If your child’s footballing talents have already been spotted, you may
be finding the world of Football Academies and Centres of Excellence
a complete minefield. If you’re new to the game, it can all seem
confusing, controlling - and vigorously competitive.
With Mark’s independent advice and support, you can ensure that your
child makes the most of their precious time at the Academy and is
set on the right track for the future.
And Mark certainly knows what he’s talking about!
He’s worked in virtually every position within Football
Academies and Centres of Excellence, and launched his
own Mark Fogarty’s Soccer Academy in 1996.
This emulated, as closely as possible, a
professional football club academy in a
private environment. After attending
Mark’s Academy, schoolboy players
went on to achieve professional
status and international honours.
As an Independent Sports Consultant Mark will
offer independent, unbiased advice on:
- how Academy contracts work and what you’re committed to.
- how the Academy could further support your child based on their strengths
and weaknesses.
- the general rules and regulations of the Academy so that any frustrations and
problems can be resolved more easily.
- any issues or areas of concern you have so that any gaps in your knowledge
are filled.
Maximise the benefits of the Academy by:
- identifying how many hours are being invested in your child and how you can
support this.
- observing your child in action and providing valuable feedback.
- supplementing the Academy’s work to ensure your child gains more hours
of contact.
- drawing up a report and action plan outlining how the Academy could
support your child’s weaknesses.
- offering coaching in areas where your child needs additional support.
- advising on the next step for your child, such as reputable agents.
Create tailor-made programmes including:
- life coaching programme to maximise your child’s potential.
- a personal training programme, focusing on technical skills or specific areas
of fitness.
- a healthy lifestyle programme including nutrition, fitness and medical advice.
