Presented by Peter Pearson, Technical Director
Supporting the Athlete Beyond the Game
At Own Touch Soccer and FutsalRVA, player development goes beyond technical ability.
More Than Technical Training
As athletes grow, they face challenges that are not always solved through more training with the ball — confidence, pressure, mistakes, playing time, communication, leadership, motivation, recruiting, and balancing the demands of sport with everyday life.
The Leadership & Mindset Program was created to provide athletes and families with an additional layer of support in these areas.
About Peter Pearson
Peter Pearson is the Technical Director for Own Touch Soccer and FutsalRVA and a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, where he studied Sociology.
His background combines soccer, leadership, mentorship, and community work. Peter has worked with nonprofit organizations focused on youth development, helping young people recognize their value, build confidence, and become more comfortable expressing themselves.
His approach centers on the person behind the athlete. He believes that understanding emotions, developing self-awareness, and building strong personal habits can positively influence performance both on and off the field.
Through this program, Peter brings that same passion for mentorship into the Own Touch environment, helping athletes grow with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
What the Program Focuses On
The program helps athletes develop tools that can positively impact both their performance and personal growth, including:
- Confidence and self-belief
- Responding to mistakes and adversity
- Managing pressure and expectations
- Leadership and communication
- Motivation and personal accountability
- Navigating playing time and competition
- Goal setting and preparation
- Recruiting and athlete decision-making
- Balancing sport, school, and personal responsibilities
A More Complete Approach to Athlete Development
Technical development remains at the core of what we do.
This program is not designed to replace soccer or futsal training. Instead, it complements the work athletes are already doing by helping them better manage the mental, emotional, and leadership demands that come with competitive sports.
The goal is to help athletes become more confident, self-aware, resilient, and prepared to handle the challenges they will face both in competition and beyond it.
For Athletes and Families
The Leadership & Mindset Program is an optional resource for families who want additional guidance and support as their athlete continues to develop.
Sessions are designed to create meaningful conversations, practical strategies, and a stronger understanding of the habits and mindset that support long-term growth.
