- My Tryout Plan: two or three goals the player controls, a power phrase, box breathing, and picturing the first touch, first sprint and first smile.
- Look Back: how each goal went, something done well, and one thing to keep working on.

Very useful tool to get playing over the summer!
No more nagging. My daughter tracks her juggling daily and pushes herself.
This journal helped my kid go from passive to passionate about practice.
Gave this as a birthday gift and he won't put it down. He writes in it daily!
I gave her the journal. She is very determined to become a great goalkeeper so I’m sure she will definitely make it work to her advantage.
My daughter feels so proud tracking her progress. The anime style is a great touch.
My son now trains every day without being reminded. This journal is a game-changer.
Helps kids take ownership without the pressure we sometimes accidentally create.
Huge shift in my son's attitude toward training. He’s now holding himself accountable.
This was great. My son loved it and got inspired to train harder. Can’t wait for the journal to arrive.
I thoroughly enjoyed BallSlayer The Legend Begins. Great story for young athletes with a lot of life lessons that kids can easily relate to.
I wish all my players had this mindset tool. It's simple but incredibly effective.
I really enjoyed the Ball Slayer "The Legend Begins" book and I LOVE the Ball Slayer Soccer Journal. As a Parent and a Youth Soccer Coach I believe this is an incredibly useful tool to help teach our kids/youth players how to, SCORE (Achieve) GOALS!
The journal is a great way to help young soccer players to stay on track with their training and to reflect on their games and progress. It's all about consistency and discipline!
The book tells a compelling story about a young soccer player who works hard to follow his dreams and make it to an academy. We loved it as it shows the dream many young boys have about soccer and how you can fulfill them.
