Our Talent ID process for selecting players to take to the Emirates this summer is based on both players’ GPS data and traditional scouting clips. We need to see if you’ve got both the physical capabilities and the technical ability to put you in front of Arsenal’s Academy and Talent ID staff 🔬 Our PRO SCORE feature is particularly important. It gives players an overall score (out of 100) that’s made up of a range of metrics. If you’re in the 80s or above, we know immediately you’re already physically well developed. In Logan’s case, at just 14, he stood out for being quick for his size and positionally versatile (CB and RB). He was good on the ball and could bang it from distance too. Ahead of this summer’s Talent ID event, we’ll be keeping an eye on all of our users - make sure you’re keeping clips of your performances in training and matchday 🤝 Link in the bio to find out more 🔗 #arsenal #youthfootball #youthsoccer #football #talentdevelopment #talentid #academyfootball #soccer

Premier League Academies generally tend to start using GPS technology with younger players around the 12/13 year old mark for various different reasons. 📈 Some players develop faster than others, especially if they hit growth spurts earlier in their teens. Using GPS, coaches and individual players can spot areas for physical development, and can track seasonal progress. 🎯 Collecting and sharing the data has also become a cornerstone of the talent ID process. 📈 #football #academyfootball #footballtraining #gps #talentid #scouting #soccer #futbol
