Our Unique & Controversial Football Trials Approach
Recruitment Process
Our bread and butter is recruitment.
We do our hardest, yet we make mistakes.
That is the core of recruitment: it isn't about always being right, but about being less and less incorrect.
Because there are so many factors, it's impossible to be 100 percent confident when signing a player, but it's our responsibility to reduce risk.
Our new strategy to recruiting is both national and international.
We use our trial events to sign professional contracts with overseas players rather than recruiting players locally.
Our purpose is to provide footballers who can generate or score goals through our football tryouts.
We want for innovative sportsmen with strong character who are eager to play football and willing to make significant personal sacrifices.
The Challenges
When shifting from junior or academy to senior professional football, you will face a variety of hurdles, such as playing in different positions.
On and off the field, these strains relate to athletic, social, psychological, organizational, and environmental issues.
This emphasizes how difficult it is for young footballers to get to the promised land of top football.
Amateurism and romanticism have no place in our world. You should be a world-class performer who is compensated based on your performance, the public's attraction to you, and the value you can provide.
True skill is earned through work, sacrifice, and honest, often painful self-evaluation.
There are no shortcuts available.
It will take you at least a decade to achieve expertise, and you will need to make the most of that time by doing things that are beyond your current level of skill and comfort (deliberate practice).
It includes making significant, precise, and long-term efforts to perform something you can't do well—or at all.
Practice deliberately but also think deliberately
Goal Is Expensive
We hear the same words every year in pre-season:
"The goal is costly. It is impossible to prepare players for it. You either have it or you don't.
You must pay for it if you do not have it ".
While this statement is straightforward - as are most essential things in our lives - it also contains a harsh reality.
It's something to keep in mind on each trial day.
This is exactly what a football director or coach wants and is ready to pay for.
As a firm, we already know that multiple detailed analyses show a strong link between a club's revenue and its on-field performance.
However, there is evidence of a robust link between salary expenditure and performance.
Remember the association between your performance and club revenue the next time you ask us to represent you and start a negotiation with an interested club.
Also, keep in mind that contracts are based on your performance. Your performance is earning contracts. Not we.
Your contract can have a "decent salary" or "the square root of zero".
Our Agenda
Our work's hidden objective is to identify promising young footballers and offer them with a reliable - albeit difficult - path to follow.
To provide our associated clubs with a competitive advantage by creating a talent pool of high-potential and high-performing footballers through a secure trial pathway.
We are better than our competitors at spotting the best footballers.
How?
By identifying alternate, inventive, and less expensive "channels" for early identification of promising athletes with the potential to excel in football, such as football trials.
Partner clubs... can afford to make smaller investments in development and training programs, giving them a competitive advantage.
International footballers... who are looking to break into the professional game can take advantage of our football trials in Greece and follow a safe path to the top.
It is up to the clubs and the players to take this well-worn path and succeed.
I am confident that by identifying prospective players early, exposing them to many clubs, and properly investing in their development, I will be able to select the cream of the crop of footballers who will power our company's future success.
In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of science-based support systems that provide a more comprehensive approach to the challenging process of football talent discovery.
As a result, we use a multidisciplinary, comprehensive approach to predicting or identifying future elite players.
We are using scientific facts to guide player selection and recruiting, rather than coaches' subjective preconceived notions of the ideal player, which leads to repeated misjudgments in player identification processes and a lack of consistency.
If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.
