There are hundreds of books about football scouting and recruitment.

(Here are the 6 you actually need to read)

I've read dozens of books on football analysis and talent identification.

Most focus on theory, these deliver real value to aspiring and new scouts.

A new challenge awaits.
A great opportunity to work with world class players and good people in a culture of unity, with leadership driven by people first values. I’m very excited to see what we can achieve together!!

Please see the link to the National Goalkeeping Courses via England Football Learning. It’s an additional 1day course following attendance of the UEFA C licence, and is a great way to obtain additional knowledge, to support your goalkeepers at any level. https://t.co/F6bqmE6HHo

“That’s the way we’ve always done it” is not a justification. It’s a lazy excuse for failing to evolve.

Blind faith in traditions makes us prisoners of the past. Routines should be based on present value and future potential.

A key to new growth is questioning old habits.

@guins1 @CarltonCole1 Love this!
