FPFootballPath

Two founders, one team behind them

Albert and Nico both play professionally and still live the pathway your player is on. A coaching team sits behind every plan we write — and every one of them is a real person you can look up.

Founders

Founder & mentor

Albert Aramayo

Professional footballer · Bolivia U-20 international · degree in business administration

Born and raised in the United States, and plays the South American game — the street-sharpened, take-the-ball-under-pressure version most American academies never teach. That combination is the whole reason FootballPath exists: he knows what US club and college football asks for, and what it leaves out. Holds a degree in business administration alongside the playing career, and builds the training and career side of every plan.

What they do for your player
  • Writes the training block and signs off every plan before a family sees it
  • Owns the honest conversation about level and timeline — what is realistic, and by when
  • Reads your monthly check-in and adjusts the next block against it
Co-founder & mentor

Nico Landa

Professional footballer · GV San José · certified sports coach (Argentina) · degree in business administration

A professional at GV San José who came through the Bolivian national team set-up at U-17 and U-23, with a coaching certification earned in Argentina and a background in business administration. Leads the mindset work — confidence after a bad game, pressure at a tryout, being dropped. The mental side is what separated the players who made it from the ones who did not.

The coaching team

Head coach, women’s programme

Professional footballer · ex-Sunderland · Bolivia international

  • Reviews film for players in the women's programme
Mentor & technical coach

Donovan Carey

Professional footballer

Works on the ball — first touch, weak foot, decisions under pressure. Takes the film notes and turns them into drills a player will actually do on their own.

What they do for your player
  • Technical work: first touch, receiving under pressure, weak foot
  • Turns the notes on your film into the actual drills in your next block
  • Checks the block is something a player can do alone, without a coach watching
Strength & conditioning

Derek Rivera

Strength & conditioning · formerly D.C. United

Came from the professional game — he built S&C for players at D.C. United. Age-appropriate loading, always: he reviews every gym block and pulls volume back on purpose when a player is mid growth spurt.

Derek Rivera

Strength & conditioning · formerly D.C. United

Came from the professional game — he built S&C for players at D.C. United. Age-appropriate loading, always: he reviews every gym block and pulls volume back on purpose when a player is mid growth spurt.

What they do for your player
  • Builds the gym programme, scaled to age and training age rather than bodyweight
  • Pulls barbell and heavy axial work during a growth spurt — a rule in the system, not a judgement call
  • Reviews every gym block for volume before it is published
Goalkeeper coach

Daniel Sandy

Bolivia U-20 and U-23 · first division goalkeeper, Real Potosí

Mexican-Bolivian goalkeeper, capped at U-20 and U-23 level for Bolivia and currently playing first division football for Real Potosí. Goalkeeping is a different sport inside the sport — handling, footwork, distribution under pressure, and the decisions that never show up in a highlight reel. He is still in it, which is the point: the position has changed, and he is coaching the version of it that is actually played now.

What they do for your player
  • Goalkeeper-specific work: handling, footwork, distribution, positioning
  • The decisions that never appear in a highlight reel — starting position, when to come
  • Adapts the outfield plan so a keeper is not training somebody else's sport
Nutritionist

Noelia Landa

Nutrition · fuelling young athletes

Builds the fuelling side of every plan. Energy scaled to age, body mass, growth stage and training load — never adult macros handed to a fourteen-year-old.

Nutrition · fuelling young athletes

Builds the fuelling side of every plan. Energy scaled to age, body mass, growth stage and training load — never adult macros handed to a fourteen-year-old.

What they do for your player
  • Writes the fuelling plan around what your player actually eats and when they actually train
  • Scales everything to age and growth stage — never adult macros on a fourteen-year-old
  • Flags when under-fuelling is what the load numbers are actually showing
College placement & recruiting

Camilo Vargas

Sports scholarship agency · Bolivia

Runs a sports scholarship agency in Bolivia, placing athletes across several sports rather than football alone. He brings that experience here and owns the college side for every player on the programme — the list, the coaches, and the follow-up.

Start with the free assessment

Thirty minutes on video. We look at where your player is, what they are aiming at, and whether those two things line up. You leave with a written assessment either way — there is no obligation and no pressure, and if we are not the right fit we will say so.
