Dear Subscriber,
At ALL22, we are more than a network of football scouts: our primary mission is to drive the growth and expansion of American Football on a truly global scale leveraging the collective skills and expertise of our ALL22 Global Network.
Listen (or watch on YouTube) to the latest episode of The Global Football Success Podcast By ALL22 with Max Pircher, a Global Talent with a really inspiring story.
WHY A FOCUS ON GLOBAL TALENTS?
Our goal cannot be achieved without promoting opportunities for global talents to reach their highest potential as global players and fulfill their dreams on the football field.
Regardless of their country of origin there is no bigger dream than playing at the NFL level.
THE IPP PROGRAM:
Right now, the main path for global players to join the NFL is through the International Player Pathway (IPP) program of the NFL.
The players chosen from across the globe get a shot at becoming professional football players at the highest level. They also become global ambassadors for the sport, inspiring others to follow their path.
AN INSPIRING STORY: MAXIMILIAN PIRCHER
With this vision in mind, we're excited to share an amazing story with our community.
Meet Maximilian Pircher, an Italian-born American Football player who's now part of the Detroit Lions' practice squad, all thanks to the IPP program.
What makes Max's story unique is that until 2018, he had not stepped on a football field at all.
He used to play handball. But his life changed when one of his high school teachers took him to a football game in Innsbruck (Austria).
Since then, with a lot of dedication and passion, Max made it onto the IPP Program's shortlist and was eventually chosen by the Los Angeles Rams in 2021.
Now, he's with the Detroit Lions.
FROM GLOBAL TALENT TO THE NFL
As football scouts, we seek out the skills, abilities, and qualities that make great athletes.
One key factor that is often underestimated, in achieving success on the field is mindset.
Our goal is to understand how the right mindset can impact the journey of global players.
The importance of proper mental preparation cannot be overstated—it can be the difference between success and failure.
Between being a talented player and becoming a pro.
To delve deeper into this facet of Max's path to the NFL, we've utilized the TAP Test in partnership with Ryzer.
In our podcast we engage in an in-depth conversation with Max, shedding light on these critical mental attributes.
