How It All Began

​

Hi, I’m Neil Shaffer, the founder of FutbolerFit and FutbolerFit Soccer. After a 6 year professional soccer career, I turned my focus to helping athletes more directly with their training and nutrition so that they can be better athletes on and off the field. 

​

My career is a little different than most. I went from getting interest from only one Division 1 College out of High School, to starting as a freshman, to becoming a Regional All-American by my senior season.

​

Following college, again, I was overlooked and went undrafted and signed with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL.

​

From there, I went on to a 6 year professional playing career, that included captaining two professional soccer teams, being invited into train with two MLS teams, and making it to two championship games in the USL and NASL. 

​

What I learned from my career is what stays with the me the most. And that is how hard work, dedication, and enjoying the process, can get you to where you want to go. 

​

I would love to help you or your child get started in their soccer fitness journey so that they can thrive in their soccer career as well.

​

God Bless,

Neil Shaffer
