Clubs that trust BTB with their players

Youth soccer has never been more competitive, or more confusing. Parents are spending thousands with no roadmap. Players are grinding with no direction. Club coaches are stretched thin. Recruiting feels like a mystery no one will explain.

BTB exists because Chris lived that confusion, and then lived the other side of it. Everything on this platform is what he needed at 15 and couldn't find. Built for the player who is serious. Offered to every family who deserves a real answer.

The technical side gets coached. The mental side gets ignored.

Built from years of real world experience.

Our Signature Offer

I wasn't the first pick. I wasn't the standout. I was the kid moved to the B team who had to figure out, mostly alone, what it actually took to keep going.

What followed was D1 soccer at Wisconsin, a Big Ten championship, a first-round MLS Draft pick, and a professional career that took me from Orlando to Scotland to Chicago and eventually to the USMNT.

But the part that built me wasn't the accolades.

It was learning, slowly, from coaches, top players, sports psychologists, and hard experience, how to develop the mental and personal side of the game. The part nobody teaches.

BTB is everything I needed at 15 and couldn't find. Now it's here.

The path
wasn't straight.
That's the point.

Ben K., Parent - Chicago, IL

Definitely, you have a brand, and it sticks out. It's unique, good job, because it's different than anything I've seen.

I loved all of the content. I'm a teacher myself, so I felt that it was very, very well done from a teacher lens, just in the structure of it, short clips and really guided questions.

Carrie G., Parent

It gave us good advice for sending out emails to the colleges.

and getting ready for what to do when we get there, and just how to present yourself so that you give them the best version of yourself.

Matt O., Parent - Naperville, IL

In soccer, he's more confident, and that's awesome to see, and he's reached out in other aspects of his life.

He's grown tremendously through this program. His confidence has gone through the roof. He's just a better person overall.

Amanda R., Parent - Nashville, TN


Forty-nine dollars a month felt like nothing compared to what we were wasting 

on camps that gave zero feedback. My daughter is more focused, more confident, and she's running her own recruiting outreach now. I didn't expect that.

Sarah M., Parent - Chicago, IL

I've spent years trying to piece together the right guidance for my son

from ten different sources. BTB Path 2 Pro was the first thing that actually made sense from start to finish. For the first time, he has a real plan, and I have peace of mind.

Chris doesn't hype you up. He just tells you exactly what to do and why it works. That's rarer than people think.
