The DARK SIDE Of Academy Football | Luca Albon | Beyond Football Podcast

In this fourth episode of the beyond football podcast Daniel Jinadu speaks with former Charlton Academy Footballer Luca Albon on his journey of being in the football academy from a young age. He gives us an insight into the highs and lows of his journey such as big injuries as well as getting an England International call up playing with the likes of players such as Mason Greenwood. We also get into what its like to be released by a football academy and how the COVID 19 Pandemic has made it difficult for boys who've been released to get a new club.
We explore the question 'Why do boys struggle to make something of themselves once they've been released from an academy?'

The Beyond Football Podcast was created by me (Daniel Jinadu) to give people an insight into the journeys of young footballers. The struggles and successes. Also to raise awareness of the importance of having an identity Beyond Football. This is as a result of the unfortunate events of young players taking their lives in the past after being released from a club.

I’m a former royal marine commando, I’ve had brilliant highs and super lows . I’ve had injuries, lost friends, left the military into a world I don’t know and I’ve got my own small business window cleaning etc and a little family . I say all this because when the fog clears on these mega down times there is light and lots of it. One day at a time and look outside the box . I do think a team in the football league of ex academy players would be a great idea if someone started one. Stay strong people

There are dark sides to academy football but there are also many positives and benefits that come with it. It’s just important to ensure that your son has an identity Beyond Football 🙌🏾
