The series will provide ‘behind the scenes’ insight into how coaching, sport science, fitness methodology, talent identification and mental training is carried out at the elite level. It will also follow the stories of the hopefuls in the build up to their time in the V9 Academy and provide and insight into Jamie’s time in non league football.
Each successful applicant will be evaluated technically, tactically, physically and mentally and will leave the academy with an individual development plan to help progress their game beyond the academy.
Scouts from professional clubs will also be running the rule over the players and for those successful students who secure a professional contract, Key Sports Management, one of the UK’s leading football management companies and co founders of the V9 Academy will broker a contract.
