I was speaking to Lincoln Phillips yesterday. He said initial membership fee is $1 (TT). There will be an interim board. Once they have a fair number of coaches registered, elections will take place and a proper membership fee will be agreed. He said when he joined NSCAA there were around 200 coaches, now membership is 72,000 and its the largest coaches association in the world. He also formed a black coaches committee.I'd like to suggest that if the coaches association is to be taken seriously, then that $1 initial membership fee is a joke. The NSCAA IS $75. per year and the membership is actually more like 35,000 (not 72,000) but yes they are the world's largest coaching organization. The NSCAA/ Black Soccer Coaches Committee has a membership of 500 plus black coaches from around the world. Membership fees does two things from the onset, provides a budget for administration and operations of the association and supports the programs that provide benifits to the associations members. I have been a member of the NSCAA for almost 15 years and when my renewal notice comes in the mail I don't even think twice about renewing because of the tremendous value I have derived from being a participating member of the NSCAA. I believe that this would be a great move for coaches in T&T.
Lincoln has high hopes, but he never over estimates the Trini mentality! He knows there will be many critics and not all coaches will join. But he hopes if he can get enough groundswell going, a coach will be disadvantaged if he doesn't join.
Really hope this takes off, as its needed just as much as a players association.
Does this mean that RL will be able to stay at home and still get his full certification?RL would be better off going to do his EUFA badge. With his professional playing experience he could start at a higher level course than what they will be offering. For professional development purposes he'd be better off putting himself among other post professional players who are making the transition from playing to coaching. This could also give him more possible options to get on board with a pro club in Europe, that's where he would cover more ground in his development as a coach.
I've seen and used many of these types of training exercies as well. Drills are an antiquated methodology that was used to develop or reinforce technical aspects; modern player development involves game-like sessions where the training is realistic and relavant although the focus is on technical aspects. I'm certain that what you saw Holland doing was no drill nor the "technical quality" look anything like that video...My focal point again was not the training exercise/drill, but the poor "technical quality" on display for a NATIONAL TEAM and it should not be put out for public viewing.The main observation I made was pertaining to the "technical quality" for the national team level and not necessarily the drills (players at this level should not even be doing drills anyway). I"m getting the impression that the technical ability is at an acceptable standard for national level players. Maybe I should have just watched the video and stupesssss.
Why should they not be doing drills? I have seen Holland & Guus Hiddink Australia do the same drill. Interested to hear your explaination!
Let us give the coach credit for seeing a weakness of TNT football at all levels and at least working on it, this drill if YOU would understand calls for a lot of concentration not just passing.I can call the whole national senior team including the overseas players that cannot pass the football,and even some of you who tried to make a national team in your time did not make.This is a reflection of our lack of proper development,So why pressure the kids when WE RAN away and now pelting stones for a claim to FAME.They played in a World Cup with heart and soul.With all due respect no one is pelting stones for a claim to fame. All I ask is why post that video? I does not reflect well for the coach nor the players. Look at Ragga's post and you will understand the points of concern that some of us have expressed. Look at Elan's post and you will understand that comment pertains to the organization of the shooting drill;it's not realistic nor applicable for players at this level. If this is the way players are being trained, they are being trained to get licks. What is the standard of expectation
-all ah allyuh who have ah little badge ,and went ah little coaching course ,and coach some little jokey team alas that make allyuh experts on football ,i will take my leave and let all yuh experts pass the judgment ,ah set ah blasted waggonists
BS...you really think men can't make an assessment from these clips...please!!! You must have no clue as to the level of football and football compentencies some people on this board are exposed to. Again...this is a poor standard for a U-20 NATIONAL TEAM
context is everything,if zidane playing with some children and it have a clip where a little boy hit him a beat and he fall down is the little boy better than him? no more than likely he playing around,you aint ask if this was after a game if they were just doing a light drill because it aint have all the players you aint ask nothing you just ride in on yuh competent horse and start to judge ,cool out and form opinions after u get all the facts i a'int lying boy with the amount of know it alls on this site trini football should be in much better shape, like allyuh is seer men boy allyuh does see little clips, dont know the context and pass allyuh judgement ,BS...you really think men can't make an assessment from these clips...please!!! You must have no clue as to the level of football and football compentencies some people on this board are exposed to. Again...this is a poor standard for a U-20 NATIONAL TEAM
Good post,this drill needs lots of practice,if they have now started it will look that way,no hard feelings.We talking about the quality of the passing (technique)...this exercise requires the players to play passes within a range of 5-8 yards...come on man...what you mean by " if they have just started it will look that way"
This is a U-20 National team you looking at...I know 10 year old kids who could execute this exercise with they eyes closed and still have better quality....THE TECHNICAL QUALITY ON DISPLAY IN THESE EXERCISES IS VERY POOR FOR A U-20 NATIONAL TEAM.
