LIVERPOOL FC INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY UTAH PROVO

U14 Boys
State Select — 2026/27

Our goal is to develop complete players — focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health and becoming technically masterful and tactically aware.

OUR
PHILOSOPHY

We don't have to be the fastest team to be a great team. We will be among the most skilled, the most aware, and the most connected. We coach soccer as a thinking game — like chess, not a footrace — built on daily effort, respect for teammates and coaches, and all of us working for each other.

Inspired by Pep Guardiola's positional play and Carlo Ancelotti's player-first leadership.
01
PILLAR ONE

Fitness

Physical, mental, emotional. Strength, running, and core work paired with sleep, nutrition, and the discipline to care for the body and mind every day.

02
PILLAR TWO

Technique

Mastery of the ball. Players who dictate what the ball does instead of being dictated to. Daily ball work, first touch, and finishing — the work that separates good from great.

03
PILLAR THREE

Awareness

Reading the field. Understanding space and the movement of teammates. Becoming a student of the game — the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A — on screen and in study.

What Your Player Will Have
RESOURCES · 2026/27

Liverpool FC Academy Curriculum

Access to international academy sessions and videos — the same developmental framework used inside Liverpool's international youth academies — applied to every practice we coach.

Hudl Assist+ · Every Game Video Analyzed

Every match recorded and AI-analyzed. Each player receives personalized clips, individualized stats, and activity maps. The platform every NWSL, MLS, and Premier League club uses — and the recruiting hub Division I coaches use extensively.

LockedIn App · Practice, Measured

Our purpose-built coaching app tracks effort, growth, and attitude session by session — then cross-references that data with Hudl game results so we know what's translating from the training pitch to match day.

Licensed, Studying, Engaged Coaches

USSF C License with the B License underway in 2027. Constant study of the modern game — from Guardiola to Ancelotti — and a coaching staff that talks daily about how to keep getting better.
