Finding Soccer Talent in the USA | Wolves Academy: Golden Chance

I handled location audio on Golden Chance, the documentary following Wolverhampton Wanderers’ effort to find American soccer talent for their Academy. It’s a compelling documentary premise: European club scouts working in an American youth sports landscape that operates very differently from the European football pathway.

The documentary moves across multiple states and venues — youth clubs, training sessions, tryouts, and family homes. Run-and-gun ENG is the core approach, with a bag rig that can keep up with fast-moving soccer players and shift quickly to intimate home interviews. The variety of locations and subjects requires the sound team to be constantly adapting.
