How One of The Top Academies In The World Handles Player Development

Since 1912, Athletic Club Bilbao has played solely with players deemed by its own criteria to be from the Basque Country region of Spain. Even while drawing talent from such a small area, the club is still one of only three founding members of the Spanish top league that has never been relegated, alongside FC Barcelona and Real Madrid; a true testament to their ability to develop top level talent and make the most of homegrown player's abilities. As Athletic Club are using the 360Player sports platform within their academy's internal operations, we had the opportunity to sit down for an exclusive interview with Andoni Bombín who is responsible for training and methodology within the organization. Here he speaks about his development philosophy and how the club thinks about developing talent in a larger context. Want to learn more about 360Player? Visit 360Player.com
