Having asked c.350 players aged 9-15 years old in the past few weeks what they DON'T like about playing football. #1 - Parents and coaches shouting at them. Nothing else came even close. Imagine - many children are playing DESPITE adults around them, not because of them.

Grim reality. 70 hours of training done with our U17s so far this season (not including the 15 matches played). At least 3 pitch sessions. 5 coaches involved, all volunteers. Players involved in first team, Irish Internationals! Not sustainable, serious funding needed!
The facts speak for themselves on the importance of fixing the League of Ireland academies - a piece from Will Clarke’s important annual presentation including some damning slides which illustrate why Irish football will not progress without fixing it

Exclusive analysis by our @FactCheck team shows just how bad things are getting in Northern Ireland’s health service. The number of people waiting more than 12 hours in A&E is now 36 times higher than it was in 2009. @C4Ciaran reports.

It becomes less staggering when you work in a pro academy and it quickly becomes common knowledge that most of the kids aren't good enough but they're kept on year after year because they are the best the area has to offer and the club needs to fill the squads. Sad, but true.
Staggering stats. 97% of former cat 1 academy players now aged 21 to 26 never made an EPL appearance. 70% weren't handed a pro contract at an EPL or EFL club. And only 1 in 10 went on to make more than 20 league appearances in the top four tiers of English football.

A lot of truth in this from @InishowenIndo. Have a look at any under age game and you will see the future is not looking good.

Pep Lijnders, “I see a lot of tactical and result oriented youth coaches. They put up with the current technical level of players and concentrate on developing team tactics and focus on results. I like to win as well, but... the individual development must dominate.”
