Introducing SteDoriMedia: A Revolutionary Soccer Training Hub by a Former Atletico Madrid Player

SteDoriMedia: A Comprehensive Guide to Soccer Development

Soccer is not just a game; it’s a complex ecosystem that needs the right guidance and resources for young athletes to thrive. This is precisely the vision behind SteDoriMedia, a new soccer training media platform launched by Rui Miyagawa, a former player from the renowned Atletico Madrid youth organization.

The Background of Rui Miyagawa

Rui Miyagawa commenced his soccer journey at the young age of 10 when he moved to Spain to join Atletico Madrid’s prestigious youth academy. Spending approximately six years immersed in this elite training environment shaped his understanding of the game. Rui emphasizes the rigorous focus on not only technical skills but also critical thinking in decision-making during matches. “In the development scene in Spain, one learns to critically evaluate where to position oneself, when to release the ball, and the reasoning behind each decision. This foundation has ultimately shaped my philosophy of soccer,” explains Rui.

Upon returning to Japan, he obtained a JFA C-class coaching license and founded StayDream Group in 2024. The agency focuses on supporting overseas soccer trials and the development of aspiring professional players. Through this journey, Rui recognized a significant issue: the lack of accessible information for parents regarding youth training environments.

The Vision Behind SteDoriMedia

Seeing the necessity for a reliable resource, Rui founded SteDoriMedia. He aims to bridge the information gap that many parents face, whether they are choosing a soccer school, planning daily training routines, managing pre-game nutrition, or supporting their child's mental well-being.

“The key to cultivating players that can thrive internationally lies in a robust training environment within Japan. However, many parents find themselves at a loss when it comes to selecting schools or structuring their children’s daily practices,” says Rui. Thus, SteDoriMedia serves as a comprehensive guide for families navigating these crucial stages of their child’s soccer journey.

What SteDoriMedia Offers

SteDoriMedia offers various features designed to empower both players and their families:

1. Nationwide Soccer School Rankings: SteDoriMedia presents ranked listings of soccer schools throughout Japan, categorized by prefectures and municipalities. Schools are evaluated based on their training methodologies, making it easier for parents to align a school with their child’s unique character. Ongoing additions to rankings for high school soccer, junior youth, and university competitions are also planned.

2. Original Development Columns: Rui and his team provide over 30 articles based on five core themes reflecting his experiences and coaching knowledge:
- Training Regimens: Effective self-training methods and activities for parents and children.
- Parental Engagement: Strategies for providing constructive feedback after matches and encouraging motivation.
- Nutrition: Essential dietary guidance for young athletes, including pre- and post-game meal recommendations.
- Pathways and Selection: Insights on selecting elite schools and preparation for selection processes.
- Mental Coaching: Approaches to combat nervousness during matches and rebound from setbacks.

3.

The real-world experience of StayDream Group—having facilitated contracts for 13 players—contributes valuable insights for players and parents alike.

Rui Miyagawa's Mission

Rui recalls the uncertainties his parents faced when they sent him to Spain, struggling to find the right environment for his development. SteDoriMedia aims to provide comprehensive support for today’s parents, reflecting what he wished for back then. “I want SteDoriMedia to serve as a dependable partner for parents navigating everything from school selection to daily training, nutrition, and mental support. This media will be a companion in their child's soccer journey,” Rui states passionately.
