Nike Academys first stage of training saw our talented players dropped off at Manchester Uniteds Carrington training ground for a weekend of full-on physical and mental action. As soon as the lads stepped off the coach they got a real taste of life as a pro footballer.
Uniteds ultra-experienced first team coach; Rene Meulensteen kicked things off with some intensive drills. By the time it came to the session warm-down, the Academy boys knew it was going to be a seriously tough weekend
As well as counter-attacking drills, fast-paced small-sided games and tactical awareness lessons, the Academy boys were also schooled on what makes a well-rounded footballer.
Mental training expert Jamie Edwards got their minds focused on how to maintain a flawless attitude. Can I get myself into the frame of mind when Ive been at my best? And if I can, then I can do it again and again…
The Nike Academy trainees returned to London on Sunday, knowing theyll need to put everything on the line to edge closer to a professional contract.

“Little America” describes the prominent American influence in Londons Mayfair and more particularly, Grosvenor Square. The history of the US political presence in this Georgian terraced square dates back to the late 1700′s when the new United States’ first envoy to Great Britain, John Adams, first took residence on a corner of the square. This was the first “embassy”. The next US embassy was where the current Canadian embassy is located before finally taking over a new purpose built facility opposite in the late 1960′s. During the Second World War, Dwight D Eisenhower used number 20 Grosvenor Square as his HQ and there followed a prominent build up of Americans posted to the area. The nearby church just round the corner features a plaque commemorating it’s main use during the conflict as seeing many American soldiers worship there. On a more cultural note, two next-door houses nearby on Brook Street saw the musical minds of George Handel and Jimi Hendrix residing within their narrow 18th century interiors. Further on the imposing Charing Cross railway station looms over a discrete townhouse that once saw Benjamin Franklin living there for a long while. Other points of note are the church where Theodore Roosevelt was married and the park on Grosvenor Square which contains memorials to Eisenhower, Franklin D Roosevelt, the Eagle Squadron and the more recent 9/11 Memorial garden. The square is home to many diplomatic residences but it’s strong US connections led to the area getting it’s nickname during the Second World War.

LaRouchePAC Presents: 1932

To Govern a Republic, One Must Know the Minds That Created It.

“…while a nation goes speculation crazy the people neglect to think of fundamental principles.”

These were the words of Franklin Roosevelt in the months leading into the Democratic National Convention of 1932. Roosevelt knew that the fight for the United States Presidency was not simply a game of political machines and punditry, but that this coming fight demanded a leader who understood the historic enemy of the United States and the founding principles of the nation.
