How Leeds United Make A Pro | Interview with Andy Wood, Liam Bennett &Oliver Norman from the Academy

🔔Something a little different on The Leeds View today, and honestly one of the most fascinating conversations we've had on the channel. At the Maree Oranmore football camp in Ireland, we sat down with Leeds United Foundation lead coach Andy Wood, Under-14 lead coach Liam Bennett and Under-12 lead coach Oliver Norman to talk about what it really takes to develop young footballers into professionals. We go deep on the footballing side, what coaches look for at different ages, how the pathway works and what separates the players who make it from those who don't. But we also get into the mental side, attitude, resilience, handling setbacks and why character matters just as much as ability. Plus the importance of grassroots football and the role community coaching plays in the bigger picture. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at a Premier League academy, this is the conversation for you. 🔔 Subscribe for daily Leeds United content 👍 Like and share if you enjoy the video 💬 Let us know your thoughts in the comments #LeedsUnited #LUFC #LeedsUnitedAcademy #GrassrootsFootball ======================================================== The Leeds View delivers daily Leeds United news, Monday to Friday — transfer updates, match previews, player news and honest analysis.
