Our Values
Deep Roots In Soccer
Culture
Soccer –Fussball – is a longtime feature of Germany’s athletic culture. Local clubs dot the country’s sports landscape and are the place where dreams begin. Today’s professional league, the Bundesliga, was established in Dortmund in 1962. TM17 USA’s team members have an extensive history in soccer playing – and supporter – success.
Best-In-Class Growth
Opportunities
The US sports culture is in transition. Soccer is rapidly increasing in its appeal with both athletes and fans; with the greatest engagement generated by younger people. This increased interest is a driving force – and opportunity – for expansion: in coaching and player education, as well as team and league professionalism and investment opportunities.
TM17 USA is exporting its professional soccer and investment expertise to the US.
Strong Transatlantic
Connections
The US presence and influence of major international soccer clubs is contributing to soccer’s growth across the country. TM17 USA is leveraging its network to foster stronger connections and collaboration in the soccer communities.
TM17 USA Services
TM17 USA addresses the core needs of international soccer: Creating an even playing field in coaching and player education and team organization funding.
Coach Education and Training
TM17 USA brings German coaching education expertise to the US playing field. It’s no coincidence that the last three winning coaches in the European Champions League have been German-educated coaches: Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool; Hansi Flick, FC Bayern Munich; Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea FC. Paving the way for American talent, our goal is to expand the skills and tools of every individual coach through active learning, feedback, and real-game situation challenges. Our courses are certified by the Berlin Football Association, and we collaborate with them to ensure the quality of our education and training courses.
Player Evaluation
Assessing current performance is the first step to competitive soccer. Internalizing behavioral feedback helps bring the player’s best game – and in the best case, places them with a recognized club. TM17 USA utilizes its many years of experience in the German soccer market in player training and scouting, as well as club placement.
Investment Opportunities
The German soccer market offers attractive entry-investment opportunities for those interested in sports franchise and their ancillary businesses. Compared to other European and international soccer markets, there is considerable growth potential – particularly in TV rights revenue and club sponsorship. Broadly seen, sports risk-investment is underdeveloped in Germany – making it a great opportunity for US-based venture investors. TM17 USA currently represent several German soccer clubs with high growth and value potential.
