Soccer Interactive.com is a division of Sports Training Interactive, LLC. Founded in 2006 by CEO Tim Horton as a new way to educate, motivate and engage coaches and players of team sports utilizing the unique capabilities of the internet. This concept empowers the coach and player by making the age appropriate information easily available online, giving them the ability to view it when and where they choose.
Our mission is to revolutionize soccer training via the web while building a community of coaches and players that contribute and enrich that learning process.
Tim observed that coaches and players have traditionally utilized the following methods of learning in team sports:
- Read training material.
- Watch video and live training demonstrations
- This helps to visualize and understand what correct coaching technique and technical training looks like and how to present and utilize it.
- Participate in a live and interactive coaching course or sports camp
- Provides valuable and immediate feedback and direction from licensed instructors.
He identified that the internet was very well suited to handle the first two methods of learning but also realized that while you can never replace the benefits of the live on-field session, we could develop unique tools that can address the tactical and classroom applications related to the third, interactive method of learning. It is this ability to address the interactive method of learning that separates Soccer Interactive.com from our competitors.
The one other integral part of the Sports Training Interactive concept is the utilization of video technology via the internet. As video on the net has begun to disrupt the traditional broadcast model we are a leader in embracing these new technologies. With the creation of Soccer Interactive TV and our unique web and desktop video players we are able to not only offer Pay Per View rental and purchase of soccer educational videos direct to your computer but free and ad driven content as well. Owning our own broadband channel also allows us to easily develop or broadcast original programming that can effectively reach a global audience with high quality, full screen video on demand or on the go.
So please stay tuned and we hope you will join our growing community of coaches and players as we lead the way in delivering an exciting and effective E-learning experience for all those people who love “The Beautiful Game” as much as we do.
