Beschrijving

For Episode 29 of my podcast, to coincide with the World Cup, I decided to do something different. On this episode, I chose to focus on how MLS academies in North America work. The MLS is more than a league with teams. The MLS is a Franchiser that owns all the teams in the MLS. All the teams in the MLS are called franchises. They are all franchises of the MLS. There are no promotions or relegations. Any team (franchise) buying or selling gives a percentage of its sales to the MLS (the franchiser). On this episode, I speak to Trevor Singer, the Academy Scouting Director of DC United, which is the second most successful team (franchise) in MLS history. DC United is based in Washington DC, the capital city in the USA. Fun fact: Wayne Rooney was also once a player and Head Coach of DC United. Trevor explains how some academies in North America have over 10,000 kids in an academy, and we compare how the academy system in the MLS academy system to the system in the UK for this special World Cup Edition.

Burton Albion Academy Manager - Jack O'Brien ("Misbehaving In School Is A Red Flag") - Episode 31 Snippet""

On this episode, I’m joined by Jack O’Brien the Academy Manager of EFL League One team Burton Albion. Jack played for Burton’s academy as a youngster before he started coaching multiple age groups in the academy and eventually became the academy manager. Burton Albion’s academy also trains and plays its home matches at St George’s Park, the England National Team’s official training ground. Jack let me know in Episode 31 that misbehaving in school is a red flag, because you can’t be full of good character at the club and have negative characteristics outside the club. You’re representing the Burton Albion at all times. So having a split personality will raise some concerns and question marks around your character.
