FC Wisconsin Eclipse is structured differently than any other youth club in Wisconsin - in staff structure, training methods, and more.  The quality and amount of individual attention provided to players is unmatched.  One exampe of this is the club's use of video technology and other individual statistics to provide players with an incredible learning and developmental advantage. 

The examples below provide a glimpse at the information that is provided to FC Wisconsin Eclipse players in games and trainings to help their development.

Teaching Heading and Defending in the Box

FC Wisconsin Eclipse coaches film set pieces in games to provide the ability to show athletes what went right or wrong in how they defended, how they moved their body, how they attacked the ball, and many more technical details.  The video below is an example of a clip used to show what the end product should look like - great starting positioning, great use of the body, and great technical execution.

At the ECNL National Showcase - Dallas, FC Wisconsin Eclipse coaches charted the passing choices of the back four defenders.  This information was then broken down and analyzed, with comparisons to passing choices and statistics of defender at the highest levels in the world, to provide insight for each player on how to maintain better possession overall, and how to be more dangerous in key moments.  An example of a passing chart from part of one game is below:

There is no substitute for high quality information.  When it is then individualized and provided in large quantities, there is no match to the speed of learning and development.
