How much longer are you going to wait before you get
an offer from a club; at least go for trials? So long, a lot of footballers
have wasted many years still waiting and hoping that someday a scout will come
and fish them out from that remote playground far way in Africa.
It’s unfortunate that several of these people are
real players. They possess awesome talents hidden away in the hinterlands.
While the world eagerly wait to see another Yaya Toure come on to the big
stage, many of these talents couldn’t find their way of the dark. The hardship in Africa force most of them to
take up alternative means of livelihood, after many years of waiting without
progress.
To understand what am about to tell you, imagine you
are producing this wonder product that can instantly cure HIV; from one remote
factory down the road, but nobody comes to buy. Though, a lot of people are
eagerly looking for a product this, they aren’t aware it existed just down the
road. Without creating awareness, your factory may soon go bankrupt and shut
down.
Every product, no matter how good, require some sort
of marketing to get the right people to come for it. Just like the product
illustrated above, a football player is a sport product. Skillful players is
what clubs and fans pay for. Some clubs are willing to pay millions of dollars
to get a good player,only if they are aware he exist somewhere. Every footballer needs someone that can help promote him and get the
attention of professional clubs around the world.
Footballers aren’t professional marketers and may
not be able to sell their skills themselves. They may not possess relationships
in the transfer market. This is the reason I have always recommended that any
serious minded should quickly make contact with sport marketing professional.
You can be sure that while you are training to keep fit and improve your
football skills, there’s someone busy marketing you to scouts, Agents and clubs
around the world.
