get your player scheduled.
How do we get started?
Book a call. We'll talk about your player, confirm it's the right fit, and get them scheduled.
You take on zero risk
We're so confident in our ability to blow you away with the same coaching that's earned 81 five-star reviews that I personally back the Challenge with a commitment guarantee.
If your player shows up, puts in the work, and finishes the 12 weeks feeling like it wasn't valuable, I'll keep working with them, at no additional cost, until you are satisfied.
