The use of the internet has made scouting players a lot easier now and the use of social networking site has made the ability to scout players even easier!
Simon Jones, of 1Footballer.com, said “the world has become a smaller place with the internet and our website allows players, scouts, managers and agents all over the world communicate. The site gives the player the ability to promote himself to a world audience and contact clubs, the player has a fantastic opportunity with 1Footballer.com. I really wish that the internet was advanced as it is now when I was youngster!”
“The use of online storage is great and allows us to be able to store the players CV and video on our servers which basically means that the club manager and scout can view the players profile and download these and watch his videos, saving the club time and money on expensive scouting trips.”
“One thing that was asked from one player on 1Footballer.com last week was match reports. Players are able to upload their match reports so scouts can also download them too”
“Clubs can carry out specific searches looking for a certain player and then view his profile. If the player is a free agent they are welcome to contact him directly. However, should the player be attached to a club the profile will list his agent so they can contact him to discuss the players availability”
“Our aim, at 1Footballer.com, is to help the development of a young player and help him get noticed, and scouted. We are looking forward to reading our success stories”
Players looking to communicate with other players, scouts, managers and agents world wide just need to join the site, upload their profile, videos and cv’s and apply to join.
