Episode description
Author Ryan Baldi is joined by Tony Mount, the father of Chelsea and England superstar Mason Mount, to discuss what it's like to be the parent of a player at an elite academy, the benefits and pitfalls of the system from a parent's perspective, and why clubs and governing bodies need to do more to prepare parents for unsolicited approaches and, potentially, offers of six-figure inducements from agents.
