    Football is watched and played by hundreds of millions of people across the globe, enjoying the beautiful game week in week out with friends, families and sometimes people we haven't met before. 


    What exactly is an Academy?
    Academies are special training schemes set up by clubs to help them develop young players. All Premiership clubs have them. Other League clubs run either Academies or Centres of Excellence, which are run along the same lines. Many non-league clubs also run their own development schemes or community projects.


    Football academies were developed by the leading clubs so that they could identify and nurture talented players from as young as eight. The 9,000 boys in their ranks are desperate to succeed, but only a handful will make it to the top.


    Football is a sport enjoyed by millions in UK. Whether you pull on the shirt for your local team on a Sunday, or just pull on your favorite team's jersey and cheer them on with a pint and a pie, making it as a professional football player has crossed the minds of every single one of us.


    Full disclaimer I've never played pro in Europe or abroad outside of the United States. I'm not speaking from experience on how I did it but rather how I think it's done. 


    It is difficult not impossible. First you must understand, very few of them make it big (club/national team etc) but it’s all about the talent you have and hard work you are going to do during the period. 


    Becoming a professional in the sport you fall in love with as a kid is an ultimate dream. Scoring a goal in front of thousands of fans in the Champions League Final, diving over the try line to win your country the World Cup or hitting the winning runs to clinch an Ashes series.
