Total Immersion is Mark Franek’s term for an integrated coaching and academic environment designed to immerse American youth players in a culture where elite soccer ambitions are fully supported—where players never feel their dreams are unimportant, or unattainable—much like in soccer-mad countries around the world. The brand represents both this Total Immersion (TI) philosophy and the belief that all American soccer people are connected.

Mark presents his Total Immersion (TI) philosophy in the final chapter of American Soccer Nation, which is available here for free. Over the next two years, Mark plans to write two additional books: one focused on the TI philosophy at elite American soccer academies, and another that aims to tell the women’s story of American soccer.
