Hi, I’m Khalil, Co-Founder of the Virtual Fútbol Academy.
And coach for my son’s soccer team.
In 2019, my son’s U9 team won their league. As we prepared for a tougher division, I aimed to ensure the kids kept developing while enjoying the game. While I was confident in motivating the kids, I realized I wanted to raise my level of coaching.
I turned to a good friend, David Brown, a former U.S. youth national team player and founder of the RC Celta Academy in Philadelphia, a franchise from La Liga. He introduced me to FESPI—Focus, Effort, Strategy, Perseverance, and Improvement—a learning approach rooted in the Growth Mindset practice developed by Stanford professor Carol Dweck.
This mindset helps the kids embrace learning while staying committed to improving.
But mindset alone wasn’t enough—we needed to sharpen our tactics.
This led to the introduction of the Spanish methodology. Along with structured session plans and build-up play, my team dove deep into offensive and defensive principles to create a balanced, fluid playing style.
Combined with the Growth Mindset, the boys moved the ball smoothly and played more confidently.
By season’s end, we won the league again.
FESPI became the core of our philosophy, showing that every coach can unlock their full potential by combining coach development with the Growth Mindset.
And that’s what the Virtual Fútbol Academy is all about.
Hi, I’m Dave, Co-Founder of the Virtual Fútbol Academy.
I've dedicated my life to soccer.
Not only by playing it but also by nurturing a deep love for the sport. As a young player, I played at the highest levels, earning a spot on the U.S. Youth National Team.
I found that being a player and a coach was very different. Even with success on the field, I only realized this after making the switch. I knew soccer tactics—I knew how to play.
But teaching young players how to think, grow, and love the game requires something else.
So, I began to learn again. I dove into Spanish fútbol methods and mixed them with Growth Mindset psychology. This approach, from Stanford, helps kids enjoy learning and improving.
We created the Virtual Fútbol Academy and developed The Art & Science of Fútbol Coaching. We want every coach to access the same excellent training and insights that top coaches use.
Our mission is simple:
✅ Help coaches become better teachers of the game
✅ Give them proven methods for motivating young players
✅ Cultivate a generation of kids who not only play excellent soccer but also fall in love with the game for life
