Chris Green’s latest book tells the story of the 10,000 boys in the Academy system in England, and particular of the 9,990 who will never make it as professional footballers.
Through interviews with all the leading stakeholders in the modern professional game, Chris Green delivers a detailed analysis of the current system and exposes it’s dramatic failings – both in delivering world-class players to the clubs and in protecting the children and parents who are desperate to follow their dreams.
I had the opportunity to talk to Chris about the book and asked him what grassroots coaches and parents can do to ensure their talented young players are as well prepared as possible for entering (and possibly exiting) the Academy system.
