Episode 369: Head of Scouting for FC Barcelona, Ruben Alcaraz

Today we're joined by the Head of Scouting for FC Barcelona, Ruben Alcaraz! Ruben was the first guest for season 2 of the podcast, and he definitely did not disappoint! We get to hear about Rubens unique background before he got into the scouting and front office role… Like many of us, Ruben wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do early in his professional career, and so he simply took life one day at a time! He spent some time performing freestyle basketball tricks around Spain, he opened up a basketball shop (only for it to close down shortly after), and he even secured himself a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records! We also talked about: How he identifies talent as a scout The differences between scouting young players & pro players How he keeps himself organized during the season & much more!
