Romie’s dad is a nightmare. Imagine telling academy coaches how to do their job.
I'm only a few mins in, and where he says his son wants to play in World Cup in 2030... I just cringed. The guy is putting way too much expectations on just a little kid. It is so sad to see.
It is sad and unfortunate that a lot of parents try to live out their dream through their child. We see it all the time in the states, especially in youth (American) football. There is so much money in youth sports now that it has become a business. If you push to hard the child will just resent you and the sport. Ultimately, this is a business, but the child still has to enjoy what they are doing.
So people at Palace think Jessie is unworth to be at academy because of his height, and by this rule or way of thinking, would dismiss Messi from their young development! Now we understand why La Masia is what it is, and other academies now one know their proper names ...
They extended Jessie...
harry so young and yet so eloquent
i hope he does well
I thought so too. He is very intelligent.
I feel for Romie because due to his dad having at him all the time he feels pressured when playing and to perform because he feel like he needs to be the best as he can witch can take a big toll on his mental health just let the kid have a break man
That pressure is what keeps you going
@@nevershowjay yes of course it does but it can be to a certain degree where it takes a toll on his passion for the game
@james_plays6175 If he continues to improve he'll keep passion. Passion only leaves when you realize you're not good enough anymore.
some kids respond well to pressure and others dont
Ebs at 18:30 puts it perfectly
jessie has got some good dedication
This is what the US is lacking!
US you also gotta pay, a lot.
Not really. I don't see anything here that I haven't seen in the US. The main thing though is that CP is probably free, whereas here it would not be free (at U8-U11 at least, because there are no MLS acadmies at those ages)
@@nofurtherwest3474 in other words, what the US is lacking! Smh!
@@ebiyejombo but no we aren't lacking it because from what I see this does not look like a healthy environment. no 8 yr old should be thinking about world cup 2030 and Bugatti for dad. They should just be having fun playing the game.
If you are there for free then you are beholden to them. Which is fine when older, but not at age 8 or 10. I am kinda glad we don't have that system here. The Pro academies here start at U13, which I think is good.
Most kids here play other sports too, which I think is good for ages 4-12.
Its a marathon not a sprint.
@@nofurtherwest3474well there's something you're right about and there's something wrong about the US didn't start soccer like Europe did And if the premier League faced MLS we would get smashed however US is not just lacking in academies which I don't think they're lacking that bad but we're really lacking in the world like spiritual warfare
I want to be in the academy and am 12 going to 13 at august but am in Africa
Great documentary
1. Loved Jessie quality. Definitely up for it even for his size. The one to keep
2. Harry for me is not a natural striker, more of a defensive midfield player. Loved the shirt tuck in.. his run and move remind me of Steven Gerrard
3. Feel for Romie. His Dad is his own falling. I wouldn't chew a gum during an interview
commenting this while watching this at 36:39. Let's see it out
Harry appears a bit flat footed to me
@@nofurtherwest3474 yeah.. agreed. More like Jordan Henderson then
@@Gednur i can't think of any pro that he reminds me of. maybe Harry Maguire if I had to pick someone. but hey Harry made it big.
Man the one dad is on my nerves, and we are like 2 mins in lol when he hits the point of realization that he needs to be father and not just a coach is absurd. I played in our ODP (Olympic Development Program) in the states from 8-16 until i tore my acl/mcl. My parents pushed me and reinforced positive things, without overstepping or being hyper critical. I wish we had academies here all along, we only recently started seeing MLS clubs have youth development. The ODP system was fine, but we needed more and better development. Love that the game is growing here in the states finally, but we are still miles off it compared to the rest of the world. That is why we see so much talent go elsewhere for development because the resources and infrastructure just arent robust enough here to really foster and produce talent.
Getting dad a Bugatti and golf course at the backyard.. what load of bs been put into this kid’s mind… am 110% sure .. this kid ain’t getting any of those.
I mean maybe he will, but I think his dad just put that shi into his mind😅
Fr 😂 maybe but again no matter how hard these kids work you could still work 100% and somehow still don't make professional
For the boy who want to buy a Buggati and a house with a golf course, he will not make it
Dang why don't we being so harsh on him why are we on his meat chill 😭
@@aarondavoes Instead of thinking about football and winning the WC like Maradona, he is thinking abt money!! Sorry, he will fail.
I actually find this environment quite toxic; it’s a microcosm of the EPL’s excess. 8 year old kids talking about G-Wagons, Bugattis, buying houses; signing days dressed up like they’re pros. The club and parents encourage and enable this toxic behaviour.
agreed
It’s true. But the reward is what makes it this way. It is the same in any industry. It is what it is.
@@patera83 nah no 8 yr old needs to be thinking about those things. just go play. like the kids in Brazil just playing on the street developing good skills. then later they enter a club, like maybe age 11 or 12. and they will be better than these kids.
