If you’ve ever wondered how young players go from youth soccer → academy → professional contracts, this interview is for you.

In this special episode, former FIFA-licensed agent Miro Gladovic joins me to answer real questions submitted by parents from our community.

We dig into what scouts actually look for, how the process really works, and the common mistakes families make when chasing opportunities.

Inside this conversation, we cover:
✔ What separates players who get noticed
✔ The role environment, culture & timing play
✔ Europe vs. U.S. pathways — what’s the difference?
✔ What parents should (and shouldn’t) focus on
✔ Trials, scouting, agents, and exposure — explained clearly

If your child dreams of going pro — or you just want clarity, honesty, and direction — this episode will give you the roadmap.
