Falcons & Coaching

Post by Oguleftie »

1. You cannot change things for the better by being patriotic; call a spade a spade. If you think players are not good say so & detail out the issues; if players don't like it, then they should not be national team players. A player is more likely to seek to make needed improvements by admitting the deficiencies. Carrying bad players forward as bad players & remaining bad players is sweeping things under the rug.

2. Someone correct me here. I think when Falcons had no coach Amunike was available. Understanding most of where to get better players and how to get them is what he had done with male players (teens/youth/young adults) and more likely to translate same to female players; if not made the coach to accomplish that, at least as an assistant would have done a lot of good to the Falcons. Opportunity missed due to bad echelon of football management.

3. A foreign coach that achieves something with good or very good players is likely not to do same with bad players; one that achieves more or a lot more with less or far less is likely to do a better job.

4. One person should not manipulate the hiring of a national team coach. Someone that does not understand good & effective football should not be making such a decision, and Pinnick falls in this category.

The biggest mistake we always make is to think that the main problem with the Falcons is just coaching. That is absolute hogwash. We as a nation are not serious about football as we still view it as a pastime, while others are getting serious. Countries like Norway, China, France, England, USA and now even South Africa have (or in the case of South Africa) or are setting up development programmes for their female football. There are academies and structures where girls get coaching and imbibe a soccer philosophy at and early age. In the UK girls and boys play for the same academies until the age of 10 when they now play based on gender. They are currently focusing on the production of technical, tactical players from a young age while we are still doing the same things we were doing 20 years e.g. stumbling on talent, many of which do not get access to coaching till their mid to late teens. These countries will continue to increase the gap until we take this seriously and i'm not just talking about the female game.
