Check this out about this article about the development of the Swedish game.
"A quiet revolution is taking place in Sweden. The Swedish FA has reformed child and youth coach education. They have translated both national and international evidence based findings into guidelines for coaches and coach educators. The emphasis is on the young person, their perspective, their learning, development and needs. A common problem when presenting evidence based material is that the academic language is not appropriate for the dissemination of information. The language used in the new coach education curriculum ensures that the content is accessible for coaches, parents and coach educators.
“Children and young people who devote themselves heart and soul to football deserves responsible and knowledgeable leaders- We have high goals. A children’s rights perspective and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child are the basis for the wording in our curriculum” Urban Hammar (Swedish FA Head of Coach Education)"

Youth football development is now going beyond merely kicking a ball about. It is also about mental development.
The gap in the football of centres of footballing excellence like Brazil, Uruguay and rising world powers in the game like England, Iceland and Sweden is commitment to the best of their talent. They don't just let them wing it on their own but provide the support and tools to help them advance in the game.
In the UK there are a multiplicity of channels for practising and making it in the game. By the time a kid is 17, they are pretty much ready to be signed up professionally by any of the elite clubs.
