- How to get scouted? What do football scouts look for in young players? What can you do to get scouted to a football club? In today's Unisport Uncut episode we discuss the role of football scouts, how to get scouted and what football scouts look for in talented players. The role of a football scout might be confusing to some people out there and hopefully this video will clarify what scouts are all about. If you want to get scouted, listen to the advice in this episode and who knows, you might learn a thing or two on how to get scouted yourself! Remember, in order to become a professional footballer you need to work really hard, spend countless of hours practicing your football skills and ensure you dedicate your entire life to playing football. The advice in this video will not guarantee you will get scouted but we hope you will learn more about the process of getting scouted & what scouts are looking for in young players.
The main purpose and job of a football scout is to find and discover promising, talented and mainly young football players before anyone else does - and ultimately sign them to the club or client the scout is working for. This process is usually very difficult for the football scouts as there are so many talented footballers out there who dream of becoming professional footballers. Football scouts watch hundreds of games in order to find interesting and promising players and getting scouted is one of many ways on how you can become a professional footballer!
Some of the main thing football scouts are looking for in young players include;
- Your technical level. What kind of football skills do you have? How comfortable are you with the ball at your feet? How is your first touch? How is your shooting and passing technique? Are you comfortable playing with only one or two touches?
- Your mental strength and leadership qualities. Are you afraid of mistakes on the pitch? Are you communicating with your teammates on the pitch? Are you able to stay focused throughout the match? Can you take responsibility on the pitch?
- Your football brain and football IQ. How well can you read the game? How is your movement off the ball? How do you position yourself when defending?
... and the list goes on!

I Just Want To convince my parents....Can anybody recommend how?
I'm 15, almost 16 but I'm really trying to improve. My parents dont believe in me and I dont have much time to go play because of school. I hope one day I can be a pro footballer. I've been told I'll never make it and that I'm not good enough but I will try my hardest.
Just believ in your self.
Same here....keep it up...stay strong..
Me too I'm 16 this year and I really love football but my parents seem to make me focus on school and aim for college but that's not what i want. Sometimes I even questioned my dreams and its so sad. Hope I can be a pro someday.
They’re many players whose parents never believed in them but now they are playing in Premier League, LaLiga. Tell you what...put in the work that is needed, maybe more and you’ll be one of those players (take advantage of the school team. You might not know who’s watching). All the best man
@@muzimocah184 thx man u give me some inspiration to keep going
What scouts look for:
(Basics)
-Technique
-Football intelligence
-Work rate
(Pro level standard)
-Uniqueness
-Taking risks
-Confidence
-More determination than any other person on the pitch
-The will to learn and improve everyday
Devo exactly
You forgot attitude and self esteem. You don't want to be like balotelli (great players terrible attitude).
AG22 attitude(determination on the pitch and the will to learn everyday), self esteem(confidence). I missed nothing kiddo
Devo should have worded it a bit better then or put parenthesis.
Pl guide to my 5 year old son to be Pro footballer. He is taking training since last two year under professional coach.
If u trying to become a soccer player u have to love the game u have to feel the game is not just to play to become famous u have to love this beautiful game
R :D ❤❤
Rashed Alzghoul ✌️✌️
You have to live for the game ⚽️❤
Christopher Rodriguez yes that's right many players see the game just to make money and to be famous bat i every time love the game and play with heart
R :D yes so true I try to make it as well
My time has passed 😭 but good luck to everyone trying to make it.

Bro don't give up
Its never too late bro,many footballers like vardy,wright and drogba got scouted in their late 20s and early 30s,you just gotta keep trying.
who wants to get scouted if you do like if you dont but still want to play football comment.
Trustino112 I want to get scouted cause I play football as well
I really want to
Trustino112 I just turned 23 and I would really like to get scouted. I have so much passion for football. I would just really like someone to see me.
I want to get scouted i just turned 19 football is my passion but i hv problems on my confidence and I'm currently working on that
I really love the game and do want to get scouted I'm 16, please look at my highlights on my channel and critique it please
I'm currently 14 and I play football for my town. I train for 1 hour in my backyard every day to improve my technique, skills and strength. My goal is to play for my country.
