Ascenso - Talent iD Series

Ascenso proudly embraces the renowned Spanish soccer methodology, known for its emphasis on technical proficiency, intelligent play, and possession-based style. Our international coaches from professional Spanish youth academies impart these principles to help players develop a deep understanding of the game, hone skills, and unlock their true potential.

Why Spanish Methodology?

Spanish soccer methodology excels due to its focus on technical proficiency, tactical intelligence, possession-based play, and a robust youth development culture. These factors contribute to Spain's reputation as a soccer powerhouse and make Spanish methodology a highly effective approach for developing top-tier soccer players.

What do Spanish coaches offer that isn't traditionally found soccer in the states?

The culture of youth development in Spain is exceptional. Spanish academies and coaches are dedicated to nurturing young talent, providing them with high-quality training, and instilling a deep passion for the sport. This commitment to player development from an early age has produced a steady stream of skilled and confident players who can compete at the highest levels of the game.

How will Ascenso help improve the overall skill and ability of a player?

Our approach places a strong emphasis on technical skill development. Spanish players are known for their exceptional ball control, dribbling ability, and passing accuracy. This focus on technical proficiency allows players to excel in various positions on the field and adapt to different playing styles.

How does Ascenso help improve the overall knowledge and understanding of a player?

Our programs prioritize building tactical intelligence. Players are not only taught how to execute individual skills but also how to read the game, make quick decisions under pressure, and work effectively as a team. This tactical awareness is a key factor behind Spain's success in international competitions and it is something that becomes immediately noticeable in the game of our players.

Does an Ascenso player need to already be a top-level player?

Ascenso programs aim to provide opportunities for skill development and growth to all players. Our programs offer coaching and training that can benefit players at different stages of their soccer journey, from beginners looking to improve their fundamentals to more advanced players aspiring to reach higher levels of play.

How does the talent identification process work?

Ascenso's talent identification process for selecting players is a holistic and inclusive approach that assesses potential, provides individualized evaluation, and employs a model of player development encompassing technical skills, tactical understanding, physical conditioning, and mental resilience. Through our collaboration with DM Management and coaches from renowned Spanish youth academies, we are able to provide opportunities for dedicated players to realize their dreams and connect with top youth academies in Spain.

What does a player need at an Acenso event?

Players should come prepared as they would to any team training (boots, shin guards, water, etc.), but most importantly they should have a positive attitude and be prepared to put in their maximum effort.
