The Global Progression Standard
Providing a standardised benchmark for technical execution under pressure.
We measure what matters. In the "Old World," technical skill is often confused with physical maturity. Our system eliminates the noise by separating technical execution from physical capacity. This ensures that a player’s "Football IQ" and "Neural Efficiency" are evaluated independently of their physical stature—neutralising the Relative Age Effect and identifying talent that others miss.
The 10 Levels of Pressure
Training progresses through 10 levels of increasing time pressure and cognitive load to drive skill automation. This allows academies to:
- Track the “Transfer of Training” from training to the pitch
- Provide objective clarity on real performance impact
- Identify talent through Neural Efficiency
- Reduce reliance on physical maturity as the primary evaluation metric

Elite German Academy Case Study
The Challenge
A top-tier Bundesliga club needed to compare talent across international satellite academies without the noise of subjective scouting reports.
The Pivot
By installing Goal Station Arenas globally, they standardised their Talent ID.
The Result
The club identified “late bloomers” — players with high technical efficiency who had been overlooked due to physical stature.
The Impact
They neutralised the Relative Age Effect and secured their development pipeline against market bias.
