The Five Pillars of Formation
A framework for understanding what organizes a player—before performance appears.
A way to participate in your own formation— and
unlearn what no longer serves.
The Five Pillars—Biomechanics, Technical, Cognitive, Soccer IQ, and Emotional Intelligence—describe how players are shaped over time through environment, pressure, and relationship.
This work is not about producing results. It is about understanding what organizes behavior—and what interferes with it. Take fifteen minutes to move through the material that follows.
