Had the pleasure of working with Ethan when he was U10-U12 thoughts with his family.
Macclesfield FC (C)@thesilkmen

With the heaviest of hearts and an overwhelming sense of surrealism that Macclesfield FC can confirm the passing of 21-year-old forward Ethan McLeod. Travelling back from Bedford Town last night, Ethan was involved in a car accident on the M1 which tragically took his life. Ethan was an incredibly talented and well-respected member of our First Team Squad, who had his whole life ahead of him. But more than that, Ethan’s infectious personality endeared him to everyone that he came into contact with. In giving his all in everything he did, Ethan effortlessly pushed us all to be the best we can be - both on and off the pitch. Ethan’s professionalism and unwavering work ethic inspired everyone, and his lust for life put smiles on all our faces - even on the darkest of days. News of Ethan’s passing has devastated our entire Club and no words can convey the immense sense of sadness and loss that we feel now. The deep mental scars elicited from Ethan’s passing will undeniably never heal - but one thing is for sure, and that is Ethan’s vibrant legacy will never fade, no matter how much time passes in the future. Ethan will live in our hearts and minds forevermore and no matter what the future holds, his unique smile that mesmerised us all will never be forgotten. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ethan’s family and friends at this deeply traumatic time, together with an assurance that we will provide as much support as we can to those who need it. May you rest in peace Ethan - you will forever be a Silkman.

Alex Inglethorpe, Liverpool’s Academy Director, is blunt about early ranking, it’s almost meaningless. What a player is at 9, 12 or 13 tells you almost nothing about what they can become. ➠ Trent Alexander-Arnold not number one in his group. ➠ Connor Bradley not number one in his group. ➠ Jarell Quansah not number one in his group at that time. And you could go through all of them. Every now and again you see the obvious one, Jude Bellingham at Birmingham and Rooney at Everton. Clear standouts who stayed standouts. They exist, but they’re the exception. ⇢ Harry Kane shows the reality. At Tottenham at 13 he was middle of the group at best. Not on the podium. Gold and silver medalist Harry Kane wasn’t anywhere near it according to Alex Inglethorpe when he was at Tottenham Academy then. Then Brad Friedel came in one day and said “he finishes like Robbie Fowler”. ➝ No backlift. ➝ Hits the ball hard. ➝ Finds corners. That single comment shifted the perspective. These players didn’t announce themselves as prodigies, they grew. They changed physically, mentally, technically, socially. Someone recognised the direction they were moving in, not the snapshot they were frozen in. That’s often (not always) core coaching failure at youth level, adults obsess over the podium instead of the trajectory. ⁃ The best at 12 is often the earliest developer. ⁃ The middle is often the one with the longer runway. ⁃ The worst is often the one carrying the biggest biological gap. Alex Inglethorpe’s message is brutal but accurate: 🔴 Stop judging children by where they sit in the pack. 🔴 Start judging them by what their behaviours, mindset and habits suggest they might become.

Thanks to the @GeirJordet for the CPD for the LCA around scanning and the importance of developing scanning in young players. Very insightful research.