I think Shaka right. It does not strike me as Latas being ah Trainer or technician. It seems he need to learn to implement proper tactics and learn how to adjust those tactics in the game. He need to do he USSF B and A license or his NSCAA Advanced National and then His Premier. The Premier might be what he really need.I could pull some strings to get him accepted to the next course they offering in January in Florida.
Prerequisites: NSCAA Advanced National Diploma or USSF "A" License or English UEFA "A" License
Note: Applicants must apply for the premier diploma and acceptance is not guaranteed.
The Premier Diploma is the pinnacle of the Residential Academy offerings. It is a 50-hour course designed to teach advanced methodology with full-sided soccer (11 v. 11) as its focal point.
Coaches are provided a course curriculum. The course content includes a thorough examination of different systems of play, including: technical and tactical implications; 11 v. 11 topics, including coaching in the game, phase play and shadow play; nutrition; sportsmanship/ethics; and a leadership component including team management, personal development and the coach's role in game development in his/her community.
Eligibility for the Premier Diploma requires the applicant be an NSCAA member and have the Advanced National Diploma, the USSF “A” License or English UEFA "A" License. Candidates with a "Distinguished Pass" in the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma will automatically qualify for entrance into the Premier Diploma. Additional factors, such as coaching and playing background, community leadership and contribution to the game, are considered. Applications are screened by the Director of Coaching and enrollment is limited for each course.
I will say its because he's black that's who vex could vex
is not coz he black
is because mike ashley is a twat
Thank you... they didn't have to give him the job. If his race was an issue they they wouldn't have hired him in the first place. Is like Tenorsaw (ah think it was) say in the EPL thread, they fancy theyself to be a 'big club' so they letting their deluded assessment of their worth affect their sound judgment.
If he could get the axe for this reason then Latas could get axe too Yes, it appears that Mario was indeed a late bloomer. I talking about when he was at West Virginia Weslyan with Thomasos. They won national championship with their school. I still say the 2 ah them was good enough to at least play Shell cup. I saw Moreno from Tranquil and yes he was a very good player. He went to Farleigh Dickinson for 1 year and then returned to TT. Then I saw him playing with P'boro in the QPS. He still had all the skills but was now mellow. He hair cut short. I almost did not make him out. If he had the desire and really wanted it, I have no doubt he probably would have made it.Agreed...Mario was a late bloomer once he decided to come out of the goal he developed very quickly into a very talented player and blossomed even more when he went to WVW. Harrison was quick but no where as talented as Thomasos...that is certainly one of the finest talents to come out of T&T. We lost a whole generation of talented players through migration...soccer scholarships was like going pro back in the 80's.
Is this Franklyn Simpson aka Nat who use to play for Peterboro and then went to play with Paragon for a little while? Coops?Yes,He also coached Peterboro later on with Chicken as their manager,he was a good friend of mine always giving each other chat.
The last time i met him was when i went to Grenada some years ago as Coach with our national team to play in the Shell Cup,i was surprise to see he was living there and involved in Football big time.The tough part was we were beaten only for the Strike squad to reverse that in the finals and give us the first ever Shell Cup. From that time i look at these island teams differently,they have nothing to loose and they going to hurt you,when they beat teams like T&T is like they win the WC,nothing they do doh surprise me we does undersate those teams too much.
The truth is that this is the best option for her because she was academically inepth ...under prepared for college and although she spent 2 years there she could not go on to a 4 year school because of her grades and lack of credits to transfer...(there were a lot of colleges interested in her after she finished her eligibility at YHC). This is a serious issue and the people who handling these players need to have a better plan in place to make sure that these players are prepared to handle the academic demands of college.There is nothing wrong with the fact that Miss Cordner is putting her schooling on hold. The female professional is a different ball of wax compared to the mens. I see nothing wrong with playing professionally now and then going back and finishing off school. If its is feasible as far as her schedule goes online courses are an option. maybe she does not know what she wants to do in school (life) and is seizing the opportunity (again nothing wrong that) .. heck I am 47 and still have no idea what i want to do....lmfao... Anyways Miss Cordner (aka Ya Ya), do yourself and all of your mates proud as we all are routing for your success.It's sad she never graduated from college. Hope she makes the best of this.
She can always go to college on her own or get some grant to do so. Was she in college and never finished?
She went to Young Harris College for at least two years.

hmm talk about peaking or pecking early..we need some fitness, conditioning and endurance ... but that sounds like a trini chorus both men and women team ..we go work on fitness and move with player talent..play de fitball.. what about commitment and coaching technique... hmmm preparation basic technique and tactical training...try it in the trini chorus and we might just get somewhere lads ( meh bunji voice youll coaches still small in de makin while mexico and the whole of the caribbean moving forward)..ah mean Coaches or cockroaches....I mentioned in another post that developing players is hard work and this is the easiest thing to do...get players fit. Why work on this component at this stage where there is no competition to be played...you already spent two years working on this and the results were evident, however, you can get players fit working on technical; tactical and functionsl aspects of the game...you ever take a good look at our players both men and women ability to head the ball or serve crosses???
