OUR MISSION
ThirdManPerformance exists to educate and develop youth footballers across all four pillars of performance; technical, tactical, psychological and physical, helping players maximise their potential both on and off the pitch.
Having spent more than 15 years in the fitness industry and nearly a decade coaching football, one of the biggest challenges I've consistently observed is the lack of a truly holistic player development platform. While many resources focus on one aspect of performance, very few provide players with the education and structure needed to develop across all four pillars.
Since launching ThirdManPerformance in 2025, our content has quickly reached thousands of players, coaches, and parents, growing a community of more than 25,000 followers across our social platforms. Through this journey, we've been able to make a meaningful impact in the psychological and physical aspects of performance. However, one area continually stood out: technical development.
When players are asked to complete individual training outside of team sessions, the response is often the same: "I'll practise free kicks" or "I'll kick the ball around with a mate." While these activities can be enjoyable, they rarely provide the structure, repetition or progression required for genuine improvement. As a result, many players fail to see meaningful progress, lose motivation and become overly reliant on team training as their sole source of development.
Team training remains incredibly important, but players who want to maximise their potential must be willing to do more.
That is why the 28-Day Ball Mastery Program was created.
Designed to bridge the gap between team training sessions, this program provides a clear, structured pathway for players to improve their technical quality through purposeful repetition, progressive challenges and game-relevant exercises.
28-DAY BALL MASTERY PROGRAM
Over four weeks, players progressively develop the technical foundations required to perform confidently under pressure.
Week 1 - Fundamentals: Master the basics and build technical consistency.
Week 2 - Pressure: Execute skills under increased time constraints.
Week 3 - Fatigue: Maintain technical quality when physically challenged.
Week 4 - Transfer: Combine the skills developed in Weeks 1–3 and apply them in football-specific scenarios.
Each session is designed to be completed independently, allowing players to train wherever and whenever it suits them. Whether you're on a football field, in the backyard, at a local park, or even in your lounge room, all you need is a football and a small amount of space to get started.
Unlike many training programs, TMP doesn't require a coach, training partner, or expensive equipment. Players can take ownership of their development and complete every session independently while still receiving clear demonstrations, coaching points, and structured progressions.
The program is available in two formats:
Foundation – A focused 20-minute daily session designed for players looking to build consistency and improve their technical quality.
Pro – Includes the full Foundation session plus an additional 10 minutes of advanced training, providing players with a deeper challenge and greater training volume.
