Our Mission

Our MissionOur MissionOur Mission
We believe that a strong and healthy culture leads to positive results during the course of a season. Individual and collective team behaviors, values, standards and expectations are the foundation of any healthy culture.  

Our mission is to use our collective experiences and skill sets to assist coaches in the establishment and reinforcement of their unique culture,  while providing athletes the tools to succeed in the various challenges facing today's student-athletes.

Every program and each individual are different. We work with coaches and programs to help grow and influence their culture while meeting each group in their unique environment.

Areas of focus may include:
  • Building culture through shared values
  • Daily habits that influence a healthy team culture
  • Controlling the controllables
  • Responding to adversity 
  • Elevating the daily training environment
  • Celebration of the unique individual
  • Building relationships and empathy
** Unlike traditional camps and clinics, our process begins in the Winter and carries through the competitive season, offering support and celebration of each program. 

Our principles are driven by our own experiences as professional coaches paired with the readings and research of; Simon Sinek, Brene Brown, Daniel Abrahams, James Clear, Gary Vaynerchuck.

Coaches Testimonials

Erin Edmonds

 "Lindsay Basalyga has a stronger soccer resume than most in this area. From pedigree, to playing, coaching, and education she's at the top. Yet she still understands the value of high school soccer! Never is there a tweet or conversation saying "you should be doing this or you should change that". Because of this approach, she impacts players, coaches, and total programs. I've personally learned so much because I don't ever feel inferior. She comes into the program vulnerable, humble, and gracious while opening herself up which allows us all to learn from her knowledge and experience. Most high school coaches have other career, so we don't have the time to build the resume we would all love to have. Having mentors, like Lindsay, gives us all confidence to grow.

 "We have been with Competitive Edge from their beginning, and I cannot think of anything we could bring in over the summer that would be better for our team culture. I like their camp because it goes beyond x's and o's and technical training. That's all part of it, but what they teach and preach and celebrate extends to life off the pitch as well: overcoming adversity, teamwork, decision making, and above all competing for and with each other. The coaches at Competitive Edge follow up and check-in throughout the season so it becomes more than just a week of camp over the summer. It is part of who we are and what we do. It is all tailored to our program and our culture because their coaches take the time to get to know our players and our coaches before, during, and after the camp. Simply put, we are a better program, players and coaches alike, because of our work with Competitive Edge."

 Competitive Edge has redefined and heightened the importance of culture in high school soccer. Lindsay Basalyga's partnership, vulnerability, and active pursuit to always prioritize the human element makes the experience with Competitive Edge world-class. I have always viewed Leadership as a scope of influence and the influence of culture she has on the game of soccer in Ohio is unmatched. Our future success will always be contributed to our progression to reach an elite culture and I know Competitive Edge will play an integral role in that journey. I am thankful for the friendship that I gained through our collaboration!
