The All Access Pass to Brazilian Player Development

Fabricio Monte and Luciano Santos, elite coaches with over 25 years' combined experience working in Santos FC's youth academy, proudly present to you The Brazilian Way, a groundbreaking 42-page whitepaper and accompanying video series that reveals the way Brazilian players are actually developed — and how players and parents in the English-speaking world can replicate these principles.

Whitepaper Topics

  • Why chasing millions of touches should only be a "sidequest" at best - and what elite Brazilian youth players focus on instead
  • Why the phenomenon of player "burn out" does not exist in Brazil, and how to ensure it doesn't affect your child
  • A full analysis of sideline and car ride phrases that, despite good intentions, can stop player development in its tracks
  • Why players in countries without soccer heritage often lack game intelligence - and how to fix this
  • Why young Brazilian players don't use private technical trainers (it's not because they're too good, nor because of money)
  • The 5 character traits Brazilian clubs value the most when scouting players (some will surprise you)
  • An elite Brazilian player's training diary, recounting what they learned tactically in a week of training
  • The 3 biggest myths about futsal in the English-speaking world
