THE DREAM FACTORY by Ryan Baldi, Polaris Publishing, 2021.  What better book to feature than one that focuses on the behind-the-scenes stories of English football academies.   The book doesn't disappoint with Baldi unwrapping a world unknown to many.  His penchant for detail and his journalistic instincts make the book a must-read.  Especially if you have any investment in player development or English football.
