About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure that players enjoy the process of achieving the highest levels of elite performance. We aim to teach players that they must master all aspects of ‘soccer life’ if they wish to have success. This includes mastering the on-field aspects such as skills, athleticism, mental fortitude, and game knowledge.

However, it also includes the off-field aspects of the soccer life, such as ensuring they are taking care of their body, mental health, setting goals, self-analysing, seeking further education, etc. This holistic approach is the basic philosophy of BTX Soccer Club.

Philosophy

BTX Soccer Club utilises the creation of what is known as ‘mastery motivational climate’ – a learning environment that emphasises skill development, personal and team success, maximum effort and fun.

Research has shown that athletes who achieve mastery achievement goals in a motivational climate enjoy greater long-term success and well-being than ‘ego-oriented athletes’, who tend to see their own worth only in the number of matches won and lost. For example, athletes who develop mastery orientation feel more competent, enjoy training and competition more and have higher levels of self-motivation and effort.

On the other hand, while athletes who rely on results-based success may also experience high levels of success in competition, they have also been found to suffer from adverse psychological effects such as inconsistent effort, performance anxiety, inability to overcome failure, decreased levels of persistence or ‘grit’, decreased motivation for involvement in sport, and a willingness to cheat or use illegal methods to win.

The BTX Soccer Club environment refers to performance structures that revolve around supporting effort, cooperation, and emphasis on individual/team development. We create athletes who regard effort as the principal cause of improvement.

This means our athletes strive to win, but that winning is not the most valued element. It is the effort to win, coupled with a growth mindset, that is valued at BTX Soccer Club.

Coaching Styles & Methodologies

BTX Soccer Club focuses on providing age-appropriate sessions for young athletes. We use the Long-Term Athlete Development Plan (LTADP) and the Four Corner Model to design age-appropriate programs and training sessions.

Each coach has an awareness of coach led and player centered coaching styles, and as players progress through the program they become more independent and able to utilise their own decisions in training and matches. This is the development of ‘game intelligence’, which is ‘the quality which allows a player to recognise and adapt to situations quickly in the high-pressure situation of the match.

Our principles of ‘letting the game be the teacher’ allow the player to learn core skills and decision making in small-sided games (SSG’s) during our sessions. Players are guided towards self-empowerment and take their first steps towards performance levels.

All BTX Soccer Club programs focus on the development of the athlete as the core goal.
