THE 10-WEEK MENTAL TRAINING SYSTEM ELITE ATHLETES USE
Your athlete has physical training and technical training.
But mental training? Zero.
Elite programs train mental performance systematically. Ten weeks. Position-specific protocols. Game-situation training.
Your program doesn't.
That's the gap. This closes it.
Our next cohort begins February 16.
10 weeks. Weekly content release. Community accountability.
Spots are limited - secure your athlete's position now.
YOU'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN
Practice: Confident, aggressive, locked in
Games: Overthinking, tentative, spiraling after mistakes
Training: Working hard, showing potential
Competition: Disappearing when it matters, playing small under pressure
Same athlete. Same talent. Different mental preparation.
Here's why:
Your program says "stay focused" and "shake it off" and hopes that's enough.
It's not.
Mental performance doesn't develop naturally. It's trained. Elite programs train it. Yours doesn't.
That's not your athlete's fault. That's a system gap.
Top Flight: Protocol
10-Week Cohort | Advanced Mental Training System
Top Flight: Protocol is what elite programs build on top of foundational mental habits.
Not generic mental toughness. Position-specific, game-situation soccer mental training.
How it works:
Every 3 months, a new cohort starts. Athletes progress through 10 weeks together.
Content releases weekly (You can't work ahead. Each week builds on the last).
The community keeps you accountable. Weekly assignments ensure progressive mastery.
Over 10 weeks, you train:
Weeks 1-2: Mental preparation systems (pre-game activation, in-game protocols, post-game review)
Weeks 3-4: Pressure regulation training (situation-specific management, breath control, focus under fatigue)
Weeks 5-6: Performance optimization (game-situation responses, leadership frameworks, adversity systems)
Weeks 7-8: Position-specific mastery (GK, Defender, Midfielder, Forward protocols trained separately—because mental demands differ by position)
Weeks 9-10: Integration and long-term systems (complete personal mental training system, maintenance protocols)
After 10 weeks: Lifetime access to all content (revisit anytime, all future updates included)
This isn't content you binge. It's training you practice week by week until it's automatic.
WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRAINING
This isn't a course. It's a 10-week structured training program. Athletes progress together. Weekly content releases. Daily practice assignments.
WEEK 1-2: MENTAL PREPARATION SYSTEMS
Week 1 focus: Pre-game activation protocols
Week 2 focus: In-game and post-game systems
Train the exact 15-minute pre-game activation protocol elite players use.
Not "get mentally ready" and hope. An actual sequence: physical activation → mental rehearsal → focus anchoring → breath regulation.
Position-specific: GK pre-game focus is different than Forward finishing confidence activation.
Weekly practice: Execute your pre-game protocol before every training session and game that week.
Outcome by Week 2: Show up to games mentally ready from kickoff. Not "getting into it" 20 minutes in.
WEEK 3-4: PRESSURE REGULATION TRAINING
Week 3 focus: Breath control and nervous system regulation
Week 4 focus: Situation-specific pressure protocols
Train situation-specific pressure management protocols.
Penalty kicks require different mental sequences for takers vs GKs. Showcase games require different anxiety management than playoff games.
Drills include: Heart rate management (drop 30 BPM in 30 seconds), pressure simulation training, nervous system regulation.
Weekly practice: Daily breath protocols (10 minutes), pressure simulation drills at home.
Outcome by Week 4: Regulate pressure. Don't get regulated by it.
WEEK 5-6: PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Week 5 focus: Game-situation mental responses
Week 6 focus: Leadership and adversity frameworks
Train mental protocols for every game situation.
Dominating games: Avoid complacency, maintain intensity
Getting dominated: Compete through adversity, stay engaged
Tied late: Execute under maximum pressure
After substitution: Handle coaching decisions mentally
Weekly practice: Situation rehearsal drills, apply protocols in weekend games.
Outcome by Week 6: Trained responses for every situation. Not hope.
WEEK 7-8: POSITION-SPECIFIC MASTERY
Week 7 focus: Your primary position protocols
Week 8 focus: Secondary position and flexibility training
This is where Protocol goes deeper than any program.
Most mental training is generic. Protocol trains the specific mental demands of each position.
GOALKEEPER (Week 7):
✔️ Staying engaged during defensive dominance ✔️ Mental recovery after conceding ✔️ Distribution decision-making under pressure ✔️ Command and communication protocols
DEFENDER (Week 7):
✔️ Recovery after being beat ✔️ Positional awareness maintenance ✔️ Physical vs technical defending mindset ✔️ Organization and leadership
MIDFIELDER (Week 7):
✔️ Transition focus (defense → attack instantly) ✔️ Decision-making under pressure ✔️ 360-degree awareness training ✔️ Box-to-box mental endurance
FORWARD (Week 7):
✔️ Finishing confidence after missed chances ✔️ Movement without the ball (mental patience) ✔️ 1v1 attacking mentality ✔️ Celebration and reset protocols
Weekly practice: Position-specific drills (10 min daily), apply in training and games.
Outcome by Week 8: Mental protocols that fit your specific role.
WEEK 9-10: INTEGRATION & LONG-TERM SYSTEMS
Week 9 focus: Complete system integration
Week 10 focus: Maintenance and self-coaching
Train your complete personal mental training system.
By Week 10, you have:
✔️ Pre-game activation (specific to your position) ✔️ In-game protocols (situation-specific responses) ✔️ Post-game review (learn without spiraling) ✔️ Off-season maintenance (sustain skills long-term)
Weekly practice: Execute complete system in real games, refine based on results.
