📝Adding my two cents to this topic:
"Sick of" might not be the best expression. I try to help anyone who needs help or advice - regardless of their school, club, organization, title, level - because it is the right thing to do.
At the same time, I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to reply to my messages. To be honest, there were more unread or unanswered messages than people might expect. But since I can’t control that, I don’t waste my energy or time on it...
Of course, there are levels to the amount of information I give or the energy I spend answering a request. That depends on the depth of our relationship but I always try to give at least something.
Another factor is that working for a club gives me limitations on how much I can share. Most information is internal and since the club pays me for my knowledge/expertise, it wouldn't be fair to share that same information with others for free.
However, what I am slowly becoming "sick of" is the expectation to get all the information from various scouts - whether here on X or elsewhere - for free. Many of us have spent days, weeks, months and even years following these players in our free time, out of passion without being paid for it.
I am grateful to work for an organization and getting paid for what I do, there aren't many positions like this in Europe - although I believe many organizations would need one - but many great scouts never get that opportunity.
They often offer consulting services but we run into the same problem again: clubs/schools/coaches (unfortunately) aren't willing to pay much for the services but expect all the information to be given out to them for free.
I am giving you an advice here: do your research, subscribe to a consulting service, treat it as an investment and you will see the value. It is a bargain compared to the money most organizations spend (or better said - waste) on signing the wrong players.
My NBA international scouting friends are sick of the these young college assistant coaches texting and asking if a certain international player is good enough. They get an answer & the scout doesn’t hear from them for three months. Not a way to develop relationships. 🤷🏼♂️🏀👍🏼
