Yes the club does seem to have it's fair share of hideous stories surrounding it's local enterprises.
My pet peeve at the moment is the rise of 'pre academies', starting as young as u6.
A U6 pre academy, wtf is that? |
A cash cow.

It's interesting that the majority of Bundesliga Clubs don't take boys in full time until they are 12. Up until that age they encourage them to participate in a wide range of sports to enable them to develop a whole range of biomechanical movements that cross between those different sports.
The issue with specialisation is that because that method has produced the likes of Ronaldo, Rory McIlroy, and Andre Agassi, that is held up as a false model of how to produce an elite level athlete. An Australian Institute for Sport study estimated that for every one child that becomes world class due to early specialisation, 99 drop out due to injuries from over-use of certain muscle groups, or burn out through falling out of love with the game.
The vast majority of kids are NOT like Martin Odegaarde. They don't want to spend hours on end from the age of 7 playing or doing nothing other than football. |  | | |

It's shown to have benefits in certain sports, mostly individual ones such as gymnastics and swimming. The sad fact is many of the athletes end up resenting the years and time that they've spent training, and drop out as soon as they achieve all that they can. Agassi and Woods don't look back on their childhoods fondly. |  |
