Jonas Simon

"I can recommend the High Performance Player Academy to every player, because you are working on topics that you wouldn't otherwise get into. And above all, it's fun to work with other young soccer players and learn from each other. With Julius, we have a coach who was once in our situation himself and knows what he's talking about."

Leo Dietz

"The Academy provides a platform for every player, regardless of the grade, to connect with other like-minded soccer players and develop mentally. Every call gives you new food for thought and new motivation. I can only recommend anyone who wants to improve their mental strength in the field of soccer, but also in life in general, to be part of it!"

Julius Reis

Northern Michigan University

"Since I started working with Julius, my thinking has completely changed. I'd never really worked on the mental side of the game before and I didn't think it would help me so much. Above all, I now know why I play soccer and I believe in myself much more again. I'm very grateful to Julius."

Conor Gnerlich

1. FC Phönix Lübeck

"The High Performance Player Academy is a great opportunity. I haven't seen a training platform like this before - neither in Germany nor in the United States. It's for all ambitious soccer players who want to do and achieve more than others. Here we train our mindset and our mental strength with a group of other talented players who think alike and a mentor who knows what he is talking about. It will help you get to the next level, too."

Deniz Dogan

"Since I started working with Julius, my mindset has completely changed. I get into the flow state more often, feel better on the pitch and have much more confidence in myself. By working together, I have developed much more self-confidence and trust in myself. For that, I am immensely grateful to Julius."

Success in Soccer rests on 3 Pillars

3 Pillars for Success
The technical and tactical abilities and other soccer-related skills.
The physical capabilities like speed, strength and athleticism.
The mentale strength and other cognitive skills and mindsets. 
The weakest pillar is the limit. 

The reason why most players don't reach their goals is NOT because of the first two pillars, but because of the third pillar. 

You can be the best soccer player with the best technical skills and the strongest physical abilities, but if you can't perform when the pressure is on and it really matters, you won't become as successful as you could have been.

Therefore...

I've been through it all...

Hey, it's Julius. My dream growing up was to become a professional soccer player. I played in a youth academy team in Germany from age 12 - 17 where I competed in the highest youth leagues in the country.

Later I became a starter for TuS Koblenz in the Regionalliga. It all went quickly and as a young player I made a lot of games in this semi-professional league. However, I was a player who was prone to overthink during the games and it was sometimes hard for me to show what I had inside of me. I put too much pressure on myself.

After my second season I took the leap to go to the US with a soccer scholarship joining the NC State Men's Soccer Team. It changed my life. I became the captain of the team, had a successful college career and ended up with a MLS Combine invitation. After graduating with a degree in Business Administration and Psychology (GPA: 4.0) I went back to Germany and followed my new dream...

I reflected on my career and realised why I sometimes was my one worst enemy on the pitch. I learned everything about High Performance, became a certified Sportsmentalcoach and decided to pass on what I would have needed in my career. 

My Why is contribution. I am the support that I would have needed when I was younger to help players master the mental side of the game. 

My mission is to make mental training, coaching and personal development a vital part of modern Soccer Education. There is so much more to soccer than just the technical and the physical part. 

I am working with players up into the Bundesliga helping them win their inner game so that can achieve the career they dream of. 

I help people like you to become the best player and person you can be - on and off the field. And I would be happy to get to know and support you as well!
