He reviews his Transfermarkt profiles as a director of football at Asconsas SK, his FIFA agent license details, and staff and coaching connections, including a recent deal placing a Slovenia U-21 player in Belgium’s top tier. He then addresses whether RickFit is a scam, contrasting RickFit’s upfront fees for players with a 10% commission model on the agency side, and describing a direct trial approach rather than mass open trials. He claims over two years they sent 300-plus players on trials with about a 25% signing rate, and says RickFit was founded in April 2017 with the agency started 5 to 6 months ago, already closing Belgium and totaling 1,500-plus direct club contacts.</description></oembed>
