At JMS Academy, we don’t just talk about development — we measure it.

That might sound like a bold statement, but for families serious about helping their athletes reach the next level, it’s exactly what sets this program apart. Most soccer programs operate on feel and effort. We respect that. But when it comes to real progress — the kind that shapes college careers, unlocks scholarships, or simply boosts a young athlete’s confidence — we believe in numbers, too.

Let’s talk about why.

More Than Practice — A Purpose-Driven System

JMS Academy was created for players who are ready to train like professionals. That means two sessions a day, five days a week — with room for schoolwork through homeschool flexibility. It’s not for everyone, and that’s by design.

But what really sets us apart isn’t just the frequency of training. It’s the intentionality behind every session — and the ability to track exactly how an athlete is progressing, month over month.

We don’t guess. We know.

Why Numbers Matter in Player Development

We use a performance tracking system that captures more than 20 different metrics across strength, speed, agility, technique, and balance.

To name a few:

• 20-yard sprint times — How quick off the line is your athlete?

• 40-yard dribbling speed — Are they improving ball control under pressure?

• Agility drills like the 5-10-5 — Measured on both left and right legs.

• Vertical jump height — Including left/right limb comparisons to reduce injury risk.

• Trap Bar Power Output — Tracking explosiveness and lower-body strength.

Each athlete receives a dashboard with real numbers and visual comparisons. They (and their parents) can actually see the change — not just hear about it.

This isn’t for show. It’s for sharpening.

From Measurement to Meaning

We recently reviewed a quarterly report for one of our female athletes, Jade. Her 90-day performance data showed:

• A 17% increase in vertical jump height

• A 15% increase in Trap Bar Deadlift power

• Measurable improvements in sprint and agility times

• An 11% reduction in asymmetry between her left and right legs — helping reduce injury risk

We didn’t need to guess if her training was working. We had the data to prove it.

And perhaps more importantly, so did she.

That’s a big deal for a teenager navigating big goals. Confidence matters. Knowing you’re getting better — not just feeling like you are — can be the difference between pushing forward or burning out.

How This Impacts the Path Ahead

We often tell families: what gets measured gets improved.

Whether your child’s goal is to earn a college scholarship, make a regional team, or simply gain an edge on the field — JMS gives them the framework to track their own progress like a pro.

This also gives parents peace of mind.

Instead of wondering what’s happening during training, you’ll get real reports and personalized breakdowns. You’ll know where your athlete is excelling, where we’re focusing next, and how the work being done each week is paying off in measurable ways.

No fluff. Just facts, communicated clearly.

Personalized Profiles That Empower

Every player at JMS receives a performance dashboard and technical profile — updated regularly.

You’ll see how their dribbling speed compares to last month. You’ll see where their first touch improved. You’ll know when they’ve reached peak power on a jump test. And you’ll have insight into why we’re doing what we’re doing — because we believe parents deserve a seat at the table, too.

This Is What Modern Development Looks Like

The world of youth soccer is changing. Top clubs around the globe — in Brazil, Portugal, and across Europe — are building entire academies around structure, discipline, and data.

We’ve visited those academies. We’ve studied their systems.

At JMS Academy, we’ve taken those insights and built a program here in the U.S. that matches that level of sophistication — while staying deeply connected to the heart of player development.

We still care about character. We still believe in building leaders. But now we’ve got the metrics to go with it.

Final Word: If Your Child Is Ready, So Are We

JMS isn’t a quick fix or an overnight sensation. It’s a commitment — to structure, to accountability, and to measurable growth.

But if your child is serious about soccer, and you’re looking for a training environment that treats their future with the level of detail it deserves, we’d love to invite you to an open session.

Let’s get to work.
Let’s build something measurable.
