Early Football Journey
The Footballer Blueprint was created because too many players and parents are left guessing. From a young age, I grew up playing Saturday and Sunday league football and going on trials at professional academies without ever being properly shown how football really works or what pathways truly existed.
That lack of clarity followed me into my first major academy experience. During a six-week trial at Wolverhampton Wanderers, I was asked to sign early in the process. My first real exposure to how quickly football moves and how unprepared many families are for the reality of that environment.
