Football Scouting Starter Kit
Everyone can watch a match.
Not everyone can scout one.
A complete starter kit built by a current EFL Championship scout — the knowledge, templates, and portfolio framework to go from football fan to someone clubs take seriously.
The honest truth
There's no shortage of courses that promise to make you a scout.
Most of them will teach you frameworks. Very few will get you hired. What actually separates an aspiring scout from a working one is almost never the certificate on their CV — it's the work they can show.
This kit is built around that one idea. It won't sell you a badge. It will hand you the templates, the process, and the portfolio structure that professional recruitment departments actually respond to.
Your work is your introduction.
— from the author's own journey into professional scouting, included in full inside the Blueprint
