GMTM and Europe’s Elite launch football’s first free Online Combine for international athletes – The GMTM Virtual

The year 2020 has presented numerous challenges for athletes and coaches all over the globe. Whether you’re in Europe, North America, South America, or anywhere else in the world, the coronavirus has caused virtually every league to be postponed or to be canceled entirely. It is clear that this global health pandemic has forced many coaches and league leaders to have uncomfortable conversations about the future of football in their area.

For the professional international athlete, 2020 may have to be chalked up to the loss of what would be a “normal season”.

But what impact has the coronavirus and threat to the 2020 football season had on the youth athlete?

We often have discussions about the pro athlete around the world and their season, but the true future of football around the globe lies with the youth. The questions many young athletes during this time have been asking include “How can I continue to get better?” or “How can I continue to compete?” or “How can I potentially gain some exposure in order to achieve some of my goals?”.

Organizations around the world have been pondering these questions and have managed to come up with a variety of solutions.

One comes from the work of GMTM Sports and Europe’s Elite.

Thanks to them, international athletes now have an opportunity to compete in the world’s 1st virtual combine. GMTM Sports is an athlete recruiting platform based in the US that contains a large database of rising athletes and high school football players around the globe.
