The Blueprint Forward

One Year In — and What’s Ahead for Blueprint Soccer XI

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I started this weekly newsletter. Thank you sincerely for your continued support over the past 12 months—it’s been incredibly rewarding to see this community grow.

As we head into 2026, there will be a small but intentional change. Beginning this year, the newsletter will be released on Tuesdays in honor of Tactical Tuesday, rather than our usual Sunday drop. After long weekends, I felt the last thing you needed was another email waiting in your inbox.

We’ll continue to publish in-depth, educational pieces focused on player development, evolving tactical trends, and other relevant topics across the global soccer landscape. It’s shaping up to be another busy and exciting year, especially with the FIFA World Cup taking place this summer here in the United States.

If you’ve enjoyed the newsletter, I’d truly appreciate you sharing it with teammates, friends, and colleagues across the game.

All the best in the new year,
Clint
