Fito takes pride in making a tremendous impact in the lives of so many young soccer players by opening the doors to the right opportunity. One of the things that distinguishes World Talent Group from other organizations in the business of talent scouting is that the company takes a long-term view when it comes to investing in a player. World Talent Group has made significant investments in youth systems to help develop and identify future soccer stars from a very young age. Some of the youth systems World Talent Group works with in various countries in Latin America and Europe start with boys from the age of 8 years old. The youth systems that are under direct supervision and management of World Talent Group operate under the highest standards of modern physical, intellectual, and health development standards. To achieve success, Fito makes sure the following is ticked every time talent is identified:
1. Develop a clear list of objectives and expectations as to the individual’s potential and then accordingly compliment and reinforce the areas that need to be strengthened.
2. Always put individual players first. World Talent Group focuses all its efforts on providing the individual the opportunity to develop to the highest level.
3. Make the selected candidates have a clear understanding of what it takes to be successful as a professional soccer player and help them comprehend the expectations that a team will have of their contribution to the success of the team.
