The main purpose and job of a football scout is to find and discover promising, talented and mainly young football players before anyone else does - and ultimately sign them to the club or client the scout is working for. This process is usually very difficult for the football scouts as there are so many talented footballers out there who dream of becoming professional footballers. Football scouts watch hundreds of games in order to find interesting and promising players and getting scouted is one of many ways on how you can become a professional footballer!

Some of the main thing football scouts are looking for in young players include;
Your technical level. What kind of football skills do you have? How comfortable are you with the ball at your feet? How is your first touch? How is your shooting and passing technique? Are you comfortable playing with only one or two touches?
Your mental strength and leadership qualities. Are you afraid of mistakes on the pitch? Are you communicating with your teammates on the pitch? Are you able to stay focused throughout the match? Can you take responsibility on the pitch?
Your football brain and football IQ. How well can you read the game? How is your movement off the ball? How do you position yourself when defending?
... and the list goes on!
