Once unable to compete with the Mexican #soccer league, Pachuca, a professional soccer club northeast of Mexico City, has taken a disciplined approach to youth development. Its academy at the University of Football and Sports Sciences targets young players it can groom, instead of relying on expensive older players. It also focuses heavily on education, nutrition, sports science and consistent training at every level, from age 10 and up. “We bring in the best, say, 14-year-old Mexicans, surround them with the best elements to develop, and that way we can aspire to have the best players in Mexico,” said Marco Garcés, Pachuca’s sporting director, a key figure in modernizing the club. At the academy, players’ days are scheduled down to the minute. Most wake by 6 a.m., have 5 minutes to get out of bed and 15 minutes to shower before at least 2 hours of training, 50 minutes of math and 40 minutes of Spanish class, 70 minutes of free time, and so on. They’re in bed by 10 p.m. Each player also follows a tailored diet and visits a nutritionist weekly. @HirvingLozano, the 22-year-old rising superstar of the Mexican national team, attended the academy. He received particular notice in the @FIFAワールドカップ for scoring the only goal in Mexico’s stunning upset of the defending champion, Germany. The boys at the academy hope not only to make the team like Lozano, but also to turn #Mexico into what it has long aspired to be: a soccer powerhouse on the world stage. “I’m chasing my dream, which is to be a professional soccer player,” said Jose Luis Silva, 13, who watched the game against Germany. “I’ve known that since I was 5 or 6.” @janetjarman took this photo of 2 young soccer recruits at the academy training with their coach, Rodrigo Samaniego.
