• ZYPHR ACADEMY

Zyphr Academy is founded by Jason Yau – a football player who are obsessed about football and wants to develop players to be the best they can be. He understands that the surrounding of a player’s environment is key to their development and Zyphr Academy encourages players to make mistakes, to try things even when it is not working out and give 100% in each training session and match

Being a professional footballer in Hong Kong is extremely difficult with a lack of clear pathway, guidance, and support for young players to develop and succeed. With this reason, Zyphr Academy is created to help develop players and equip them with the right training methods and mentality to compete internationally..

We work with professional coaches and players who are extremely experienced in the football world. Some with over 20+ years of football experiences, our sessions cover all aspect of the game including football technique, strength training, mental & emotional training

We work with players at all ages and levels from amateur to professional players. Our coaches are from Brazil, Japan, Germany, Hong Kong, England, and Scotland

Goals:

  • Provide professional guidance for players to improve on their football technique, conditioning, and mental preparation

Approach:

  • The modern approach to football has changed drastically. We work with professional coaches and players who are actively involved in the game both from a coaching perspective and playing perspective.
  • Training sessions will be between 60-90 minutes. The key is to ensure the player gives 100% effort and focus during the session to accomplish a key goal in the session.
  • Our training sessions will also push the players to work on their communication skills, teamwork, and emotional intelligence.

Method:

  • We have worked with over 100+ players from all around the world, from amateur level to professional level. The difference between an amateur and a professional is their experience and the speed of their play, technique, and reaction. Progression has no shortcut, and we will work with the player closely to ensure our private training complements with their team training and matches.
