Task 2 - Talent Development Programme
Aim
● Develop the chosen footballer to earn a professional contract

sessions will focus on specific attributes that the player will have to improve in order to get
himself a football contract. They will include psychological factors, physiological factors,
technical factors and tactical factors. They are all important factors that will determine his
ability and the difference between an average and a good player.
Purpose
● Sign him for the best club he realistically can play for
● Earn himself a guaranteed contract that he can make a living from
● Fit him into a team that he will feel right at
