Born from the sidelines and crafted through deep expertise, MAP Performance Grip Socks represent the fusion of elite coaching knowledge and athletic innovation. Founded by Marcus Laquie, a UEFA A Licensed coach whose journey spans the complete spectrum of soccer development – from grassroots to professional academies, and from youth development to senior professional football across both men’s and women’s games.
The MAP Performance vision emerges from a unique blend of practical experience and academic excellence. Our founder’s path includes coaching at Toronto FC Academy, technical direction of youth development programs, and current roles with Gartcairn Women’s FC and University of Stirling Men’s Team. This diverse exposure is enriched by advanced academic credentials: an MSc in Advanced Performance Football Coaching and ongoing studies in Sports Psychology, bringing scientific rigor to athletic innovation.While working across different levels of the game – from developing youth talents at AFC Southampton Academy to coaching in the Scottish Women’s Premier League – our founder observed that athletes at every level shared common needs for performance enhancement. This insight led to the creation of MAP Performance Grip Socks, developed through collaboration with players across all levels of the game.
