Julian Dowe started his career as a professional footballer. As he was breaking junior goal scoring records in the Salford leagues he was playing in he became highly coveted by the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United. After a brief spell at United, he signed as schoolboy for Everton, then went onto Manchester City where he started training and playing with first team squad at 15. After a period playing for Wigan, he became the youngest British player to sign professional contract in Spain at age 18. There were a few more moves but a persistent knee injury saw him retiring from the game at 26.
But it is not just his time spent ‘in’ football that we are discussing today, but the time he has spent ‘for’ football. As Julian shares how he came up with idea and has developed the resource platform Football4Football.com that supports players of all levels on what he calls the four pillars of the game.
I think this is a fascinating story and I am sure that you agree, so I want to thank Julian for sharing it with me. It wasn’t a matter of everything he touches turns to gold, there are lessons from success and from failure. There is spotting opportunities, and facing and overcoming challenges. There is learning from your own experiences and there is surrounding yourself with people who can provide their experiences knowledge, talent and skills. But most of all there is doing the work.
So thanks to Julian Dowe for taking the time to walk through his story, insights and perspective and the lessons that he has learned on how to continue to get better. Make sure you head over to Football4Football.com to check out what he is talking about.
