What You Get With
The RicFit Academy:
Pillar 1: build the footballer physique
Most players train wrong. They lift like bodybuilders, burn themselves out, or pull something a week before the trial that finally mattered.
We flip that.
In the RicFit Academy, you train like a pro before anyone calls you one. The body that survives a European trial isn’t built on TikTok drills. It’s built on a plan.
What that gets you:
- Become the fastest, strongest, most explosive player on the pitch. Not “improved.” Faster than the guy marking you.
- Stay off the treatment table. Know when to train and when to back off, so injury, burnout, and overtraining stop stealing your prime years.
- A real gym and nutrition plan from our Strength & Conditioning team, so you stop trusting random YouTubers and know exactly what every session is for.
- A meal plan built for you, adjusted as you go, so your body has fuel to perform instead of running on whatever’s in the fridge.
And you’re not doing it alone. Live group calls, 5 to 10 times a week, with the people who actually decide careers:
- FIFA-licensed agents
- UEFA Pro-licensed coaches
- MLS scouts
- Sports psychologists
- Language teachers
Outcome: You walk into every trial sharp, confident, and game-ready. Not hoping you’re ready. Knowing it.
Pillar 2: Build Remote Income
The number one reason players hang up the boots isn’t talent. It’s money.
You’re pulling 10-hour warehouse shifts. Pizza runs. Construction. By the time you train, you’re already drained. And you can’t fly out for a trial when you can’t afford the flight.
That’s why I built this pillar. Without it, you quit too soon. And the only way to make it is to stay on the pitch.
Football is an endurance sport. On and off it.
What we do:
- Install a remote income stream that funds your career, so you’re earning while you train full-time instead of burning out before you ever step on the pitch.
- Set you up to work from anywhere, so football comes first and your job bends around it, not the other way around.
- Get you to where you can live, travel, and chase the contract without the money stress sitting on your chest every night.
Outcome: You stop surviving and start building. Football comes first, because the bills are handled.
Pillar 3: Secure Real Trials:
98% of players never get a direct trial. So they throw money at combines: 200 guys fighting over one spot, a coach who forgets your name by lunch.
We don’t do that.
Here’s how a RicFit trial actually works:
- The match is pinpoint, not a spray. When a club request comes in, I check it against your position, your level, and your passport. If it doesn’t fit, you don’t go. Simple as that.
- Every connection is direct to us. Not a third party. Not some random website. We know the sporting director, the scout, or the coach personally. We put your profile in front of the decision-maker, and they tell us straight if it fits.
- The club sees you before you ever fly out. They get your highlight reel and your CV. Then we jump on a Zoom, usually with you on the call, so everyone knows exactly what they’re getting. No surprises on either side.
- You train inside the club. With the real squad. Not an international academy full of other foreigners. Not an open trial. You’re picked up by a staff member, taken to your accommodation, and you train with the actual domestic players for 7 to 14 days. A real trial. With a real club.
That’s the difference. Everyone else sells “opportunity.” We put your name in front of the person who signs the checks.
Outcome: A clear path from overlooked to pro contract. You show up prepared, in the right room, at the right time.
About me
Who is RicFit?
Eric Friedander is a FIFA Licensed Agent (#202507-10431), founder of RicFit, former professional footballer, and former General Manager of FK Metta.
Spent 11 years playing across five countries, competing in different football cultures, systems, and environments.
Before that journey ended, football had already taught him the lessons that would shape the rest of his life: discipline, resilience, patience, and the ability to keep moving forward when nobody was watching.
After retiring from professional football, he became General Manager of FK Metta, one of the Baltic region’s most respected player-development clubs.
Built around youth development, Metta has established a reputation for producing and developing players who have gone on to top European environments, including Parma, Spezia, RB Leipzig, Empoli, Rapid Wien, Atlético Madrid B, and senior national teams.
The club has helped develop players such as Dario Šits (Parma), Raimonds Krollis (Spezia), Kristaps Grabovskis (RB Leipzig and Rapid Wien), and Dmitrijs Zelenkovs (Empoli), reinforcing its position as one of the region’s leading talent-development organizations.
Throughout his career, he’s seen both sides of the game: the player fighting for opportunities and the decision-maker responsible for identifying talent.
He knows what it feels like to be overlooked. He also knows exactly what separates the players who eventually break through from the thousands who never do.
That’s why he built RicFit.
RicFit exists to give ambitious footballers the complete system he wishes he had earlier in his career; elite performance development, professional career strategy, industry connections, and direct access to clubs actively recruiting players.
His mission is simple: help overlooked players become impossible to ignore.
