Parents are shaping the careers of football’s youngest stars more than ever — but are they helping or hurting?

After Joe Bellingham’s father confronted Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director, the club banned parents from restricted areas — the so-called “Bellingham Law.” This sparks bigger questions:

- When does parental support become interference?

- Should parents double as managers or agents?

- What risks do kids face when family oversteps?

- Are “Project Mbappé” parents pushing kids too hard, too soon?

- Who really decides when a youngster is ready for first-team football?

In this episode, we dive into the balance between care and control, the hidden pressures of youth football, and what this means for the future of the game.
