I understand he can make more money and for a longer period of time with soccer as a profession, but sadly he is already too old to be getting into soccer if he wants to make it professionally. The truly great ones get snatched up by a club by 10-12. Idk what to say about this though haha Good luck to him.

Yeah, being a good athlete in soccer is different than a good athlete in football. Soccer requires a lot of finesse and skill that is developed over 10+ years as a youth where as football requires natural strength and athleticism over finesse.
So if this kid hasn't had the academy training, not sure why he'd be pursuing this route.
