What Kind of Soccer Player Are You?
Every player has a unique personality that shapes how they learn, compete, respond to pressure โ and grow. This free quiz helps you discover your dominant player type and gives you a personalised report with honest insights and concrete challenges to take your game to the next level.
Why We Built This Quiz This WayAt TM17pro, we believe great coaching starts with understanding the person behind the player. To build this quiz, we drew on three researchers whose work has genuinely shaped how we think about player development:
Birkenbihl showed that people learn fastest when new information connects to patterns they already recognize โ not through rote repetition, but through genuine understanding.
Csikszentmihalyi’s research on Flow revealed that people perform at their absolute best when the difficulty of a task matches their current skill level.
Goleman’s research demonstrated that Emotional Intelligence โ self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and motivation โ predicts performance more reliably than technical skill alone.
TM17pro is America’s largest independent soccer agency, offering elite youth soccer camps across 36+ US cities and programs in Europe. We believe player development starts with self-knowledge.
Leon Bรคtge is a former professional goalkeeper who signed his first professional contract at Eintracht Frankfurt under Nico Kovac โ one of European football’s most decorated coaches. He trained under goalkeeper coaches Manfred Petz and Jan Zimmermann, and counts former teammate Pascal among his deepest influences in understanding the mental side of the game.
Deeply shaped by Robert Enke’s legacy โ the importance of mental health and psychological safety in elite football โ and by Jรผrgen Klopp’s philosophy of developing the whole person, not just the player. Leon built this quiz drawing on John Strelecky’s framework of purpose and identity โ the belief that knowing who you are is the starting point for becoming who you can be.
