Nashville SC MLS player and League Cup finalist (facing off against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami). Tampa Bay Rowdies Eastern Conference Champions, Regular Season & Atlantic Division Champions. Two-year MLS professional with Atlanta United (2019–2020). Multiple-time All-American at Furman University. Trained at the Manchester United Academy from ages 6–16, playing alongside Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay. Coached by world-class legends including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick, and Wayne Rooney. Over a decade of elite development at the highest youth, collegiate, and professional levels.
Online 1:1 Video Analysis allows your child to have their OWN game footage or position-specific professional film broken down, giving them detailed insights to improve decision-making and performance. Group Video Analysis sessions, led by multiple players, allow participants to review and learn from their footage together, providing collaborative learning and lower costs while still receiving guidance from professional players like myself. 1:1 Mentorship sessions focus on player paths, successes, challenges, and short-term goals to accelerate development both on and off the field. In-person sessions in the Tampa Bay area are available for a $300 flat fee for up to 6 players (includes travel and setup time), with $50 per additional player. Sessions are built on the fundamentals I learned over 10 years at the Manchester United Academy and 8 years at the highest professional level in the USA, combining sharp, intense exercises with expert guidance to build confidence, skill, and game intelligence.

Laurence is excellent at training youth the skills not often learned at the competitive level. Would recommend 100% of the time. He’s patient yet pushes kids to excel during every session.

I am so impressed how well he works with my 11 year old son! It is a true honor to have met him and also to have him as a Coach!

Christina (Testimonial)
Lucas really enjoyed the video and used the tips you gave him in Saturday’s game. The coach even pointed out some of the things he did, and Lucas told me he learned them from you.
Charles (Testimonial)
My daughter Sofia is at IMG and aiming for college scholarships. Working with Tactical Player and their pros has given her access to some of the best players in the country. It’s not just helping her play better—it’s teaching her to deliver a complete performance for college coaches, with elite positioning, game awareness, and decision-making—skills most U.S. youth players never get. The investment is already paying off, with more college invitations, scholarship offers, and a deeper understanding of herself as a player, person, and athlete.
Kevin (Testimonial)
My son was really struggling with his performance on the field and the ups and downs of trying to reach the next level. Since starting video analysis and mentorship sessions with Laurence at Tactical Player, he’s gained confidence, clarity, and a whole new perspective on his game. He was on the Tampa Bay United MLS Team, and now, thanks to this guidance, he’s earned an academy contract in Italy. This program has truly opened doors and bridged the gap between what coaches see and what parents see. I never realized how many details were going unnoticed before.
