This workshop is a continuation of the Level 2 – INTERMEDIATE workshop.
This workshop teaches advanced scouting skills used in player assessment and advanced scouting techniques used at professional levels.
The knowledge gained from the Level 1 and Level 2 – INTERMEDIATE workshops is required to complete the scouting and recruitment tasks.
Attendees will enhance their understanding of the Scouting Process and how Recruitment Departments function through unique scenario tasks, preparing them for situations they will encounter while working at a professional football club.
Attendees will further their scouting development and learn how to assess players in more detailed areas of performance including assessing performance in the nine areas of player possession.
The workshop will show how to assess player performance over a number of matches to judge their signing potential.
Additionally, the workshop will cover player gamesmanship, game management, and leadership.
Specialist playing positions will be evaluated and assessed using video tasks to develop technical understanding and knowledge.

Furthermore, this workshop covers advanced recruitment techniques for the role of Chief Scout / Head of Recruitment. Through scenario tasks, attendees will step into the shoes of a recruitment decision maker and gain an understanding of how a playing squad is constructed.
