The Football Career Planner for Teen Athletes

Your teenager has a football dream. This workbook turns that dream into a 5-year plan.

The Football Career Planner for Teen Athletes is an 11-page interactive PDF workbook designed for young players aged 13–18 and their parents. It is a companion to the book "Road Map to a Successful Soccer Career" by Coach Bayonle Arashi, 2x FIFA World Cup director and founder of Midas Football Academy.

WHAT IS INSIDE:

Module 1 — Who I Am as an Athlete

Define your football identity, your dream, and the three words you want to be known for as a player.

Module 2 — My Skills Self-Assessment

Rate yourself honestly across 17 specific skills — technical, mental, and life skills on a 1–10 scale. Know exactly where you are before you plan where you are going.

Module 3 — Which Path Is Mine?

Discover which of the three paths fits you right now —Professional, College, or Vocational — with checkboxes and honest self-diagnosis tools.

Module 4 — My 5-Year Career Plan

Set one clear football goal, one academic goal, and one life skill goal for each of the next five years. This is the most important page in the workbook.

Module 5 — Recruiting Readiness Checklist

20 checkboxes across four categories. Know exactly where you stand with scouts and college coaches right now.

Module 6 — Weekly Habit Tracker

Eight habits, seven days. Print it. Use it every week. 

Champions are built in the daily habits nobody sees.

Module 7 — Mentor and Coach Conversation Notes

Record what you learn from coaches and mentors so the lessons stick and turn into action.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

→ Teen footballers aged 13–18 who are serious about their future

→ Parents who want to support their child with a real plan

→ Coaches and mentors who work with young athletes

This is not a motivational poster. This is a working document. 

Write in it. Return to it. Let it guide the next five years.
