 I'm shooting this video at the very end of 2023 and I expect this to be a huge trend in 2024 and beyond. So if you are a local trainer watching this video, pay close attention. And if you are a soccer academy owner where you have club teams and you run an organization, this video is for you and I think it's going to make a humongous difference in your company moving forward. So I'm going to show you four reasons why as a local club, why you should be partnering with local trainers that have private training, group training, camps, clinics, and I'm going to be super clear here. So if you write these down, I think it's going to help you a lot. So the first reason that I have local training businesses, they already have a ton of players. They have a ton of players from different clubs. They have a lot of influence over parents and their decision making. So a local trainer can bring their entire network of players to your academy and bring in future leads. Now that is really valuable because a lot of these local training businesses have a hundred, I've talked to some local trainers that have up to a thousand clients. So they bring a lot of value to your club because they can bring this army of new players into your club program that you don't have yet. And that's not counting all of the future leads that come into their training business that always ask, hey, what's the best club we should go to? So if you build a partnership between you and a local trainer, you can have things set up to where they're basically just bringing in their entire client database into your business. So that is alone is going to help you so much every year with tryouts. It's going to help you really like never have to worry about where new leads are coming in front because all these local trainers, like they're really heavy on online marketing. They're really good at getting people interested in the program. So aligning yourself with them is going to be really important. Next is local training businesses. Like I'm talking about private training, small group training, they're solving a different problem than you are if you are a club director or a club owner. You guys have practice twice a week. You have games, you have tournaments. The only reason why extra training exists is because parents want the competitive edge. They want their kids to be active doing something else outside of just the club environment. Because a lot of clubs at the end of the day, they don't have a lot of one-on-one personalization within practice. It's impossible to do that. So a training business is going to solve that problem. So adding that into your club makes your club better because now not only do players get their regular training, regular practice during the week, but now they have extra training that they can come to at your facility where it's under your environment. And I see a lot of clubs starting to do this, especially over the last year or two. But I expect this to happen way more over the next couple of years. And again, finding the right training business in your area and partnering with them is going to solve that problem. Because now you have all of the players in your club that just stay in your club because they're getting this extra training as well. The next one is pretty obvious. I've talked about this in other videos on YouTube, but you can grow your income with way higher profit margins when you add supplemental training. I have a video right below here. It's in the link in the description. I walk through how to make an extra 10K a month in your soccer academy by just adding supplemental training. And I show you step by step exactly how to do it. So go link in the description, you can watch that there. And lastly, I think this is very underrated. And a lot of club academy owners and directors of coaching do not understand this at the level that I do. And the reason why is like I've been in this business for 13 years and I've been on both sides of it. I used to do club training. Then I started my own private training business. We've consulted literally thousands of people now that have gone from like whatever job they were doing, nine to five to doing training as a business, like a local business full time. We've even seen some of those people have started their own soccer academies or basketball academies. And the thing that you have to know is the reach that these trainers have online is typically way bigger than the reach that most club academies have, right? A lot of these local training businesses, they're very good at online marketing. So the reason why that would help your academy is like if you have someone that has a big Instagram following or big Facebook following, then doing one video to promote something that you have for tryouts or for a camp or anything like that gets in front of so many people that you don't have access to yet. So partnering with that person is really good for getting way more exposure. That's what every club wants. Every club wants more exposure. Most clubs don't know how to get more exposure. So bringing in someone that's already good at that is going to help you a lot. So I hope this video helped you.
