FOOTBALL FUTURE PRO

Football Intelligence. High Performance Standards. Winning Habits.

We are a development pathway.

Football Future Pro is a not-for-profit, invitation-only football development organisation based in Perth’s Western Suburbs, working with a small number of committed players aged 6–12.
We exist to develop young footballers through football intelligence, high performance standards, and strong professional habits, creating an environment where players learn how to train, think, and compete properly.

WHY FOOTBALL FUTURE PRO EXISTS

Football Future Pro was founded by A-Licensed coach John McGlynn, who brings over 30 years of coaching experience across junior, senior, and professional football environments in Australia and internationally.
After decades working in the game, John identified consistent issues within youth football:

  • Overcrowded “academy” models
  • Rising costs with declining standards
  • Inconsistent coaching environments
  • Limited focus on thinking, decision-making, and habits

Football Future Pro was created to provide a professional, affordable, and standards-driven alternative, focused on long-term player development rather than hype or shortcuts.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe talent alone is not enough.
At Football Future Pro:

  • High performance standards matter — because standards shape behaviour
  • Winning matters — because winning is a habit
  • Thinking matters — because football is a decision-making game

Players are taught how to:

  • Train with purpose
  • Understand the game
  • Make decisions under pressure
  • Compete with intent
  • Take responsibility for improvement

We do not chase results at the expense of development —
but we do believe that learning how to win the right way is essential for players who aspire to higher levels of the game.

FOOTBALL INTELLIGENCE

A core pillar of Football Future Pro is the development of football intelligence.
Our training environments are designed to improve:

  • Perceptual, situational, and game awareness
  • Anticipation and understanding of game situations
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Emotional control and resilience

By developing football intelligence alongside technical ability, players learn to see the game more clearly, decide faster, and perform with confidence.

OUR COMMITMENT

As a not-for-profit organisation, Football Future Pro is guided by:
  • Player development over profit
  • Quality over quantity
  • Long-term progression over short-term outcomes
We intentionally limit numbers to protect standards, culture, and individual development. Every decision we make is driven by what best serves the long-term growth of the player.

OUR MISSION

To develop confident, disciplined, and intelligent young footballers through high-quality coaching, strong habits, and a performance-driven environment — while keeping football challenging, purposeful, and enjoyable.

This naturally leads to Recruitment without pushing.
