I am a lawyer by profession and also support young football players achieve their dreams of becoming a professional football player.  I upload videos of players I support (with their consent) to get them the exposure and showcase their skills.

There is a huge number of hidden talent in the football industry and many barriers to entry. I see far too often, many ex academy players who have been released at 16 or later and get forgotten. This isn't always down to their ability but the fact UK football has a big gap in recruitment between academy and first team football. Also, while it is useful for players to good level non-league experience, this style of play does not suit players used to academy football. This can sometimes stifle football development for aspiring professional footballers.
