I sat on the bench as coach of Naparima College against schools,like st Benidects,Presentation College,St.Augstine,Signal Hill,Arima and San Juan to name a few,nobody came to see me or any of the coaches and the feeling i got every time was electrifying, the support for the kids was so passionate it was like coaching in the EPL,or La Liga,i looked at some of the other school derbies and i understand why kids would want to continue to play at the higher level, with a support like that or even better,the crowds came to see the players at there best,then as a player i have played in some of the best minor leagues in the country and the intensity and the crowds would be mouth watering,then i sat on the bench as coach of W.connection youth team vs a Joe Public or Jablo with these same players who have enjoyed so much support in there growing years,and you can hear a pin fall.I have watched players like Arnold,Jemmot,Whitley and Marvin Oliver all grow up and they would tell you they enjoy playing in front a crowd support rathered than playing professionally with 100 people in attendance.So if we have to succeed in getting the best out of our players and not wanting them to be drawn back to feelings of the SSFL and the Minor leagues, we have to first find a way to draw to crowds, then the player not the player first,that have failed.Any suggestions?