I would invest more time, but very much luck to you
Thank you😂
Don't give up bro we still have a long way to go 😤😤
Which country
Good luck bro
I am 12 years old and I try everyday to improve. I am not in a football club because my parents can't pay for the club fees. I am from Zimbabwe, but live in South Africa. I play football almost everyday for about 4 hours a day hoping that someone will think i'm good. I try and improve in every part of the game in thought I like playing in the midfield and train in other parts of the field, like on the wings in the defense, even in the attack. I'm very good at running and dribbling with pace, have a good pass on me and can do a great slide tackle. I am not very strong and can't really do Ronaldo skills, but all the skills I know are from this channel. Even though I don't play for a club, I try to play soccer with as much people as I can at school after PE and at home with more experienced players who play or played for clubs. I hope one day play for a club somehow.
Guys I just wanna say that I'm 24 and recently I have been in Try out game and got some compliment from the coach, and he invited me for the training with the club members. So I have my chance. Just wanna make sure that I have never been coached before but so far i was training individually and played soccer with some guys from street cos My dream is being a pro player and i can sacrifice anything for Football. So, never say never and it's never late if you have a great motivation and willing to give your full potential to every training. Good luck guys, Wish you the bests
When I was 8 Leyton orient scouted me, I played there for about 3 years till they released me, I got released coz my manager had an argument with my dad over something and he reckoned that I was too small anyway, then when I was 12 charlton signed me and I’ve been their since so what I’m trying to say is that some teams are harsh on you and will let you go if your not up to standard with their requirements but some teams are easier to play for
Dhejejxndn Jeicnfnrj how did you get into charlton? Scouted or trials?
Scout
Dhejejxndn Jeicnfnrj Are you 12 rn?
Nice
How old are u and when will they do u14/u15 trials
You have to play in a succesful, well known amateur team.
No scout will come to a small village looking for diamonds in the mud.
Tea Kay psg sent a scout to the unknown village that salah came from.
I live in a village and well known amateur team scouted my friend but he refused bcs hes parents cant drive him there
TRAP LIFE no offense but I wanna rock your friend in the face 😂😂
they get more money from better players, would they pick a rubbish Brazilian or a great African player.
Go tell that to Salah and Mane
I'm just playing because I love football but I'd like to make a living out of it I got scouted a few weeks ago and already did my trial. Just waiting for the result yo come out
i have no name good luck 👍🏼🍀
Zuhayr Tarsoo thanks man apreciate it
i have no name how did it go i hope you get into a good team
i have no name good luck!!!
i have no name keep try to achieve your dream! I do the same bro
Make dreams memories
Time flies but you are the pilot
Stars cannot shine without darkness
Yes, I want to get scouted. Football is my favourite thing to play. I'm 12 years old. I'm a LW.
Don't forget to hit gym. Sadly, for most people, the first thing scouts look for are pace, height and muscle because they will always have an advantage over a smaller player and can be moulded to be technical afterwards. Even Barcelona are releasing smaller players, even though they raised Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol (short for a CB) and, of course, Messi. The earlier you hit the gym the better, if you start going as soon as you hit puberty you can actually alter your skeletal structure to carry more muscle. ie broaden shoulders and lengthen legs.
Messi
I completely agree
+David Peacock I only disagree with hitting the gym hard if you are young. Certain gym training is harmful for prepubescent men
I didn't say gym 'hard' nor did I say to go before puberty. Just casual, light weight, high reps until 16 then you can go heavier but it's still very important.
I’m 5ft7 68kg at 17, do you feel like I’m disadvantaged ?
I have never actually been across a scout but I think that there are scouts out there that can really help players become pros. Question: is there a certain place that you have to live to be able to be scouted by some of the finest soccer clubs?
Josue Garcia London , Madrid , South of France , Central Germany , Turin , Lisbon , Amsterdam .
One of the best uncut video.
