For football clubs and academies
Upchamps helps clubs and academies measure discipline, intensity and character in young players — not just technique.
The philosophy
The problem
Clubs evaluate technique, speed, match results. Few have an instrument for what happens before technique: active presence at training, reaction to correction, sustained intensity, attentive execution, spontaneous initiative.
These signals exist in every player. Without a system, they remain isolated observations, dependent on one coach's memory and subjectivity.
The solution
A 90-second checklist, 5 observable signals, applied by the coach for every player. The result: a clear index, trackable over time, showing not how talented a child is, but how solidly they're growing.
For the club
01
An overview of the whole age group, not just player by player.
02
The system flags consistency drops automatically, before they show up on match day.
03
A clear, exportable document for conversations with staff and parents.
Built with rigor
Upchamps is built on 20+ years of experience developing young players and tested methodologically through a university research program, statistically validating the link between behavioral consistency and real performance.
For families
Once IFI is part of the club's structure, Upchamps brings discipline into the child's daily rhythm — three short moments, with motivation, training homework and simple home exercises.
Progress is shared automatically with both parent and coach — the same picture, from two angles.
An email, a 20-minute conversation, a pilot with no long-term commitment.
