There is an excellent interview with US former EPL player, Jay DeMerit at the "Now We're Talking Football" podcast that should be listened to by young people (and their parents) contemplating a professional football career. Although he is obviously talking from a US-centric and personal perspective his career pathway could contain many useful lessons and help to avoid some of the pitfalls.

A native of Green Bay where the Packers are more known than the sport at which he excelled, Jay DeMerit is a United States international that played in every match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and became the first signing for Vancouver Whitecaps once the franchise joined Major League Soccer after six seasons with Watford FC, where he served as club captain. - See more at: http://www.beyondthepitch.net/podcasts/edition/index.cfm/beyond-the-pitch/2013/06/10/jay-demerit/#sthash.Tn8BWCMh.dpuf
