In this episode of The Inside Scoop, host Neil Crawford talks with Joao Plantier, General Manager of FuteBALLER and a former scout with Sporting CP and other top European clubs.

Joao shares what scouts really look for during a two-week trial — from technical quality and decision-making to mentality and adaptability. He breaks down the difference between American and European development, what separates elite players from the rest, and how parents can better prepare their kids for opportunities abroad.

A must-listen for any parent or coach serious about understanding what it takes to reach the next level.
