Nigerian Coaches, You’re responsible for your woes

[Bobo Dan]

NIGERIAN coaches should blame themselves for the poor recognition accorded them in the country.

Head of Research National Institute for Sports (NIS) Dr. Oludayo Ogundare who made the submission Monday in Lagos, said most of the coaches are cowed by their employers, a situation which he said makes it difficult for them to call a spade by its name.

Some of them she continued, cheapen themselves by promising to deliver even when it is glaring that prevailing conditions might make it impossible for them to deliver.

“It is not as if foreign coaches are super human, you may know what to debut if you cant angur your point to prove you can do it and continue your employer, no body will take you serious,” she said.

Ogundare who insisted that there is nothing substandard about the knowledge impacted on local coaches opined with only those prepared to go the extra mile, and who know there worth will gain acceptance and respect.

THE LEARNED LADY HAS A POINT


Witness C3's nauseating willingness to work under an FC. To help themselves, local coaches need to establish a union to outline, among other things, the kind of behavior they expect from the NFA. And if the NFA fails to meet those conditions, the incumbent IC could vacate the post certain no other IC would go behind him to claim the job.

Nigerian coaches already have a coaches association, but unfortunately they are so disunited that it hasn't helped much.

THANKS, mystic, I SUSPECTED THEY ALREADY HAD UNION


I suspected also that it was a paper tiger. They need to give it new life.

Maybe I don't want to leave them where they are - help in my own little humble way to pull them up.
