#684: Chatting youth soccer with the head of Gladbach's international academy
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on youth soccer development with Wolfgang Heilmann from Borussia Monchengladbach's international academy.
Vince and Belz sat down with Wolfgang Heilmann, who oversees Borussia Monchengladbach's "international academy," in the hours before Gladbach drew 1-1 with Mainz on Sunday (we saw a Scally goal). Most of the conversation is about youth development in general: how Gladbach's U9 team plays small-sided games on the weekends vs other clubs, why academy players are expected to be humble, and much more.
