Have you ever felt like the traditional route to becoming a professional footballer is an impossible task? Relying on being at the right place at the right time to be seen by a scout, let alone being able to play to the best of your ability? Perhaps you live in an area that scouts for big teams do not frequently visit, if at all. Rest assured, ScoutR is finally bringing football scouting into the new age, combining social media & football to become a hub for discovering talent.
You no longer have to be scouted in person to become a professional footballer. This blog will explain how to become a professional footballer without getting scouted in person.
Breaking the Mold with ScoutR
ScoutR allows you to post your highlights directly to scouts and other players, who will rate each highlight on Ability, Awareness, Strength, and Pace. These are seen as the four key aspects to first noticing a player. You will then get an average score across all of your videos for these four stats as well as an overall rating. The top 25 players will be shown on a leaderboard for each statistic as well as an overall leaderboard, showcasing the very best players. This is a way to maximize your exposure.
Here are other ways:
- Amplifying Your Presence
With ScoutR, you’re not just another face in the crowd. Showcase your skills, stats, and achievements to a global audience of scouts and coaches. If we think your clips are good enough, we will repost them to our social media with a shoutout to you, so you have the chance to be seen by millions of people worldwide.
We also have a free WhatsApp Community that you can join here, which will allow you to speak to other players who are wanting to go pro, helping boost your exposure in a community of like-minded players, all striving to be the best, sharing tips and even letting their teams know about you!
- Unparalleled Visibility
Unlike traditional social media where the most interacted videos get viewed, ScoutR’s goal is to get everyone views, to get everyone a fair rating and a chance to get on the leaderboard. ScoutR isn’t about getting the most views; it is about getting noticed. Our algorithm is designed to do just that. We have found that the peer rating system has been a major success in our testing, giving the best players higher ratings and fair ratings to other players.