Outcome by Week 10: Complete mental training system you use for the rest of your career.
Plus lifetime access: After cohort completion, revisit any week anytime. All future updates included.
THE DIFFERENCE 10 WEEKS MAKES
WITHOUT TOP FLIGHT: PROTOCOL (Current State):
Minute 15: Make a mistake, spiral for 3 minutes
Minute 60: Focus drifts, mental mistakes late in games
Showcase pressure: Takes 15-20 minutes to settle in, misses early opportunities
After being beat: Dwells on it, positioning suffers next play
Mental training: Generic "stay focused" advice, no systematic training
Scout observation: "Talented but inconsistent, slow to recover, needs time to get into games."
WITH TOP FLIGHT: PROTOCOL (After 10 Weeks):
Minute 15: Make a mistake, reset in 3 seconds automatically
Minute 60: Maintain focus through 90 minutes using trained protocols
Showcase pressure: Execute 15-minute pre-game protocol, ready from kickoff
After being beat: Use position-specific recovery protocol, refocus instantly
Mental training: 10 weeks of systematic training, position-specific, automatic execution
Scout observation: "Mentally trained, resilient, professional approach, position-aware."
Same talent. Different mental preparation. Different outcomes.
"I can't believe the transformation in my son. He used to get so nervous before games, but now he's focused and ready to take on any challenge. His confidence on and off the field has skyrocketed. Thank you, Coach Iggy!"
Sarah M.
mother of 14-year-old Xavier
HOW THE COHORT WORKS
10-week cohort - everyone progresses together:
Start date: New cohorts begin every 3 months (February, May, August, November)
Weekly structure:
☑️ Monday: New content releases (video training, 20-30 min) + Daily practice protocols (10 min/day)
☑️ Throughout week: Apply in training and games
☑️ Sunday: Week review, prepare for next week
Community accountability:
☑️ Progress alongside other athletes. ☑️ Weekly assignments keep everyone on track. ☑️ Shared experiences build momentum. ☑️ Complete together, stay committed
Can't work ahead: Content drips weekly by design.
Each week requires 7 days of practice before moving forward. This ensures proper skill development and prevents rushing through material.
After 10 weeks: Lifetime access to all content. Revisit anytime. Future updates included. This isn't self-paced. It's structured for accountability and results.
WHO BUILT THIS
Coach Iggy | Director of Performance, Top Flight Mentality
20+ years coaching soccer. Masters degree in Exercise Physiology.
I built Top Flight: Protocol because I was the athlete who dominated practice and disappeared in games.
Not because I lacked talent. Because nobody taught me the mental protocols elite programs train.
I spent 20+ years building what the system should have provided:
Position-specific mental training. Game-situation protocols. 10-week progressive systems.
Top Flight: Protocol cohorts have helped athletes:
- Get recruited at NCAA D1, D2, D3, and NAIA levels
- Go from spiraling after mistakes to 3-second resets
- Show up mentally ready from kickoff instead of "getting into it" 20 minutes in
- Execute under pressure in playoff games and showcases
This isn't motivational content. This is systematic training.
The same system elite programs use but rec soccer ignores.
“Unlocked my son’s focus in just 2 weeks.”
– Keith, Parent of HS Player
"Coach Iggy’s program has truly unlocked my daughter’s potential.
The mental strength skills she’s gained have made such a difference in her performance and attitude. She’s now a fearless competitor, and I couldn’t be prouder. This is amazing!"
- Mike D, father to 15-year-old Malaya
⚠️ THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE ⚠️
Top Flight: Protocol is not:
❌ Motivational speeches ❌ Generic "believe in yourself" content ❌ Self-paced material you can binge ❌ Quick fixes or magic bullets
Protocol is:
✔️ 10-week structured cohort ✔️ Weekly content releases (can't work ahead) ✔️ Daily 10-minute practice protocols ✔️ Position-specific mental skills ✔️ Community accountability ✔️ Measurable progress tracking
This requires commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Top Flight: Protocol is a 10-week cohort program that trains position-specific mental protocols and game-situation skills. It's what elite programs build on top of foundational mental habits. New cohorts start every 3 months.
Cohorts begin quarterly:
- February cohort: Mid-February
- May cohort: Mid-May
- August cohort: Mid-August
- November cohort: Mid-November
Content releases weekly over 10 weeks. You progress through the program alongside other athletes, creating accountability and community support.
Top Flight: Protocol uses weekly content drip by design. Each week builds on the last, and athletes need 7 days to practice each skill before moving forward. Working ahead prevents proper skill development. The structure keeps everyone accountable and progressing together.
You have lifetime access after the cohort, so you can always revisit content. But to get maximum benefit, stay current with the weekly releases. The community progresses together. Falling behind means losing accountability.
After completing the 10-week cohort, you get lifetime access to all content. You can revisit any week, review protocols, and use the system for the rest of your career. All future updates are included.
UPDATE: We are working on a membership only community with Group Coaching calls, new training content, availability of our coaches, and continued community support/accountability.
Yes. Cohorts have capacity limits to maintain community quality and ensure proper support. When a cohort fills, you'll need to wait for the next quarterly start date (3 months).
Athletes ages 13-19 (primarily soccer players) who compete at levels where mental training creates advantages. Also works for adult athletes. Athletes should understand foundational mental habits (from Top Flight 7 or equivalent).
10 weeks. Content releases weekly (Mondays). Daily practice protocols take 10 minutes. Weekly video lessons are 20-30 minutes. Total time investment: ~3-4 hours over 10 weeks plus daily 10-minute practice.
