I built the coach I needed at sixteen.

I played academy soccer in New York. Practice three nights a week, a game on Saturday, and the rest of the time I was on my own — searching drills on my phone, doing too much the day before a game, nothing the day after, and never knowing if I was actually getting better.

The kids who improved fastest had private trainers who planned their week. Most of us couldn't afford one. That gap is what Striv closes: a plan for today that knows your position, your level, what hurts, and what your team is doing this week.

No feed, no influencers, no endless library. Open it, train, log your best, close it. If you're a player who wants more from the days between practices, or a parent trying to help without becoming the coach — this is for you.
