- Jessica F., Parent
The quality of the platform and the conversations in the interviews are straight to the point and extremely helpful as we navigate recruitment.
THERE ARE NO RESOURCES LIKE THIS
- Patrick L., Player
It's our thing now that after dinner, we sit on the couch and watch a couple videos together and talk about what the next steps are. Its very educational.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING THESE WITH MY DAD
- Lauren O., Parent
I NOTICE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
Just in the way he is carrying himself in training and even at home. It's like he's taking more responsibility for his future now that he has a plan.
Club coaches are responsible for the team. Trainers focus on technical development. Recruiting services usually show up years later. Parents are left trying to connect the dots.
The Locker Room connects the pieces, everything in one place, giving players and families one place to find guidance, ask questions, and move forward with confidence.
WE BUILT THIS SO YOUR PLAYER DOESN'T WASTE THE YEARS THAT MATTER.
WHERE DIRECTION MEETS DEVELOPMENT

SHOW UP DIFFERENT
Start with the lessons that matter most right now. Whether your player is building confidence, preparing for recruiting, or learning how to train with more purpose, every resource is organized to help you move forward with clarity.

Live mentorship + COMMUNITY

"Having direct access to what college coaches actually want, not someone guessing, already put us ahead of every other recruiting service we've tried."
Overheard
YOUTH SOCCER → COLLEGE → MLS → EUROPE → U.S. NATIONAL TEAM
From youth soccer to the world's biggest stages, Chris has lived every step of the path families are trying to navigate.
The lessons inside the Locker Room come from experience, not theory.
Chris Mueller wasn't a top recruit. He started on the B-team. He was benched. He went to the University of Wisconsin, and became a two-time All-American.
He was a first-round MLS SuperDraft pick. He played professionally for a decade, Orlando City, Chicago Fire, Hibernian FC in Scotland, and earned opportunities with the US Men's National Team.
He built BTB because no one gave him a roadmap. He figured it out the hard way. Your player doesn't have to.
He's been where your player wants to go.

I built this because I wish someone had built it for me.

FAQ
My player is already in a club program, won't coaches handle the recruiting piece?
Here is a question that will go here
Club coaches are doing their best, but they're managing 20+ players at once, and recruiting is on you. The college coaches Chris interviews in the Locker Room say the same thing: by the time a club coach mentions your player, decisions have already been made. The players who get seen are the ones who made first contact themselves, the right way, at the right time, with the right message. That's what we teach.
How is this different from YouTube, recruiting services, or other programs we've tried?
Here is a question that will go here
YouTube gives you content with no path. Recruiting services give you exposure with no education. What's missing is the source, someone who went through the recruiting process, signed a professional contract, and then sat down with the coaches who make the decisions. The Recruiter's Desk alone gives you access to unfiltered intel from college coaches that no service or algorithm can replicate. That's not a feature. It's the whole point.
Will my player actually use this, or will it collect dust?
Here is a question that will go here
Everything in the Locker Room is built for how a serious player actually operates, short focused lessons, downloadable playbooks, and a live monthly call where Chris takes questions about your player's specific situation. No hour-long lectures. No homework for the sake of homework. The community keeps players accountable because they're surrounded by other players who are doing the work. That's harder to quit.
Can I cancel? What am I actually committing to?
Here is a question that will go here
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime, no penalty. You get instant access to the library the day you join, coach interviews, playbooks, courses, everything. If it's not the right fit, you're not stuck. But most families who join stay because what they're getting is worth more than the $49.
My player is young, is this actually built for them?
Here is a question that will go here
The Locker Room is built for players at every stage of the development journey, but the content is organized so your player finds exactly what's relevant to where they are right now. Younger players (9–13) are building the habits and mindset that compound. Older players (14–18) are using the recruiting and mental performance content most actively. Chris built it this way because what a 10-year-old needs and what a 16-year-old needs are different, and the Locker Room speaks to both.
$49 a month. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Chris is in every piece of it, every mini-course, every interview, every playbook. Your player just has to show up.
