Following up from the previous webinar "How to Get a Trial" Nick, Corbi, and Coach John Moses explain how to effectively prepare for a trial.
I receive this question from readers almost on a daily basis, but I have yet to see a good guide about getting a football trial on the internet. This is pretty shocking, because at some point in time, millions of players must ask themselves this very question if they want to make something of themselves. I asked myself this when I was struggling to get somewhere because in order to build your career, you must have chances to prove yourself!

Listen to Corbi talk about his amazing experience of being coached by David Alaba in the FC Bayern Academy.
Sit down with Corbi and Claire to talk about the differences in playing football in the EU and in the US, and how you can increase your chances if you are from a country with little football culture.
