ABOUT PROJECT ZERO
Project Zero was founded by Former Team Canada & Toronto FC pro Derick Sequeira. In 2016 at the peak of his career, he sustained a career ending knee injury tearing his MCL, PCL & meniscus. Derick was forced out of football and transitioned into business.
He has helped over 125+ small businesses scale past 6, 7 & 8-figures through his parent company Future In Media.
Project Zero was created to give players 2 pathways:
Pathway #1: Pro football
Pathway #2: Building an empire through business
Which one is for you?
At Project Zero, we help you do both.
Elevated performance
You are unique position, body, schedule, goals. Your plan must be unique too.
Project Zero builds personalized pro protocols across training, tactics, strength, recovery, nutrition, mindset, and off-field skills. We combine position plans, daily targets, film analysis, and data tracking to create a path that fits YOU.
We exist to get the results you’ve always wanted real, lasting, measurable. Built on what works at the top level and tailored to everything that makes you unique.

WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL?
DEFINTION
"engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime"
YES OR YES
Effort Won’t Get You Signed. A System Will.
You can train every day and still go nowhere. That’s the uncomfortable truth. Because training hard isn’t a plan — it’s just motion.
What actually gets you signed is a sequence. A system. A repeatable process that creates attention, turns attention into opportunities, and turns opportunities into something real. And whether you realize it or not, you’re already moving through that cycle right now. The only problem is most players are doing it backwards, skipping steps, or doing the right thing at the wrong time — and then they call it “bad luck.”
The Pro Contract System is how we remove luck from the equation. We map you to the exact phase you’re in, fix what’s leaking, and build the next step so you keep progressing. That’s how pros move. That’s how they stop guessing. That’s how they separate from the pack.
STILL THINKING?
Frequently Asked
Questions
Who is Project Zero for?
Project Zero is for serious youth footballers (typically 10–18) and their parents who want a clear pathway to:
- play at a higher level
- earn scholarships
- Pursue pro opportunities (Canada/US/Europe)
If you’re coachable, consistent, and willing to work,you’ll fit in.
What makes Project Zero different from other academies?
Most academies sell training. We build a pathway system:
- Development (training that translates to match performance)
- Accountability (structure, targets, and progress tracking)
- Exposure (video + positioning + scouting opportunities)
- Mentorship (how pros think, prepare, recover, and compete)
You’re not just training. You’re building a career plan.
Do you work with beginners?
We can, but Project Zero is best for players who already love the game and want to take it seriously. If a player is brand new, we usually recommend a foundation phase first, then moving into the full pathway.
What age do players need to be to start?
Most players start between 10–18, but if a younger player is advanced and very committed, we can assess and guide the right entry point.
Is this only for players in Ontario/Toronto?
No. We have:
- online programs for players anywhere
- in-person training for local players (Toronto/Vaughan area)
- exposure guidance for both online + local athletes
What exactly do players get inside the online programs?
Depending on the program, players can get:
- structured weekly training plans
- position-based targets
- nutrition + recovery guidelines
- mindset + habits system
- KPI tracking (so improvement is measurable)
- coaching feedback options (if included)
What do your in-person sessions focus on?
We focus on what translates to real matches:
- first touch under pressure
- speed of play + decision-making
- confidence in 1v1s
- finishing + end product
- athletic development habits
- pro-level intensity + standards
Do you guarantee a pro contract or scholarship?
No one can honestly guarantee a contract. There are too many variables (injuries, club politics, timing, eligibility, etc.).
What we do guarantee is this: If you follow the system, you will improve. And you’ll have a real plan for exposure, not guesswork.
How does the scouting / exposure part work?
Exposure isn’t magic. It’s strategy. We help with:
- positioning: what level fits your current performance
- creating a player profile (video + key info)
- understanding what scouts look for
- identifying exposure opportunities (trials, contacts, showcases)
- preparing properly so you actually perform when it counts
Important: exposure depends on performance and readiness. We don’t “sell dreams.” We build the player first.
How do we join Project Zero?
You’ll typically start with:
- selecting the best entry program (online / in-person / combined)
- completing registration
- receiving your pathway plan + next steps
If you’re unsure which path fits, start with the easiest step: book an assessment / consult