I‘m 15 years from Germany my friends told me I was shit, from there I took football very serious and started working on my speed, shooting accuracy and everything a professional footballer should have and now I have been signed for Borussia Dortmund whiles those who discouraged me are there trying to be friends with me. Hardwork really pays
Hey bro, congratulations on ur effort. You've fought a good fight.💯
So who are you?
Higher you go
Higher you go
Higher you go

I would really like to be a pro footballer, hopefully I get scouted to play in EPL I am trying my best everyday to be come one I am only 14 years old good luck for me and everyone who would like to be a soccer player,My passion for this sport is very insane I love it with all my heart thank you guys
I’m a 12 year old boy from South Africa. It’s hard to get scouted since in the city I live in there are no pro teams and I’ve never a football scout. Only rugby and cricket scouts although in SA football is actually the most popular sport. I used to play for a small club but I since left cause I Knew there would be nobody scouting there. I’ve now slighted adjusted my dream job from a pro footballer to a football journalist, manager,scout, agent,pundit or basically any fun job to do with football.
Edit: I also remember there was a boy who just 13 at the time (14 now) he was a spectacular player who played in midfield or anywhere upfront he was a deadly finisher and scored free kicks half way down the pitch. I feel sorry for h8m cause he is one of the most talented players I’ve ever seen but I don’t think he’ll ever get scouted.
I am a footballer from Nigeria and I am 19 and I believe in myself that I can do a lot, but I have a problem which is my Dad. He doesn't believe in me, the funny part is that he has never seen me play football, so I feel bad whenever I tell him about my intentions about becoming a pro footballer.
I pray soonest he comes to realise what I can do if I am given his blessings.
Great video! Keep making stuff like this!
Best uncut video Jolter and J. Mike.. Loved it..
Thanks you guys im happy !
I got scouted when I was 10, got released 3 years later. I played in defence and was a great tackler and I always read the game well, they released me because I wasn’t fast enough haha. Keep in mind I was 1/ years old. I am now 16 and one of the fastest in my boys club and school team.
Knowing people and building connections with other teams and coaches can help as well get yourself out there
Thanks for that video motivated me a lot 👍🏼
I'am 17 going to 18 yrs, I really work hard and love football but my parents don't believe in me and don't give me that time because of school even though i'am done with my high school. But i keep on hoping to have that chance.
if your parents dont believe in you they aren't actually parents
Thank you,
Bro you both motivated me I thought that i wont be able to play football at the age of 19 but now you made me pumped up 💪 #UniSportMotivation
Do u really made ur dream

I made it but due to corruption and dirty game I couldn’t play at a professional level i am still playing 5v5, I am not getting any chance to play 11v11

Tito Nícias G. T. da Silva
Hahahah kid is triggered
This is so good!
Thanks a lot you really helped me improve
I was heavily involved in football as a kid and watched 4 of my friends become professional. What i don't understand, there was lots of better players who never got scouted. Literally all round better players. How do they slip through the net?
I'm guessing they are not at the right place at the right time.
John Mike and Joller i love your videos
I like this channel ...especially Peter's skills
You have to show that your always ready for anything in your path
Can we please have a video for goalkeepers
Q&A: how to select the best quality football boots?
😂😂😂real motivation by two happy and confident souls⚽⚽⚽
It's always the ones who have the biggest determination and hardest workers who achieve they're dreams
I’m 17 years old, currently about to play my first year of college ball in the U.S. I’ve been approached by a lot of big schools but unfortunately, due to grades wasn’t able to get any real good offers. I wish a foreign scout would see what I could do, not to brag or anything... I would give anything to make it in this game.
also better grades?
I am 15. I'm 6ft tall. I'm fast I'm strong, I can dribble, pass, shoot and defend and have played different positions from centre back, to midfield, to winger and all the way to striker. Btw I know it sounds like i'm bragging but these are things that my coaches tell me. I just have one problem. My Dad is not supporting me and he's probably gonna make me drop football, so I can focus on my education because my grades aren't't the best. I'm honestly gutted, but there isn't much I can do about it :( My point is, I feel like I have potential to succeed in football but my family isn't backing me.
