      I'm only a few mins in, and where he says his son wants to play in World Cup in 2030... I just cringed. The guy is putting way too much expectations on just a little kid. It is so sad to see.

    So people at Palace think Jessie is unworth to be at academy because of his height, and by this rule or way of thinking, would dismiss Messi from their young development! Now we understand why La Masia is what it is, and other academies now one know their proper names ...

      Not really. I don't see anything here that I haven't seen in the US. The main thing though is that CP is probably free, whereas here it would not be free (at U8-U11 at least, because there are no MLS acadmies at those ages)

      If you are there for free then you are beholden to them. Which is fine when older, but not at age 8 or 10. I am kinda glad we don't have that system here. The Pro academies here start at U13, which I think is good.
      Most kids here play other sports too, which I think is good for ages 4-12.

    I actually find this environment quite toxic; it’s a microcosm of the EPL’s excess. 8 year old kids talking about G-Wagons, Bugattis, buying houses; signing days dressed up like they’re pros. The club and parents encourage and enable this toxic behaviour.

    I was wondering why the England men national team haven't won any title since 1966. After this video, I have got a good idea. The 8yo was talking about scoring winners. And training seems more focus on physicality. Where's the ball skill, ball control and passing vision and technique that makes the Germans, Spanish, French, Italy, Brazil, Argentina champions again and time again. Many of the kids here just don't have the balance, coordination or athleticism, I'm afraid.

    I hope all those parents realize that each human has their own gift and limitation. So they won't force and quickly change their kids life target when they realize their kids: not good in motoric, awareness, and other things that cannot be trained. And it will only take one year to find out. They only need to be honest. and it's not the kids fault. If anything it is the parents genetic fault in the first place, right.
    I remember one of my childhood friends who was really gifted with motoric skills. He was just good in any kids play or game. Including football. We used to play 3 vs 1 kind of rondo football against him LOL, and we the 3 lost LOLOL. He just toyed with us and laughing. He was that good. Too bad he died young. Anyway, there are things that cannot be taught or trained. Be honest and be fair to your kids.

    This is all wrong. Little kids should not feel pressure on a football pitch, from coaches or parents. They should be enjoying it. All these signing day things. Ridiculous. This is all not positive role models and behaviour, shown to them. It encourages traits of a not well rounded person. Working hard, time keeping etc, is fine. Getting too much too soon. Kids don't even clean senior players boots or anything. Ask players who did this, as apprentices, and they'll say they got a good grounding, and didn't get above themselves. What I'm seeing here is just a toxic environment

    Putting kids aged 8-14 in such a high pressure atmosphere is abusive, and don't try to justify it by saying the kids want it. They are too young to know what they are getting into. The parents, on the other hand, should know. My son was a good competitive baseball player. I coached his teams in little league and pony league. He went on to play in high school and college. Didn't make it past that, and it was all a good experience. I would have never put him in one of these types of programs even if he was invited. Very few of even the most highly-touted young players will ever make big money, less than 5%. Many kids get scarred for life by the toxic environment.
