LFC International Academy is the global youth coaching arm of LFC. They provide youth soccer players in Southern California the same coaching curriculum and techniques that are used with the Club\u2019s own young players at the Academy in Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through partnering with Trace, LFCIA will be equipped with the most advanced technology for game film analysis to give players and coaches the tools to improve more rapidly. Here are a few of the new tools included in the Trace system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>GPS sensor data allows each player to receive individual player metrics<\/strong> for each game. Coaches and players can view core metrics like Top Speed, Distance Ran, Minutes Played, Stamina, and Max Efforts.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Trace\u2019s real-time, national <\/strong>Leaderboards<\/strong><\/a> are a great way for players to receive extra recruiting exposure, as college recruiters are utilizing them to find undiscovered talent.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Trace iD<\/a>, Trace\u2019s own recruiting platform<\/strong>, allows players to create the ultimate highlight reel and take control of their own recruiting process. Players simply select their best match moments, add them to their Trace iD, and seamlessly share the playlist link with college coaches across the country. It\u2019s how one ECNL player managed to secure a spot on a D1 College Soccer team<\/a> amidst the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Many clubs and coaches say that they are dedicated to player development and continuing education, but few are willing to truly make the commitment and investment to back that up in the way LFCIA has and continues to do.”<\/strong><\/p>– David Lokshin, CEO of Trace Soccer<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany clubs and coaches say that they are dedicated to player development and continuing education, but few are willing to truly make the commitment and investment to back that up in the way LFCIA has and continues to do,\u201d says David Lokshin, Founder of Trace. \u201cLiverpool FC International Academy knows that to truly develop a player today video analysis has to be a part of the curriculum.
