S'il Vous Plaît
Building Elite Soccer Habits Through Engaging Stories
About S'il Vous Plaît
S'il Vous Plaît is a youth soccer development publisher dedicated to creating high-quality children's books that teach young athletes the mental and technical skills needed to excel on the pitch. Our flagship series, Mylo's Blind Spot, follows a determined lion cub as he learns essential soccer fundamentals through engaging storytelling. Written by Philippe Jean-Mignon II, a former FC Lake County player and experienced youth soccer coach, our books draw from authentic Eurocentric soccer experience and proven training methodologies used by elite academies like La Masia.
Each book in the Mylo series acts as a foundation for developing elite habits early, teaching young players how to think, see, and play the game with purpose. Our mission is to help young athletes become more efficient and impactful on the field by mastering spatial awareness, quick decision-making, and intelligent positioning—the same habits that produced soccer legends like Xavi, Busquets, and Messi. Through our carefully crafted narratives, we bridge the gap between entertainment and elite-level soccer development.
