ALT Kopa 2023 award for good kid who's growing into a good man. Happy for him. It's a nice moment for all those teachers and coaches who have been part of the journey. Good people who kept it all fun. Jude Bellingham's father, Mark

ALT “For the first time, at that moment it was the little me that felt it, I am like "oh, they see me". Not the football player, not the accolades, I felt human. They were crying for me. I felt it for the first time then and the little me, for the first time, got fed with love.” Thierry Henry on parenting a talented child

ALT “I never saw my son as being the next Liverpool superstar … he’s learning, he's having experiences, he’s making friends, he’s keeping off the streets … If he goes on to have a career somewhere else then great, but if not it’s ok and he’s taken all of those learnings into whatever he does next”. Jamie Carragher on parenting a talented child

ALT "I'm proud of whatever direction he chooses. Whether he sticks with the game or not … Being a parent, you always want to be the protector and guider of them and teach them skills that they will need in life when you're not around. And so that's the most important thing about being a parent." Tiger Woods on parenting a talented child

ALT “I believe every parent is just trying to do what is best for their child. I just urge parents to take a step back and gain perspective. What do you really want for your child’s life? Is it their dream or is it becoming yours? Be a parent first. That’s what your child needs. Let kids be kids. Allow them to build that drive from within.” Fraser Franks on parenting a talented child
