They lose it because nobody told them how the window worked. Sixty minutes with a football agent and UEFA-licensed coach — where he actually stands, three realistic next steps with dates, and the mistakes that cost a season.
Player and parent, together on the call. Both need to hear the same thing.
Written up and sent within 48 hours. Where he stands, three next steps with dates, what to avoid. Yours to take to any coach.
Activated on the call. The questions that come up after we hang up don't wait for the next session.
Day ten. One message. Did the thing we talked about actually happen.
Club, level, age, position, registration status, eligibility. Where he actually is — not where the highlight reel says he is.
How the English pyramid works above him. Where the windows are. Where he sits inside it today.
Three realistic routes for the next twelve months. With dates. Not motivation — a calendar.
The moves that cost families a season. This is usually the part parents write down.
Where MATE fits, and what to do on Monday.
Vitalii Lomov. Football agent and UEFA-licensed coach, based in London. Founder of Talent Mates.
He works with players and families moving through the English system — academies, semi-pro, the routes in and out of both. He built MATE because the same questions kept arriving at eleven at night, and families shouldn’t have to wait until morning for an answer.
