Don’t Allow Your To Child Get Rejected By Soccer Academy Coaches
Just Because You Didn’t Know These Simple Facts…
Children are being cherry picked for academies right now as we speak. Your child may be one of those chosen or a possible contender and have a really bright future ahead.
But statistics show that only one per cent will have any chance of actually making it through to schools of excellence and on to the professional game.
And what happens to those players that are dropped like a disused napkin into the rejection pile of countless hopefuls that were simply not “good enough”?
Some do bounce back and prove those coaches who dropped them wrong.
That’s special.
Unfortunately the vast majority never recover and their self esteem and confidence is left shattered, broken into tiny pieces that parents struggle, sometimes for many years, to try and rebuild.
It’s a very tough thing for anyone, let alone your child, to accept and be forced to believe that they’re simply not good enough to achieve their dream.
Ask yourself this…

Over the weekend, a freinds father sadly passed away. I didn’t real know him, but I knew his kids pretty well and we all grew up on the same street. His father was a young, fit and healthy 65 years old and used to fix cookers - lugging them from peoples homes and back again.

As you know I’m a firm believer that the buck starts and stops with us in developing the bright new talent that will support and grow football and every level of the game - from park to premeir league and beyond.
The article I referred to is from the top dogs at Sport England - the government set body that is tasked with supporting sports at all levels - from schools to clubs, within England.

Endurance Workouts
All exercises are dependant on age and experience – if you are under 10 then simply running around
doing what under 10’s do is enough workout for younger bodies.
Youth and Senior aged players – 14+ should be concentrating on more soccer specific exercises
to help build all muscle groups to be able to cope with the stresses and strains of the game.
