Welcome to Scout’s Corner on the Ball At All Cost podcast. We sit down with Premier League academy scout Timi Sossa to break down what scouts are really looking for when they watch young players.From grassroots matches to academy pathways, Timi shares honest insight into how talent is identified, what separates good players from great prospects, and the traits clubs value most in young footballers.We also talk about the realities of academy football, the role parents and coaches play in development, and why attitude, coachability, and consistency matter just as much as technical ability.If you’re a player, parent, coach, or grassroots football fan, this conversation offers real insight into the pathway to academy football.Subscribe for more honest conversations on grassroots football, player development, and the realities of the game.#ballatallcost #grassrootsfootball #football #premierleague #playerdevelopment #youthfootball #footballcoaching #footballparent #academyfootball #footballacademy
