I admit I haven't read the story yet but it seems parents are often behind these types of situations. Poor kid will probably be completely fucked mentally as an adult.

5'11 thirteen year-old. OK then.
My kid has just turned 14 and is roughly that.

As much as these early breakthrough stories seem great on the surface, I can’t help but worry for the kid, as this path most often leads to ruin, not glory. Just have to look at the life and career of a similar past American phenom, Freddy Adu.
Genuinely hope he has a much better experience and finds success, however he defines it, of course.
Do we know what footy team he ACTUALLY supports, though??
He'd better be a Blue or he can f off, the little twerp...

Wow. Just when you thought you couldn't be any more out of tune.
Good luck Freddy.
Good luck Freddy.
Right. This is bonkers.Should be illegal for a 13 year old child to be competing with adults at a professional level in a contact sport.
