PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY

Our analysis framework is based on a set of initial definitions:

The Academy Concept

A football academy is an organization, supported on proper infra-structures and services, aiming to provide the best football training, social and sporting education to young athletes.”
– Youth Football Management

THE ACADEMY ORGANIZATION & PROCESSES

MANAGEMENT
RECRUITMENT
TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT
MEDICAL MONITORING
PERSONAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
MKT AND COMMUNICATION
SUPPORT SERVICES

The Academy Key Processes

Analogy with the production process

PLAYER RECRUITMENT
RAW MATERIAL

The best raw material for the best end product (according with the defined player profile).

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
TRANSFORMATION PROCESS

After the strategic decision about the LTPD – Long Term Player Development, the implementation and control of this process should be 100% efficient. The delta should only be the “Raw Material”.

PLAYER MANAGEMENT
DISTRIBUTION

Integrate players in the 1st team/ Sell & Loan players/ Drop-out players.

CONSULTING APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Our consulting approach and methodology will then be developed around these initial
definitions, considering the following work phases:

PHASE 1

Assessment, Diagnosis & Conclusions

Output:AS IS REPORT

PHASE 2

Strategic Approach & Recommendations to Implement

Output:TO BE REPORT

PHASE 3

Action Plan & Sustained Improvement

Output:ACTION PLAN REPORT

The YFM approach aims to be positive, non-intrusive and supportive:

  • Our goal is to share knowledge & experience and support improvement, not to replace the existing technical structure or “delete” the existing development programs.
  • YFM is made of former players, coaches and managers. We have a track-record, we have had results and our proposal is to work alongside with our clients, towards the same kind of results.
  • We believe in the long-term success of our work and aim to partner with managers and technical structures that have the vision, competence and the courage to embrace it. Our success is our client success, not the other way around.
