Free Player Consultation
Free football player consultation
Not sure where to start? Talk to Rusty.
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what to do next.
Whether you've been scouted but not taken forward, attended a trial or development programme, been released, or simply want to understand what options are available, a conversation can help clarify the next step.
Book a free 20-minute phone or video consultation with The Academy Insider.
- No obligation.
- No sales pressure.
- Just an honest conversation about your next step.
If we don't think one of our services is right for you, we'll tell you.
What we'll discuss
- Your current football situation
- Previous football experiences
- What you're looking to achieve
- Any concerns or questions you have
- Your development options
- Live or video assessment options
- Player development options
- Potential UK or international pathways where relevant
- What your next step could be
An honest conversation — not a player assessment.
We cannot professionally assess a player's football ability from a 20-minute conversation.
The Free Consultation is designed to understand your situation, answer your questions and help identify the most appropriate next step.
Professional football assessment takes place through Academy Insider Live Scouting or Video Scouting.
