ROADMAP

Put that someday
in the order of age.

How old you will be, where, in what role, and what you will have left behind. You line them all up yourself into one road. If how you feel or where you are changes while you run it, you can redraw it as many times as you like. The old road never disappears.

THE PROBLEM

“A pro, someday” alone
does not decide next year.

You can name the destination, but the road to it usually only exists in your head. How old you will be, where, and what you need to have left behind to move on. Unless you write it down, next year’s choices — and the way back when you get lost — get decided by whatever you feel that day. The roadmap is the screen where you line that road up in the order of age and keep it ready to be redrawn.

Build the roadTHE DESK

At what age, where, what you leave.

On the design desk you line the milestones up from the top. Each one holds an age, a category, a role, a one-line title and the results you want to leave. Use ↑↓ to change the order you pass through, and the bin to remove one. When it feels right, you save it as a version. The first time, three answers — where you are, where you are going and the way through — are enough to start running.

The design desk in NEWDIH APP. From the top: age 15 “Be at the centre of a prefectural quarter-final” (junior high, key player), age 16 “Make the bench in my first year” (high school, in the squad), age 17 “Take a starting place in two years” (high school, starter), age 18 “Play the national championship and score” (high school, main striker), age 19 “Turn pro straight from high school” (J3, in the squad). Each row has up and down buttons to reorder it and a bin to delete it, and the top right reads “Current version: v2”.
You decide the order you pass through. Nothing is re-sorted by age for you.

Run the roadTHE JOURNEY

Only the next one is shown large.

Once you save a version, the screen becomes your live plan. Your current club, your current age and your dream club sit at the top; the next milestone is the only one shown large, and after that come up to three more. The rest are folded away. Only when less than a year is left does the dashboard say anything. There is no permanent card.

The live plan in NEWDIH APP. Along the top: current club NEWDIH FC Junior Youth, current age 15, dream club a first-division European club. Under “Next milestone”, age 16 / 2027 “Make the bench in my first year” (high school, in the squad) is shown large on its own with “1 year left” and the result to leave, “on the bench for 10 official matches”. Below it, “After that” continues with age 17 / 2028 “Take a starting place in two years”.
Only the next one is large. What comes after comes after.

See the whole roadTHE TIMELINE

So far and from here, on one line.

The clubs you have belonged to, where you are now, and the milestones still ahead all join up on the same single line. The axis is your actual age, counted from your birthday — not your school year. Past and future are not kept on separate screens, so “how many years until where I want to be” is readable at one scale.

The life timeline in NEWDIH APP. Under “So far”: Minamidai Kickers 2018-04 to 2021-03, Nakano Minami Soccer Club 2021-04 to 2024-03, NEWDIH FC Junior Youth 2024-04 to current. A “Now” band crosses the middle. Under “From here”, age 15 / 2026 “Be at the centre of a prefectural quarter-final”, age 16 / 2027 “Make the bench in my first year”, age 17 / 2028 “Take a starting place in two years” and age 18 / 2029 “Play the national championship and score” run down a vertical line, each tagged with the results to leave.
Past and future are not put on separate screens.

Redraw the roadTHE VERSIONS

Redraw it, and the old road stays.

An injury, a transfer, an assessment, how you feel, your surroundings. When you want to rebuild it, you pick what happened and dig into why you decided that, up to three levels deep. What changed (added, removed, edited, reordered) is written for you, so all you write is the reason. The old version stays in the history exactly as it was. You can also leave the reason as one entry in Soccer Note (optional).

The version history in NEWDIH APP. Version 2 carries the tag “Current version”, 7 milestones and the date 2026/07/29, under the title “The turn-pro-from-high-school version”. Under “What happened” it says the assessment changed; under “Why you decided that”, three numbered levels of reasoning; under “What changed”, added 3 / removed 2 / edited 1 with a link to see the breakdown. Below it, version 1 “The go-through-university version” is still there.
What stays in the history is not the decision, but the reason.

Who can see itWHO CAN SEE

Only you can see it.

This plan is about where you are heading, and also about what did not work out. So the default is “only me”. Whether to share it with a guardian is your call too.

From today, 3 steps.

STEP 01

Write where you are and where you are going

Your current club and age, and your dream club. Those two are enough to open the design desk.

STEP 02

Line the road up and save it as a version

At what age, where, in what role, and what you leave behind. Order them from the top, and save when it feels right.

STEP 03

When things change, leave the reason and redraw

An injury, or an assessment that changed. Leave what happened and why you decided, then line them up again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q01Does it cost anything?

No. The roadmap is a personal feature and it is free. It has nothing to do with which modules your club subscribes to. Note that this is a player-stage screen: switch your stage to player and it sits under Personal data in the sidebar.

Q02What happens if my destination changes?

You rebuild it. Pick what happened from eight triggers, write why you decided that up to three levels deep, and save — a new version starts running. The old version stays in the history, so you can read back what you were thinking at the time.

Q03Am I blamed for a milestone I did not reach?

“Did not reach” and “changed course” are never measured as early or late. Only milestones you achieved carry whether it went to plan or how many years it took. No delay is shown on a milestone you did not reach.

Q04How much can a guardian see?

Only when you switch sharing on yourself: the milestones and the progress. “Why you pass through here” and your reasons for rebuilding are not shared. Sharing is possible up to U-15 by school-year age, and ends automatically at U-16.

Q05How many milestones can I place?

Up to 40 per version. Each milestone carries up to 20 results to leave. Categories run from primary school to the senior national team and life after retirement — 16 of them — and roles run from being in the squad to coach or manager, 8 in all.

Q06If I close it halfway through, is it gone?

No. A plan in progress is kept as it is, so you can write on your phone and finish on a PC. The moment you save it as a version, the draft is cleared away.

Start by drawing just one.

Creating an account is free. Your current club, and where you want to go. Those two are enough to start.
