Spotting talent is a skill. It’s not easy to identify potential young players who can progress further in the game.

This course designed to build on the foundations you'll have developed on the Introduction to Talent Identification in Football, as well as from further learning you have done, to help increase your ability to recognise talent in the game.

You’ll be introduced to the key principles of scouting, including match reporting, how you build and develop relationships, and how to analyse performance against potential.

You'll also be introduced to more sophisticated scouting strategies and how to effectively manage the talent identification environment at your club.
