Upload A Video to YouTube.com, Get Recruited by A Top Team...At the Age of 9.

Author: sportsaholic@softwerkz.com  Date: 8/3/2007

The Manchester United soccer club recruited this 9-year-old after viewing his YouTube audition showcasing his mad, mad, mad soccer skills.  Is this going to start a trend of sports-crazed parents uploading their videos of their kids in hopes that they'll get pro-contracts too?  Probably...



This video has gotten a lot of attention (and views) and is worth watching.  But even Man U has stated that it is not uncommon for them to recruit and develop young talent and that like all of the other players on their youth squads, he will be subject to their annual reviews. 

Dust off those video cameras and start editing your highlight reels folks, because YouTube is your chance to market and self-promote your kid in hopes of getting him a pro contract or college scholarship.