Make a deal with your dad and send your videos to the academies.
This was so inspiring
I am from India and I have been watching your videos for probably years. One thing I realised is that whatever you said is fine in the place you are at. Over here very few people have chances and usually they are from wealthy families. I want to be a pro footballer but I aint that rich. I will take all your advices seriously but I think you must make a video about how to get recognised in different countries too.
Can we get come content related to defending ....
M.S GAMER finally someone who’s a defender like me
Yeah man +1
Yup!
Messi yes lad
Yep!
Thanks for this video its going to be helpfull bc i want to try out for fc dallas they have open tryouts coming up
Work as had in school as you do on the football pitch and you'll be successful no matter what! Train hard- play easy! Study hard - live easier! Also, if you are fortunate enough to become a pro-footballer you'll have the ability to have game-intelligence, speed of thought and when your'e giving television interviews you'll have the vocabulary to represent your country, your family and yourself very well. Post-football career you'll have the intelligence to buy and manage your own team - Education is NEVER a bad investment, as unless you break your brain and you can't think anymore, then trust me, your brain and education WILL long outlast your never-ending decaying body (post-30 years old if you are lucky) - says an older wise bloke! So trust your parents as they love you! Football doesn't. Now go and train hard, train smart and then do the same in class champ! No excuses on the pitch or in class, - no days off! All the best. Be the best!
How would 2 people who haven’t been scouted to tell you what scouts look for?
Josh Macdonald word
that what they look for
Because they haven’t been scouted doesn’t mean they don’t know what it takes
Unisport please answer this question - how do I find trials for like decently big clubs in Australia I’ve tried looking but their very confusing and they don’t work so could u please help me figure out some way or explain in another video on how to build ur way up to a pro ? I really want to be successful this would be a great help 😃👍💯

A scout is a counsellor important like a agent too, to help manage the camera life hackle
Loved it
U see in the academy i play for im not in the first team
Ik i can play but my grandparents think i cant make it
Ive been scouted twice and both times I was dropped by the club (Reading and Swindon) it does really hurt. :/
Cobrook Studios that's sad but I was hoping could you give me some tips and all if do thank you
Meren Jamir I can feel ur feeling I was also dropped but now I play for Maharashtra
Could you give me tips to be scouted
Meren Jamir I can’t really give you any tips that will get you 100% scouted. Its all luck when it comes down to it, you need a scout to come see you by luck. All I can say is, keep trying, never give up and play every game to your best. If you do that it will give you a 10x better chance of being scouted. Some people are good enough to be pro, but a scout may never see them. Just keep playing with emotion, skill and pride and hopefully one day a scout will be there. If you have all 3 of those characteristics, you will have a good chance :) Good luck in for the future, I hope you make it to the top!
Thank you man I really appreciate it
And hope for you the best too good luck for the future
Your video are awesomely
I want to go pro but it doesn't matter if I get rich or not as longest I play my love for football will always be true♥️⚽💯
I just want to play the game to put food on the table
did u make it?
Hi, I'm going to be 20 by September, do you still think that I can make it to be pro and I would love to be scouted also. I love playing football and I play central midfield or CAM
You can!
It comes from talent and hard work for scouts to come and watch you play
Everybody loves you unisport
Nice guys
Unisports i have a question. Does it mean if your playing for a team thats older than you is that bad or good? Why?
Sport Skills112410 it is good, because it means you are playing with kids older than you because your club thought you were talented enough to play that age group
Jalen thanks
Yes it’s good to play with older people bro where do u play
Brandon Diau I dont play for anybig club but i play for a u13 and im only 11 going to be 12
(My club is Brantford Galaxy)
Y’all should make a video about agents and how players use agents to become a pro player
This guy is really saying the fact
But how can you get scouted in countries like Namibia
Bruno Bauleth Scouts from UK will be coming this year. It will take place at the soccer house 16-17 March 2019
