Understand your decisions
Go beyond whether a play succeeded or failed. Discuss what you noticed and which other choices were available.
Junior and senior high players
Turn “What could I have done?” into your next action.
Pass or carry? Where should you move without the ball? If you are playing at junior or senior high school age, you can talk through those questions with a coach online.
The first online lesson, including consultation, is 30 minutes, JPY 5,500 including tax, or 5 credits, once per player. Account registration is free and does not itself incur a charge.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Make space for your specific questions.
Support varies by coach and specialism. Check the profile and contact us if you are unsure whether a topic is suitable.
Make sense of your position
Connect the role your team asks you to play with the moments that confuse you. Tell the coach about your team’s instructions.
Give individual practice a purpose
Discuss what to focus on next time and how to reflect on it, rather than simply repeating an exercise.
FROM TALK TO PRACTICE
Build the habit of thinking about your own football.
Talk through your play and use the report to revisit what to try. The service does not promise selection, a starting position or a successful trial.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Before you take the next step.
Can I register and book on my own?
If you are 18 or older, you can register and apply using your own account. If you are under 18, show this page to a parent or guardian. They apply through their account and add you as the player. Guardian consent and attendance are required.
What if my team coach gives different instructions?
Explain those instructions and your role during the consultation. The discussion takes that context into account; it does not replace your team’s coaching decisions.
Can I ask for help if I am not getting much match time?
Yes. You can discuss training questions without match footage. Choose a coach whose supported ages and specialisms fit your needs.
Do I need a video for my first consultation?
No. Reference video is optional for online lessons. Describe what is happening in training or matches and discuss your questions during the lesson.
What is free, and what is paid?
The first online lesson, including consultation, is 30 minutes, JPY 5,500 including tax, or 5 credits, once per player. Account registration is free and does not itself incur a charge.
Does the lesson include a report?
Yes. Every lesson includes a report summarising the discussion and what to work on next, prepared and checked by the coach before delivery. You can revisit it before and after training. Improvement speed and match results are not guaranteed.
