Episode Notes

In this episode of the Global Soccer Education podcast, I talk to one of the best young scouts in English soccer, Tom Reeves.

Tom is the Lead Domestic and European Scout at Norwich City FC and previously worked at Burnley FC as an Academy Scout.

Having made the switch from grassroots coaching to professional scouting, Tom shares the challenges he experienced in his journey from youth soccer to working in the senior game.

Here are 3 things you’ll learn in this episode:

  1. Why being adaptable can help you get noticed in your soccer career
  2. How to structure soccer coaching programs in order to be competitive against bigger clubs
  3. The importance of learning from people who have walked your path before you
