The Deliverable

What a report looks like

Every report follows the same fixed structure, so when you re-order, the improvement is measurable — not vibes.

  1. Eight attribute categories scored to the tenth of a point — finishing, movement, first touch, hold-up play, link-up, aerial ability, speed, work rate
  2. Attribute radar showing your profile shape at a glance
  3. Written scout's notes per category — specific moments from your footage
  4. Three priority fixes ranked by impact, with direction on how to train them
  5. Benchmarked to your stated level — a 7 means a 7 at your level, honestly given
Who's Assessing You

Why listen to me

I'm Owen Degelman, a Canadian-Irish striker. I've played in the Canadian Premier League with Halifax Wanderers, in Germany's Regionalliga with TSV Aubstadt, and in the Northern Irish Championship with Armagh City FC — three countries, three football cultures, three different standards to adapt to.

Nobody handed me the European route. I learned the registration rules, the trial culture, and what coaches here actually value by living it — including the parts that cost me time and money. That's the knowledge in every report and every call.

I won't tell you or your kid what you want to hear. Inflated ratings, a pathway plan built on wishful thinking, or a training programme copied from someone else's game — none of that moves a player forward. What I offer is the perspective of someone who has been assessed, rejected, signed and coached across three countries, applied honestly to where you are right now.
