What Non-Academy Players can do to Play Professional Football

The journey to pro football isn’t linear, it’s not a constant upwards trajectory. It’s filled with ups and downs, moments of joy, moments of disappointment, which ultimately means that no two journeys are ever the same.
But despite that, what it takes to get there, and what most players have done to reach those levels are the same. Which is why in this video we’ve laid out the blueprint of what non-academy players can do to excel their game to the next level and hopefully sign that first professional contract. With detail on mentality, body conditioning, your performance on the pitch and how you can land opportunities.
And if you’ve taken something valuable out of this video but want even more, then download the Train Effective app, where you can access 100’s of individual drills, mentality masterclasses led by Rio Ferdinand, tactical courses and so much more!

Thanks to Train Effective for another great video to help me believe more that i too can make it pro like my idol Ronaldo

[@FunHunt]

I'm doing the last advice in this video, aiming to UK for scholarship for better chances without neglecting my training. Thank U sir !

[@LamboCc]

A very interesting video, indeed. Although, the problem with my location (Crete, Greece) is that there are just three or four good academies here, leading to only three players making it pro in the last decades. I'm on my local town's u14 (well, u12 since most of my previous teammates are in high school and have left the team) and the main team is in the 4th division (local), and sometimes 3rd. We barely have 15 members and the worst is that u12 is the oldest age group in the academies, not even u16, since the main team needs players. I'm a LW/CAM keen to play other positions (except striker) and I hope I can sometime make my dream true, even though it seems pretty unlikely.

Good luck

[@jamesroberts3189]

Thank you for the information. Great video. My son is 9 years old and all he does is play football (soccer). Question, we're located in the USA and are taking part in the Barcelona Academy when they come here. Do you see value in doing that? Thanks again.

[@eternal7782]

if your son wants to go pro, find an academy that is based where you are, not one that comes from time to time (but still bring him there so that if he's good barca for example take him)

In which social media platform do i create my football CV

[@Master_Chip_]

i cant seem to find a good team to develop in and my coaches dont really know what there doing. we are bottom of the worst league and i know i deserve to play in a better team. i have been stuck in the team being one of the best players with 23 assists half way through the season. can anyone give me any advise pls?

I'm 16 and never touched a ball do you think I should start or is it too late? I honestly prefer asking someone like you than train effective

[@uchegbulamnkiru9497]

@@EnemelonsOfficial well you've gotta work hard cuz you're in a competition with children that started since they were 6 years old, also join a very good team soe you can improve fast, I mean fast as fuck, try complete training for like 2 years straight since you've never touched the ball before, and if you know anyone that is a beast in football in your area, follow him and learn everything you can. And I'll see you in the premier League
