Our Story
How It All Started
My journey into the world of soccer started across the Atlantic, in the rich cultural world of European soccer, where I was lucky to grow up, where soccer is more than just a game. Growing up in a family with a legacy of professional soccer, I was surrounded by the world of soccer on the most competitive European level. This background gave me a unique perspective when I came to the United States for my studies, getting to know the American soccer scene firsthand.
The difference was clear, showing the varied approaches and philosophies that shaped each culture's connection with soccer. However, it was when I went back to Europe, and later, as the world was dealing with the big challenges of a global pandemic, that a key realization hit me. With facilities closed and traditional training halted, the need for a solution to allow players to continue their soccer journey became clear.
In response, we created a simple yet effective platform designed to help youth soccer players continue their growth on their own, overcoming the limitations imposed by the pandemic. This first idea, although it would go through several changes, set the groundwork for our vision: to make world-class training methods available to all, removing the obstacles of expensive equipment and exclusive facilities.
At the center of our mission is a deep respect for the team spirit of soccer, along with recognizing the important role coaches have in developing talent. We are committed to the idea that by giving coaches the resources they need, we can improve their ability to offer personalized guidance, meeting the specific needs of players of all ages.
Our path from idea to reality has been driven by a desire to close gaps, promote inclusivity, and improve the youth soccer experience. By educating coaches, players, and parents, we aim to make sure every player has the chance to reach their highest potential. This is the core of FlickTec: a dedication to supporting the next generation of soccer talent through innovation, accessibility, and the strength of the community.
