Elite Mental Systems · Ages 10–18 · Perth, Australia
YOUR CHILD HAS THE TALENT. THEY'RE MISSING
the system.
No one is teaching young players the performance systems elite athletes actually use. Coaches cover skill. Nobody covers the mental side. That gap is why talented kids plateau — and it ends here.

The Real Problem
TALENT ALONE
DOSEN'T convert.
Outside of training your child is scrolling for hours, gaming until midnight, drifting with no purpose. When pressure comes in a game, they freeze, drop their head, or want to quit. You've invested thousands in coaching, boots, and travel. The skill is there. The mental system is not.
Scrolling, gaming, drifting
Burning hours that should be building them. No plan, no accountability, no structure outside of one hour a week on the pitch.
They freeze when it matters
When pressure comes they drop their heads or want to quit. That's not a skill problem — it's a mental systems problem.
Nobody teaches the mental side
Coaches focus on skill. Parents try to help but get shut out. The player is left to figure it out alone. That's why talented kids plateau.
Potential disappearing in real time
You're watching it happen and have no idea how to stop it. Thousands invested. The skill is there. Without the system, none of it converts.
"The players who find the pathway aren't the most talented ones.
They are the most prepared ones."
— Mason · The Proper Player Mindset · Perth, WA
Proven at Every Level
Players Mason has worked with.
Alessandro Circati
Parma FC · Serie A · Socceroos Captain
Alessandro Circati is the ultimate proof that the pathway from Perth to the world stage is real. Now a dominant centre-back for Parma in Serie A, he was named Best Defender at Italy's 2024 Gran Galà del Calcio, the first Australian to receive the honor. Internationally, he made history as the youngest Socceroos captain in 44 years. Alessandro’s rise from local talent to a European standout and national leader is a testament to building elite mental systems before the world knows your name.
Trent Ostler
Perth Glory · A-League Men
Professional attacking midfielder for Perth Glory in the A-League Men. A homegrown talent, Trent is a prime example of the professional pathway available to young players right here in Australia. His rise into the A-League ranks underscores the power of local dedication and the importance of being prepared when the opportunity strikes. Trent’s presence in the professional game proves that with consistent work and an elite mindset, the jump from youth football to the big stage is within reach.
Ella Mastrantonio
Matildas International · WSL · Serie A · UEFA Women's CL
Matildas international who defines longevity at the absolute highest level of the women’s game. Capped for Australia at just 16, her decorated 15-year career has spanned the English WSL with Bristol City, Italy’s Serie A with Lazio, and the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Growing up in Perth, Ella’s journey proves that reaching the top and staying there requires the mental resilience to adapt to the toughest environments in football. She is living proof that with the right foundation, a local player can build a world-class legacy.
Kaelan Majekodunmi
Perth Glory · 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup
Professional centre-back for Perth Glory and a rising star for the Australian national team. He recently represented the Young Socceroos at the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia, starting in the knockout stages as Australia advanced as Group D winners. Kaelan’s success on the continental stage is a direct result of the discipline and mental toughness required to perform at your peak when the eyes of the country are on you.
The Coach Behind the System
Meet Mason.
Mason didn't build this program to sell something. He built it because he saw the same problem repeating itself, year after year, player after player. Talented kids with real ability, falling short of their potential not because they lacked skill, but because nobody ever gave them the mental systems to back it up.
With 25 years in football and 6 years coaching full-time, Mason has worked across every level of the game. From complete beginners stepping onto a pitch for the first time, all the way to professionals representing their country. He holds his B-Licence through Football Federation Australia and has built a reputation in Perth as the coach who genuinely raises standards, not just technically, but as a whole person.
"I'm not here to make players feel good for an hour. I'm here to give them something they'll carry for the rest of their lives."
His coaching philosophy is built on one belief: real confidence doesn't come from praise, it comes from knowing exactly who you are, what you're capable of, and what you're willing to do every single day. That belief is woven into every chapter of the E.L.I.T.E. system.
The players Mason has worked with are proof that the pathway exists. Alessandro Circati grew up in Perth and is now captaining the Socceroos and playing in Serie A at Parma. Ella Mastrantonio grew up in Perth and has played in the English WSL, Italian Serie A, and the UEFA Women's Champions League. Trent Ostler and Kaelan Majekodunmi are professional A-League players. Every one of them is evidence that geography is not an obstacle. Preparation is.
But Mason's proudest work isn't with the professionals. It's with the 13-year-old who was invisible on the pitch and is now leading their team. The 15-year-old who was scrolling for four hours a day and rebuilt their entire identity around becoming a serious footballer. That's who this program is for. That's why it exists.
Real Players. Real Results.
What the system
actually does.
Conor Mcgee
Age 15 · Centre Forward ·
Among the most consistent strikers in his age group in Australia, Conor was already talented when he started. He showed up every session. But there were parts of his game he was quietly avoiding: his physical presence, calling for the ball, and his weaker foot. He knew the gaps. He just never addressed them.
One of the first things to go was screens. He was spending hours on them. Not because someone forced the change, but because he made a decision about who he wanted to become, and screens didn't fit that person. The behaviour changed because the identity changed first.
He replaced that time with things that build him. Morning routine. Affirmations. Studying the best strikers in the world, how they move, how they position themselves before the ball arrives. Then implementing everything he learns. Every training session has a specific purpose. Every day has a plan. His nutrition, sleep, recovery, and gym sessions are all structured around becoming a professional footballer. While still attending school, just like every other 15-year-old.
What sets Conor apart now is not his consistency alone. It's what he goes looking for. He doesn't avoid hard situations. He seeks them out. He understands that when everything in you wants to stop, that's exactly when you grow the most.
Result: One of the most consistent strikers in his age group in Australia. That's not talent. That's a system applied every single day without compromise.
Aiman Mokhtar
· Technically gifted ·
Went from struggling for minutes to a standout performer
When Aiman started with Mason, the talent was obvious from day one. What was missing was the belief to match it. Head down. Shoulders hunched. On the pitch, super talented, technically gifted, but invisible when the game got hard. Smaller than most players around him. Struggling to get minutes.
The moment everything shifted happened during Ramadan. Mason ran an intense morning session. Hot weather. Aiman hadn't eaten or had a drop of water for hours. He was fasting. At the 60-minute mark, another player hit a wall and couldn't get back up. Mason stopped the group and said deliberately: It's okay if you want to stop. Sometimes in life, there have to be quitters.
Aiman didn't sit down. They went for another 25 minutes of intense one-versus-ones until Mason had to call it. That session proved something no coach could have told him from the outside. No matter what limitation he thought he had his size, the heat, hours of fasting his mind was stronger than all of it. He put himself on a completely different mental level that morning, and he has not come back down since.
Morning routine. Affirmations. Daily check-ins. Planning his week. Studying the game. The same commitment and consistency Conor has built, Aiman has built alongside him.
Result: From struggling to get minutes to a standout performer. When a player with that talent finally backs it with that mindset, there is no ceiling.
