@HenshawAnalysis Don’t forget to network. Get out to games. Share work on linked in. Share useful knowledge with people in the industry. Most jobs go
to a person already known to the hiring manager.

I've played 100s of matches in my life as a footballer.

But there's one period in football which taught me the most.

My time as a Academy player.

Here's 5 Lessons that I learnt during this period...

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

How time flies. Wishing both boys the very best at their new clubs Mark!!!

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

@KirstenDourish Happy returns young man!!!

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

@CoachIanCo @bedes_sport Good luck!! Enjoy the new role

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

To be an agent of a youth team player a prerequisite should be a minimum of working with young people in a non-football capacity for a substantial period of time (5-7 years) with a exemplary record of service. This would flush out those in it for a quick buck!

@sarahmo27070073 Hey Sarah, I have seen this also. I do sympathise with parents. Scouts have to be better, but they are under pressure to secure the best talent, a bit of a vicious cycle.
PL and EFL academies can be better with the communication for sure and reduce the pressure on parents

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

Spoke with a parent today, her son plays organised football 7 days a week at 5 different clubs (4 PL academies & his grassroots club) and he is an U7.

The kid was beaming, playing with a smile on his face. But I couldn’t help but think, there has to be a better way

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

@S_Marksberry Sounds wicked!!!

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

Seeing young Isaiah Brown speak about his rise in Academy football made me smile. I was always impressed by Izzy not only on the pitch but off it.

@izzyjaybrown congratulations on all you achieved in the game.

Your next steps will be fruitful!

[Izzy Jay Brown @izzyjaybrown]

Thank you football🦋💜

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

The importance of a good loan to a career can’t be understated.

Well done to the staff at Palace and Charlton, it takes two to make it work.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi nominated for EFL young player of the season. Scoring 13 goals and 6 assists in 38 games!

Well done Jesurun ⭐️

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

@S_Marksberry I definitely hear you.. I think the key differences are when we were younger it was us and our mates just going to play. Rather than being coached. Plus the travel times, parents are racking up some serious mileage and time spent in the car..

Pick up games… interesting solution

[The Academy Football Network @AcadFN]

Brilliant decision!

[Premier League @premierleague]

Premier League clubs have today collectively agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of clubs’ matchday shirts, becoming the first sports league in the UK to take such a measure voluntarily in order to reduce gambling advertising
