How S.C.O.R.E.® Applies to Soccer

The Best Soccer Players in the World Have the Best Mindsets.

The S.C.O.R.E.® System, developed by Jim Fannin, has helped MLS MVPs, World Cup performers, and elite academy players master their mental game by optimizing the five key markers of peak performance: Self-Discipline, Concentration, Optimism, Relaxation, and Enjoyment.

Self-Discipline

Build Championship Habits

In soccer, self-discipline isn’t just showing up to training—it’s having a clear Vision for your success and committing to the daily habits that make greatness inevitable. With the S.C.O.R.E.® System, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build pre-game routines that ignite confidence and game-readiness.
  • Train with purpose by setting measurable goals for practices, matches, and recovery.

Concentration

Lock In Every Minute

One mental lapse can cost a goal—or an entire match. Champions maintain laser-sharp focus from kickoff to the final whistle. The S.C.O.R.E.® System teaches you how to:
  • Stay locked in during transitions, set pieces, and high-pressure moments.
  • Block out distractions and stay fully present, no matter the situation.

Optimism

Confidence That Never Cracks

Conceding a goal. A missed penalty kick. A tough referee decision. It’s all part of the game—but elite players bounce back instantly. With the S.C.O.R.E.® System, you’ll develop:
  • Unshakeable belief in your abilities—regardless of the scoreline or opponent.
  • A resilient “NEXT PLAY!” mindset to reset quickly and lead with confidence.

Relaxation

Stay Loose, Play Free

Tight muscles, rushed decisions, and emotional tension can derail performance. The ability to stay composed under pressure is what separates great players. The S.C.O.R.E.® System will teach you how to:
  • Release tension quickly during high-stakes moments.
  • Play with rhythm, calm, and flow—whether it’s the first half or stoppage time.

Enjoyment

Love the Game, Love the Grind

When you love what you do, you perform at your best. The S.C.O.R.E.® System helps you stay passionate, focused, and in the Zone by teaching you how to:
  • Keep a positive mindset through setbacks, pressure, and adversity.
  • Enjoy the process of development while striving for championship greatness.
