About Us
Our Mission to Educate Coaches
Be the Next Generation Soccer Coach with TM17pro
At TM17pro, our mission is to equip coaches with the knowledge, skills, and network they need to excel in today’s game. We believe that coaching is more than tactics and drills. It is about building people, fostering leadership, and creating environments where athletes can grow on and off the field.
Player-Centered Coaching
We are committed to teaching a player-centered coaching philosophy. This means focusing on the development of the whole athlete, technically, tactically, and mentally, while also preparing coaches to take on leadership roles in their communities and clubs. By emphasizing respect, teamwork, and long-term growth, our programs ensure that every coach graduates with both the knowledge and the values needed to succeed.
The Coaching Pathway
Beginner Online Course
Our journey with coaches often begins in our introductory online programs. These courses are designed to provide a strong foundation for those new to UEFA licensing. They are taught by highly qualified instructors who bring both professional playing and coaching experience. Participants benefit from more than structured education. They join a growing network of coaches, exchange ideas, and build lifelong professional connections.
Coaches who complete these programs qualify to progress into the UEFA C License. This makes our courses an accessible and supportive entry point into the world’s most respected coaching education framework.
UEFA B & C Licenses
TM17pro currently offers the UEFA C License and the UEFA B License, which form the first two steps in UEFA’s globally recognized pathway.
- The UEFA C License introduces the fundamentals of player and team development and provides the essential building blocks for a coaching career.
- The UEFA B License builds on that foundation and prepares coaches for higher levels of competition with a deeper focus on tactics, training methodology, and leadership.
Together, these licenses create a strong platform for coaches who want to advance within the UEFA system or raise the standards in their own environments.
Our Partnership With the Berlin Football Association
Through our collaboration with the Berlin Football Association (BFV), TM17pro is able to deliver courses under official UEFA standards. This ensures that every qualification earned here is recognized across Europe and beyond. Coaches can be confident that their hard work will be respected wherever the game takes them.
At TM17pro, we are proud to provide this bridge between ambitious coaches and the opportunities offered by UEFA’s world-leading education system. Whether you are taking your first step with the C License or advancing to the B, we are here to support you throughout your journey.
