*Follow Thijs, one of our journalists, as he continues his journey to become a professional footballer in just one year, in the sixth episode of GOING PRO. ▶️
With the January transfer window in full swing, Thijs embarks on a quest to find a club, successfully setting up his transfermarkt.be profile in the process!
His agent secures him trials at three professional clubs: SK Beveren, KMSK Deinze, and FCV Dender. Thijs manages to impress some well-known figures in Belgian football and even earns a 14-day trial at one of the clubs! 🔄🎓
However… 😬
Training doesn’t only happen on the pitch. The mounting pressure Thijs places on himself becomes overwhelming. It’s time to seek guidance from Rudy Heylen, psychologist at Club Brugge, renowned for his work with athletes like Wout Van Aert. 🏋️♂️🧠
We end the episode with a meet-up with Thijs’ agent, evaluating his performance at the trial and exploring potential opportunities ahead.
