[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those idealizing the European academy system: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/06/football-biggest-issue-boys-rejected-academies Considering the odds, not being able to send our kids to Europe at a young age may be a blessing in disguise... [/quote] So glad you posted this, there was also another article about a group of boys who after being rejected by the UK academies at a young age, their father's decided to take a risk on a separate private training program that would have them playing tournaments in France with the idea that would be scouted and have another chance. It was very eye-opening as I too was one of the people who assumed all academy players were awesome and were on a path to guaranteed contracts, playing time, rich and fame. Clearly I was being naive about the prospects but also thought that parents chasing a dream was an American experience. Once I do find it, I will share it here.[/quote]
