 Total Soccer Fitness and Training Philosophy: The 4-C Method
- Control -- the ability to maneuver a soccer ball via dribbling, juggling, passing, receiving and striking the ball.
Learning to maneuver a soccer ball leads to...
- Comfort on the ball, feeling at ease with the ball at the feet. And once comfortable with the ball a soccer player
achieves success with the ball. Success breeds...
- Confidence in any and all situations. And a confident player develops...
- Creativity. Very few sports offer the individual creativity of soccer: a slashing, dashing dribble, a pinpoint pass, a spectacular finish...
- Add it all up -- Control + Comfort + Confidence + Creativity = Joga Bonito

History of Total Soccer Fitness and Training
TSFT began as a hobby for Tom DeNigris, owner & director of Total Soccer Fitness & Training, LLC,
in the Fall of 2000. While also coaching his
daughter's travel soccer team and serving as the assistant coach on
his son's travel team, Tom volunteered to help out with an Under-10
girls team.
The following fall, Tom added two more teams to his training schedule
and now the hobby had turned into a part-time small-business venture
titled, "Total Soccer Training Academy".
With more and more teams being added each soccer season, and the business
booming, Tom went full-time and registered the business as a Limited
Liability Company with the state of New Jersey. On August 26, 2004,
Total Soccer Fitness & Training, LLC, was born.
