MEULENSTEEN VIRTUAL ACADEMY
OUR PARTNERS
The Academy works with organisations that share René's commitment to player development. Each one brings something different to the coaches and parents in the Academy.
BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
XVENTURE
XVenture is an Australian behavioural science and experiential learning company. Its team built the virtual Academy and runs the Behavioural Science Lab inside it, led by Dr Mike Conway.
Elite members get Mike's survey tools, articles, podcasts, learning modules and webinars on emotional intelligence, leadership, communication, culture and building resilience.
COACHING BOOKS AND RESOURCES
SOCCER TUTOR
SoccerTutor.com publishes René's books, René Meulensteen and Man Utd Methods of Success Volumes 1 and 2. They set out his coaching philosophy, training sessions and a full season plan from his years as Sir Alex Ferguson's first team coach.
Coaches who want to go deeper than the Academy will find René's books alongside a large library from other top coaches.
FOOTBALL TACTICS AND ANIMATION
FM STADIO
Every animation in the Meulensteen Virtual Academy was made with the FM Stadio app. When you watch one of René's moves, drills or small-sided games play out on screen, you're watching FM Stadio at work.
FM Stadio is a web app for building and animating tactics and training sessions. Coaches can set out exercises and small-sided games with cones, markers and goals, add arrows and labels, then export them as video or images. There's a free plan to get started.
YOUTH SPORTS DIRECTORY
FIND YOUR CLUB
Find Your Club helps families find the right club for their child. Parents can search thousands of soccer clubs, camps and tournaments across the United States and watch verified video reviews from players, parents and coaches.
Clubs use it to tell their own stories and reach new families, so it suits club directors and coaches as well as parents.

We'd love to hear from organisations that want to help coaches and parents develop better players.
