Most players think that “training” is only the physical training you do on the field. However, real training includes taking care of every aspect of your life and “training” or improving those parts of your lifestyle.

✅Sleep

My name is Daniel Pena, founder of the Art of Football, and I’ve been playing soccer ever since I can remember. I’ve always been a decent player, but it wasn’t until I made some drastic changes to my trainings and lifestyle routines, through years of studying, researching, and experimenting, that I began to experience exponential results like never before.
My goal now is to share all of the knowledge and information I’ve gathered through the years with players so that they do not have to waste time getting injured and training the wrong things like I did when I was a younger player. If you would like to learn more please reach out to me or check out my blogs and Instagram page to see a bit more about our training philosophies.
I am also an SJSU Kinesiology graduate and I am currently playing for an adult amateur team called Atletico San Jose in the 4th division of U.S Soccer.

Testimonials
“Training with Daniel over the last 4 weeks has helped me to become more in control of my body movement on and off the field. The exercises we worked on specifically focus on balance and stability which helps to improve your biomechanics and agility on and off the ball. Daniel tailors each session to the needs of individual clients based off of their specific needs which provides players with a bespoke experience. I would recommend training with Daniel if you want to have a better understanding of the human body in order to improve your sports performance.”- Payton O’dell (Former college player and current Amateur Footballer
“Yeah also I wanted to take time and I don’t usually do this but today I got a starting roll on the first team in west valley and honestly couldn’t thank you enough for getting this far , a year ago I was on the bench playing with kids my age and on the lowest level for the worst team and now I am in one of the best ever spots . So thank you for everything” – Diego Ramirez, West Valley United U19 player
“So far the training has helped me feel better on my feet and with the ball. Meaning moving with the ball more comfortably and confidently as well, sort of getting into that flow state we talk about. Another thing the training had helped me with is learning different turns i can do in the mid when receiving the ball, as well as getting into the habit of lifting my head up and checking my shoulders. I feel like its also made my movement quicker in general and decision making with the ball. And yes i definitely do feel lighter on my feet and just more comfortable in general.” – Lorenzo Boch, North Valley United Player

Frequently Asked Questions
The art of football is a public blog and a private training program designed to make you a better footballer.
My goal is to pass down all the knowledge that I have learned throughout the years, that I wish I knew when I was a younger player. I’ve spent years studying in school and independently and know that I have a lot of helpful information that can help players in all types of ways. I provide a ton of free content to help you improve and if you want to speed up your results then that is what this training program is for. Another one of my goals is to help create talented players.
The Art of Football can help you in many ways such as by helping you improve the fundamental skills of the game, improve athleticism, helping you recover from injuries, and much more. Make sure to check out the rest of this page to learn more about our program.
The in-person and online training programs offer basically the same things except for the online version we will be doing weekly zoom calls instead of meeting in-person.
This program is for participants who want to improve their soccer skills and all other aspects of performance regardless of your age, gender, or skill level.
You can learn anything you want on youtube, including a lot of the things I will teach you, but the problem is you don’t know what you are really looking for and it will take much more time going through tons of videos. You will save a lot more time, energy, and have a clear plan as to what you can be doing to improve as a footballer right now, not just guessing.
You get access to the program as soon as you sign up and you stay inside for as long as we set our terms too during any of our client calls.
