THE INITIATE
Where ambition becomes a programme.
Initié means the initiated — and that is exactly what this stage is. It is the front door to the performance offer, for the 18+ academy scholarship player and the US student-athlete stepping up from the development pathway. For the first time, the player is treated not as a prospect in a group, but as an individual with a career to build.
The full performance architecture comes into play: physical architecture and data tracking, dedicated performance coaching, and tactical and video analysis, wrapped in the mentoring that has run through every stage before it. Initié is where ambition stops being a word and starts being a programme.
WHO IT’S FOR
18+ academy scholarship players (UK) and student-athletes (US) entering the performance arc.

THE SEASON
A season with a plan, not a series of sessions
The year runs as four three-month blocks, each building on the last — so development follows a clear arc rather than drifting week to week.

Within every block, the player is developed across the whole picture — technical, physical, psychological, social and nutritional. We work deliberately on the areas that need improving while reinforcing the strengths that make the player who they are.
EACH MONTH · FOUR SESSIONS
Video analysis — teaching the game, not just the drill
WITH MATCH FOOTAGE · VEO OR HUDL
1 analysis session + 3 on-pitch sessions
Video analysis is offered to players who can provide footage of their matches throughout the season. The month opens with an analysis hour: we review recent matches — slowing the game down, finding the one pattern costing the player most, and teaching them to read and solve it independently. That single priority then shapes the next three weeks on the pitch.
WITHOUT MATCH FOOTAGE
4 on-pitch sessions
Players who can’t provide match footage have four on-pitch sessions each month — the same season plan, the same five areas and the same quarterly reviews.

IN THEIR WORDS
“
After a prolific season, I needed some guidance for the next step in my career. Sam referred me to The French Touché, and since then my football journey has gone from progression to success. From Chesterfield I moved to Watford, where I spent a year and a half, before moving to Spain, my home country. The coaching, the mentoring and the ongoing support throughout the season are second to none. I highly recommend TFT.
