“I have had the opportunity to meet with professional club executives, association bosses, coaches to top agents, and scouts and asked them some important questions such as:
What do you look out for in a player?
What is your longest attention span when watching aprofile?
What do you wish to see?
Does a player's location matter?
Why does the value of European players increase as they grow older but not the same for the African Grown?
What role do you think the internet will play in recruiting players in the future?
The answer to this and many will be uncovered in this book.”
