A talk with Troels Bech at his podcast “Bech Bag Bolden” in Danish
If you are a young player with talent and ambition - but not yet part of an established talent environment - the possibilities for a contract may seem to close in front of you. In this episode, you meet 17-year-old Gustav Winkler, who, based on school football and private football schools in Oman, has found an alternative way to contract in English Oldham.
Hear Gustav and his father talk about the challenges of replacing the sheltered workshop in a safe environment with a tough professional environment. They talk about the considerations about using an agent, about committing to a 2, maybe 3-year contract - and about the considerations about choosing between Danish and English clubs.
This episode will be able to inspire talents and their parents - and give hope to all of us who just do not want to look back with annoyance at not having tried the dream of.
