To understand Vasco Da Lor, you have to go back in time

Back to a quiet kitchen table where lessons were taught without words.

Back to long walks, quiet strength, and the kind of love that never rushed.

FOUNDER | DIRECTOR

Roger Teixeira

“Vasco is my father. A man of discipline, direction, and deep integrity. Lorna is my mother. A woman of grace, stillness, and presence.

Together, they built a home not through speed, but through rhythm. Not through control, but through care. Their lives taught me what football often forgets:

Slow is Fast.

Together is Strong. Family is Everything.”

  • Know your values. Tie your laces with intention.

  • Anticipate. See before you move.

  • Repeat until it becomes art. Discipline with soul.

  • Move with grace, not ego. Lead with presence.

Learning System

  • Inner check-in —“Who am I today?”

  • - Element:
    - Mental Discipline
    - Technical Rhythm
    - Tactical Vision
    - Psychological Grounding

  • One concept per week, same drill through emotional states

  • Reflection, journaling, co-designed sessions

Development Philosophy

  • Every player at Vasco Da Lor brings a new rhythm, a new voice, a new legacy.

    What are we teaching? The most unique game ever created — a game played with your feet but lived through your heart.

Coach’s Role

  • We coach with vision, not volume.

    Implementation Notes:

    • Use constraints that guide thinking

    • Design environments that sharpen decisions

    • Build silence into sessions for reflection

At Vasco Da Lor, we don’t race to results. We build something that lasts with soul, structure, and story.

Football is our language, but love is our foundation. We don’t just train players. We raise people. People who listen before they lead, reflect before they react, and understand that greatness is not in the spotlight but in the shadow work no one sees.

This is where tone matters. Where presence speaks louder than volume. Where growth is patient, honest, and shared.
