A quarter of a century has passed since the J-League, a professional football league, was established in Japan and Japanese football has continuing to grow, yet many professional football players have a big difficulties with "second career" after they retire as active players. That is not only an issue in Japan, and it is also a problem of the football world. It is very important to pre-consider future possibilities and which kind of educational environment one should prepare for prior to starting a professional career. After the disastrous result of the European Championship in 2000, the German football association (DFB) had established a new scheme, which cooperates professional football clubs and the elite schools approved by DFB, to discover and develop new talents. It was a huge revolution for German football, and it shows a significant improvement. This could be a very helpful reference for the Japanese football world. Author deliberates on how to advance the school education at the state of "zero carrier", before starting a "first career" as a football professional player in Japan.
