For Soccer Parents & Their Players
The Soccer Circle.
Always Player & Parent.

Soccer is not just a sport. It is a journey — of growth, setbacks, breakthroughs, and lifelong learning. For the player and the parent, every step of the way.

We open doors. We build pathways. We walk alongside you — from the first training session to the professional field.

Our Philosophy
Wins. Failures. Growth.
The Full Circle.

Great athletes are not made by avoiding failure — they are made by learning from it. At TM17pro, we believe soccer is a school for life. Every missed goal, every tough training, every setback is part of the education.

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

Michael Jordan

“To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.”

Michael Jordan

“Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.”

Michael Jordan
Why we do this
We Love What We Do.
Every Single Day.

TM17pro is not a business we stumbled into. It is a calling. Mirko and Marion have poured everything they are — their education, their experience, their family, their faith — into building something that genuinely changes the lives of young players and their families.

We are not here to collect fees or fill seats. We are here because we love the game, we love the development journey, and we love watching a player — or a parent — discover something they didn’t know was possible.

That passion is in every camp session, every consulting call, every podcast episode, and every message Marion replies to at midnight because a soccer parent needed to talk. This is what full commitment looks like. This is TM17pro.

❤️
We love what we do
This is not a job. It is a vocation. The energy Mirko and Marion bring to every camp, every session, and every family conversation comes from genuine love for the game and the people in it.
🔥
Full passion. No shortcuts.
We do not cut corners. We do not give generic advice. We bring our whole selves — our science, our experience, our family story — to every player and every parent we work with.
🌍
For the love of the game — and its people
Soccer gave us a life, a community, and four extraordinary children. We give it back — through every player we develop and every family we support.
Always two in the circle
The Player’s Journey.
The Parent’s Journey.
For the Player
Develop · Compete · Grow
German methodology. The DFB system that produced World Cup winners — applied to youth development across 36+ US cities.
Real challenges. We push players — because comfort zones don’t build champions. Failure is part of the training plan.
Lifelong learning. Technical skills are just the beginning. We develop football intelligence, emotional resilience, and character.
Open doors. Summer camps, year-round training, goalkeeper development, Hamburg programs, RC Lens, professional pathways.

❤️
For the Parent
Understand · Support · Navigate
Real guidance. Private consulting with Mirko & Marion — parents of four elite athletes who have navigated every stage of this journey themselves.
Know your type. Marion’s Soccer Parent Quiz identifies your parent personality and gives you personalised tools for supporting your player.
Community. The Soccer Circle Stammtisch — monthly live meet-ups with Marion and Mirko. Parents who understand, because they’re living it too.
Backed by science. Marion’s qualifications in music therapy, family therapy, and education mean the parent support isn’t opinion — it’s grounded in research.

The TM17pro Belief
Soccer Is a School
For Life.
🌱
Lifelong Learning

Every training session is an opportunity to learn something new — about football, about yourself, about how to handle difficulty.

🏆
Wins Matter

Winning is important. We compete seriously and we teach players to compete seriously. Success is earned through hard work and honest development.

💪
Failures Teach

Failure is not the opposite of success — it is part of the path. We build players who learn from setbacks rather than being broken by them.

🚪
We Open Doors

From local training in Charleston to professional football in Hamburg — TM17pro builds the pathways that most families never knew existed.

Real pathways
We Don’t Just Talk About Europe.
We Take Players There.

7+ players from Augusta alone have already attended TM17pro programs in Hamburg. Jonas Dieseler — Mirko and Marion’s son — plays professionally in the Regionalliga Northeast in Germany. The pathway is real. The doors are open.

Mirko & Marion.
Parents First.

We are not a company that happened to enter soccer. We are soccer parents — who raised four children through elite youth sport on two continents, made every mistake, asked every hard question, and built what we once wished had existed.

Mirko holds a Master of Sports Science, a Master of Education, and a UEFA B License. Marion is a qualified Music Therapist, Family Therapist, and holds a Master of Education. Everything TM17pro does is backed by academic science and lived experience — in equal measure.

Four children. Two continents. One mission.
