Discover the ProgramsThe Operating System
Five pillars that decide whether a player is actually ready.
Most players train more. Few players measure the right things. Project Zero turns ambition into a visible scorecard that a coach, scout, parent and player can understand.
Mentality
Emotional control, focus, resilience, courage, leadership, pressure response and the desire to keep improving when corrected.
Does the player respond like a professional?Technical
First touch, receiving, ball control, short passing, long passing, finishing, aerial control and execution under pressure.
Can the player handle the ball at speed?Tactical
Decision making, attacking phases, defensive phases, safe and risky zones, positioning, timing and game understanding.
Can the player make the right decision fast?Physical
Speed, acceleration, agility, coordination, running technique, strength in duels, power and the ability to repeat actions.
Can the player survive the physical demand?SC BragaBenficaSporting LisbonPortugalSpainFranceItalyEnglandBrazil

The Dream Became The System.
Project Zero is not built on theory. It comes from a player who grew up inside the Canadian system, reached the international stage, trained with world-class professionals, and now gives serious players a clearer road than he had.
2001
The Dream Starts
Organized football became the obsession. The goal was not to play casually. The goal was to become a professional.
2013
Canada World Cup Standard
Derick represented Canada internationally, reached World Cup competition, and earned a professional environment before most players understand what the standard requires.
2026
The Pathway Opens
Project Zero now helps selected players prepare for Portugal through assessment, measurable development, and professional relationship based exposure.