Harry's attitude 😅
The united states
Need to do this .
Get good quality good moral oriented coaches that can guide these young men to greatness.
We need American kids dreaming of getting rich by playing football. Longer career with more money available in more places. Rather than being a running back for two years before you get replaced by someone less injured and a little younger in the NFL.
Can you tell me why you think American kids should be dreaming like that before I tell you what we need to do
@@aarondavoesit’s better for their body than American football and that’s what most kids want to do.
@@MoscowRussia-sh7sr I know but still we our bodies work differently
@@aarondavoes the collision is still bad for you if you watch American football you can tell that when they can get a hard hit they will do it.
@@MoscowRussia-sh7sr ik
I wish I had the chance to show myself to an academy… I would do anything to have a chance to be looked at
Some of the kids got it wrong… Football first and only ❤ . Some spoke of money, riches, a big house…
EVEN THE KIDS WEARING RAINBOW ARMBAND
Fr
Look I love LGBTQ people in Jesus name but what they're doing is wrong but at the same time I can't judge them because I don't know how they became gay
Parents want more then the kids. High pressure
This is a brutal documentary. I’ve always known it but watching it happen, looking at the adults deciding which kid they will keep is not fun at all…
I was wondering why the England men national team haven't won any title since 1966. After this video, I have got a good idea. The 8yo was talking about scoring winners. And training seems more focus on physicality. Where's the ball skill, ball control and passing vision and technique that makes the Germans, Spanish, French, Italy, Brazil, Argentina champions again and time again. Many of the kids here just don't have the balance, coordination or athleticism, I'm afraid.
They are just kids, let them develop.
@@sezniteowl5398for real like shut up each country plays their own football
A lot of kids have the physical talent but don’t have the mental strength
Im a club coach
I wish all my kids loved the sport as much as these kids do
Did Romie's dad ever played professionally?
Kind of off topic but i wish the U.S could adopt the system of scouting you have to pay 1k to get on a team…
Or you could be like Canada and let anyone into the country and find your players their.
Romie's dad doing the next project mbappe
I hope all those parents realize that each human has their own gift and limitation. So they won't force and quickly change their kids life target when they realize their kids: not good in motoric, awareness, and other things that cannot be trained. And it will only take one year to find out. They only need to be honest. and it's not the kids fault. If anything it is the parents genetic fault in the first place, right.
I remember one of my childhood friends who was really gifted with motoric skills. He was just good in any kids play or game. Including football. We used to play 3 vs 1 kind of rondo football against him LOL, and we the 3 lost LOLOL. He just toyed with us and laughing. He was that good. Too bad he died young. Anyway, there are things that cannot be taught or trained. Be honest and be fair to your kids.
This is all wrong. Little kids should not feel pressure on a football pitch, from coaches or parents. They should be enjoying it. All these signing day things. Ridiculous. This is all not positive role models and behaviour, shown to them. It encourages traits of a not well rounded person. Working hard, time keeping etc, is fine. Getting too much too soon. Kids don't even clean senior players boots or anything. Ask players who did this, as apprentices, and they'll say they got a good grounding, and didn't get above themselves. What I'm seeing here is just a toxic environment
Fr If I was in this academy I will put every burden every pressure I have on God where everybody else in this academy needs to do is have a really good mentality extremely good mentality really improve and don't worry about impression of coaches but impressing himself always gone 100% in games
Putting kids aged 8-14 in such a high pressure atmosphere is abusive, and don't try to justify it by saying the kids want it. They are too young to know what they are getting into. The parents, on the other hand, should know. My son was a good competitive baseball player. I coached his teams in little league and pony league. He went on to play in high school and college. Didn't make it past that, and it was all a good experience. I would have never put him in one of these types of programs even if he was invited. Very few of even the most highly-touted young players will ever make big money, less than 5%. Many kids get scarred for life by the toxic environment.
Selhurst Park is such a dump
harrys a g
TOXIC
TBH I didn't click on this to meet these F kr s. Was hoping for more game play and less about the families.
Why So enorm pressure of these kids?
I think that this filosofy will not work and doesn't work, because England has won only 1 world cup and that was in 1966!!!!
Go and learn from south america academy's
This is almost cult like, awesome kids, but questionable 🤔 ways and rules they should have mental health and field trips to pro games and to action parks to just ride rides and be kids, Plus we're are the colored children, I don't see any kids with melanin 😉, weird, anyway, cheers to kids, and God bless u guys, July 4th 2024, Independence Day ❤🎉❤America the beautiful the home sweet home 🏡 rest in peace 🙏 🪦 😌 ☹️ to all that gave there lives so we can be free to celebrate 🥳 today. Remember God when u watch the fireworks 🎆 🙏 🙄 tonight 🙏 God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 😊 all of you. Hit me up, love to have a real British friend 🧡
