Nowadays you see so many young kids being scouted for their athletic talents. Whether it is basketball, soccer, football or any other sport, people are always looking for the next best thing.
High school kids are found by these scouts and then put on a pedestal by the media, putting an unbelievable amount of pressure on these young individuals.
These kids either crumble under pressure or they don't work as hard because they think that everything will be given to them.
Hopefully, this doesn't happen to 18-month-old Baerke van der Meij who signed a 10-year professional contract with Dutch club VVV-Venlo.
Although, it has been made clear that the contract is a "symbolic" one, we'll see where this little toddler ends up in ten years.
