About Us
Our Mission to Educate Coaches
Be the Next Generation Soccer Coach with TM17pro
At TM17pro SOCCER COACHING ACADEMY our mission is to equip coaches with the knowledge, skills, and network they need to excel in today’s game. As an independent soccer coaching academy with German roots we believe that coaching is much more than tactics and drills. It is about building people, fostering leadership, and creating environments where athletes can grow on and off the field.
GUIDANCE EDUCATION NETWORK
Our soccer coaching courses offer more than tools – they provide a lifelong pathway of coach education. With a wide range of modules, from online beginner classes to official UEFA license programs, we guide and support soccer coaches at every stage of their development. Over the past years, our continuous soccer coaching programs have built a strong international network of soccer coaches who actively share their knowledge and experiences. By learning with us, you become part of this valuable global network and stay connected with coaches from around the world.
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 soccer 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
Online Coach Courses
Our journey with coaches often begins in our online coach courses. These courses are designed to provide a strong foundation for those new to DFB 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.
DFB UEFA C & B 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 DFB UEFA C License introduces the fundamentals of player and team development and provides the essential building blocks for a coaching career.
- The DFB 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.
