At first it was only Christian Pulisic flying the flag for talented young American players in the Bundesliga, but the former Borussia Dortmund star was soon joined by Weston McKennie, Josh Sargent, Tyler Adams, Gio Reyna and many more.
Roseville Premier is proud to be a scouting partner for the Talentprojekt, to evaluate local and regional talent and to recommend players to the 'The Talentprojekt' based on their talent, potential and personal character.
The core philosophy, values, and principles are based on developing the person first, and athlete second. In cooperation with Germany’s highly successful education system, they offer a stimulating environment that holistically promotes learning and character development making each student-athlete a confident, respectable global citizen.
Simultaneously, high-performing athletes are immersed in the widely recognized and highly regarded Bundesliga youth player development program through a full academy season, headed by German licensed and experienced trainers and coaches. Matches will include Bundesliga youth academy competition where Talent Projekt players will be in the shop window as they are viewed by professional scouts and “tipsters” representing professional soccer clubs.
This unique development and scouting platform for young talent, ambitious to play in Europe, will benefit specially selected boys scouted in the United States by our collaborative team of talent evaluators.
TRANSFORMING WHISPERING TALENT
The Talentprojekt mission is to prove that American kids, WHEN given the same advantages as their European counterparts, their true potential emerges and they can close the gap that separates them.
Many American players don't exhibit that look of a can’t miss, straight to the top shouting talent. They have what Talentprojekt founder Mark Dillon calls 'whispering talent.' The term refers to players that are otherwise talented, but often missed or overlooked because:
- Talent is just not recognized;
- Talent is not yet fully developed;
- A player has not yet caught up physically with other players their age;
- A player has not had the advantages or the level of coaching and environment that other high perform.
