Nathan Gill, Senior Professional Scout and Talent ID Coach at Arsenal FC Academy, speaks as someone from the community and his message is direct - we need to do more to bring ourselves to the forefront and bang on the door.

He acknowledges the door has not always been open for South Asians in football, with negative stereotypes, a lack of reference points and other ongoing barriers.

However, Nathan also believes we have become a little disillusioned with the game and too comfortable with the small space we currently occupy. The talent is there, he references a PFA event a couple of years ago with around 100 academy kids of South Asian heritage from across the country, and his point is clear, there can be so many more if we are unafraid to be vulnerable, put ourselves in the window and support each other along the way.

Nathan also calls out the importance of platforms like Brown Town Rising in shining a light on what exists in the South Asian football landscape and how we get to where we need to be.

It's that time of year when young players are being released from academies. Nathan Gill, Senior Professional Scout and Talent ID Coach at Arsenal FC Academy, has a message for every single one of them.

You are not alone - 99% of young academy players get released at some point, whether that's at 9s, 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s or 18s, or even after making it to the first team. Everyone's journey is different and nothing is linear.

Nathan points to the proof. Declan Rice was released by Chelsea at 14. Eberechi Eze was released by Arsenal and moved through Fulham and Millwall before landing at QPR. Both are now Premier League champions worth hundreds of millions, just over a decade on from those moments.

Football is a game of opinions, not facts. The end of your chapter at one club is not the end of your story.

Watch the full interview on Brown Town Rising's YouTube channel for more advice from Nathan on what you can do after being released and much more.

Nathan Gill, Senior Professional Scout and Talent ID Coach at Arsenal FC Academy, says it plainly.

Around 0.02% of the population will become a professional footballer. Around 0.2% to 0.5% will become a lawyer. Both are less than a percent of the population, but only one of those dreams gets shut down at the dinner table.

Why do we tell kids to chase law but not football?

Nathan's message to young players and the parents backing them; set your standards high.

Football gives you attributes and life skills that go far beyond the game itself. Education and football can go hand in hand.

A reframe every aspiring young baller needs to hear.

Full interview with @false9elitecoaching out now on Brown Town Rising's YouTube channel.

September ( birthday month🎂) has been off to a great start…I have been very excited about this.

I have been accepted on to the Mentor Development Programme by the FA. 🎉🎉

This gives me a chance to really be ‘the role model I once needed’ in a coaching capacity. 🥰

A lot of learning will be needed to go on but thats what I love to so is learn to improve myself and what better way to do it. Alongside a group of coaches who are just as passionate about football as me.🤓

I look forward to connecting with many individuals who will help me on my bespoke journey and just take in what i can.

Watch out there will be a BTS coming soon just bear with me on the editing front 🤓
