[quote=Anonymous]From Michael Calvin, author of "No Hunger in Paradise: The Hunger. The Journey. The Dream" who wrote about the incredible odds against a youth player in England ever going pro: "Out of all the boys who enter an academy at the age of 9, less than half of 1% make it. Or make a living from the game either. The most damning statistic of all is only 180 of the 1.5 million players who are playing organized youth football in England at any one time will make it as a Premier League pro. That's a success rate of 0.012%. Pretty much the sort of chances of you being hit by a meteorite on your way home." [/quote]
