About

DECODED FC

Features
Read full description

DECODED FC is a career guide, trainer and nutritionist for soccer players who are serious about where this goes. Most players train hard and still can't tell you what's actually holding them back. Speed has a number. Jump has a number. Decision-making, first touch under pressure, the thing that decides whether you play on Saturday — none of that gets measured. So you guess, and then you train the guess. This app is built to stop that. WHAT'S INSIDE • A player card built from your position, level and situation — not a generic template • Training sessions aimed at the specific gap in your game, not whatever drill was popular this week • A career plan: what the next step realistically looks like from where you are, and what has to be true to get there • Nutrition guidance that fits an actual training week, not a bodybuilding split BUILT FOR PLAYERS 13-22 Youth club, high school, academy, college. Whether you're chasing a college roster spot, trying to break into a first team, or just tired of training without knowing whether it's working. HONEST BY DEFAULT Other rating apps tell you you're an 82. They don't know that. Where our card shows an estimate, it says "Estimated — not yet tested" right on the card. When something can be measured honestly, the number unlocks. Not before. A number you didn't earn isn't a rating. It's a compliment. WHY IT EXISTS Built by a Division I college player who spent years confusing what he was worth with how he played, and who got tired of watching good players lose whole seasons fixing something that was never the problem. You cannot out-train confusion. This is the plan. An account is required. Everything in the app is built around your position, level and situation, so there is nothing to show before you tell it who you are.
