Player First Performance is a soccer development company that offers Elite Group Training designed to improve the individual through high-quality, intentional repetition. Our approach centers on enhancing each player’s core performance factors to help them succeed both within a team environment and as independent contributors.

We develop the technical ability, tactical awareness, mental strength, and physical conditioning needed to perform at a high level. Our training environment is player-centric, with a strong emphasis on creating a positive, nurturing, and growth-oriented culture for every athlete.

In addition to our on-field group training, we offer two highly specialized pathways: the Virtual Player Development Program and the Individual Development Program, each tailored for committed players seeking structure, accountability, and long-term development.

At Player First Performance, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality services that reflect the integrity, detail, and joy of the beautiful game.

Our founder, Lester Dewee, is a retired professional and U.S. Youth International who is passionate about helping players and families confidently navigate the soccer landscape with clarity and purpose.