1979...this is arguably one of the most memorable intercol games ever. John D losing 3-0 with less than 10 minutes left and the come back to tie 3-3. Fans stormed the field (CIC Ground) and mas start; the overtime could not be played so the game was rescheduled for the Oval. This was game 2 of the trilogy... JD won the first game 2-0 in the Oval, but Fatima protested that the ref played 45 minutes in the first half instead of 40 and JD scored somewhere between the 40-45 min mark. Fatima won the third game 1-0 I believe.
What is greatest intercol jump up yuh ever experience?
John D vs Fatima score 3-3 '76
Rell pan on de streets after.
Belmont fifth demension
Even Starlift sen ah small side
from the horses mouthIf I was him I'd do the same thing...collect big money, lime and drink rum and coconut water<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/4srdB_ZvAEg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/4srdB_ZvAEg</a>
It is hard work to develop players and it takes a lot of committment and headache...so I would be the Director and let the local wannabe coaches fight up and get pong on the SW board while I enjoy my retirement in the tropics instead of cold scandanavia
CK 1 you hit the nail on the head my friend and you are right I should not have to be eloquant however I choose to be. Just to let you know I am supporter of the National program and the players and staffers who toil with-in it. Politics are always going to be involved as you and I both know. However I will say this that there is always "three" sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in between. So when players and or parents complain about issues at hand just remember that we only have one side of the story... You know what really disapoints me about all the support that everyone is talking about on-line is that not one SW.NET supporter and or family member of a player other than my wife and I showed up to give our support to the team and its management staff for this tournament.I am certain that many here want to support but are TIRED of the slackness involving the TTFF and its approach or lack thereof to football across the board...if we all choose to be eloquent with our position then we end up condoning the slackness.
Talk the talk however walk the walk my friends ....
Cheers 19
I somehow get a sence that you are a supporter of the players and their efforts because you appear to be close to the program...hense the reason for your eloquence. However, we should not have to praise players for effort and sacrifice at the NATIONAL LEVEL. This should be expected from anyone who desires to don a national team shirt...eloquence is another way of accepting what you don't really want to accept. We expect more from the perspective of development of the players in all aspects of the game. I don't believe anyone on this board is critical of the players efforts or sacrifices especially for the ones who were left out at the last minute to include players who should not even be in either of those teams.I am glad men like you and I not drinking that watered down cool aid with no sugar
That does taste rel stink
Gents I hope you are not incinuating that I am drinking watered down cool aid
Nowhere have I mentioned that we are fighting hard. That is other forumites and or Shabazz himself. I am talking from a pure result standpoint and that is all. Am I naive to think that just because the result were close does that mean we have improved our tactical and technical abilities. No..I am trying to be as eloquant and positive as possible to these young ladies who have put in the sacrifice with-in this program. As to your comments about women playing a physical game like men do. I think you all are aware of the difference in genetic dictates the difference however trust me those who are truly familiar with the type of physical game that women play it is 100% dirtier than the mens game will ever be.
Nyman 18 what does the 90's football with the countries you have metioned compared to football today in respects to the womens game.Just so I understand your thought process?
happy friday peeps....
It does not make sence to creep the wrong way and have to start creeping again after you start walking. This is what the US is struggling with in the women's game and Canada had to make the same changes from kick and run and relying solely on the athleticism of the players, both programs are now learning how to play the game. Someone in another post ask if we expect Barcelona football...YES...because that is football in the simplest form and it can be taught to little kids. If you noticed how Mexico and Brazil for example and even Germany have developed their programs in such a short time...the players have been taught how to play while their physical qualities were also being developed. my point is this: every coach has a philosophy and they live or die by it, however, having worked with many players and coaches for over 20 years, you have to be able to teach players how to play the game both technically and tactically in order to have measured improvement and sustained standards of play and results. We have had many of our players attend US schools but that has not been capatalised on. When they go to school here, they learn how to train hard, lift weights, time management, personal accountability, comptitiveness, technical and tactical functional aspects of the game etc. and that should be used to help the local coaches move the program along.Palos ...are you therefore suggesting that we move on from Pellurud ? or should we continue ?
Continue of course.
We only NOW beginning to LEARN how to creep
When we ready to walk...then move on. Maybe in a couple years.
Sooo...the TTFF is promise salaries based on their submitted budget before approval from the government. So this is why in the past Jack would turn around and blame the government for no money. See how it becomes clear?This leads me to wonder if the TTFF is now a government agency. Are the coaches and players now government employees? What does the government gain by pumping all this money to the TTFF et al? Who gets the revenue from the games that are hosted...the government or the TTFF
In one breath, Anil saying that Latas being paid "the big bucks" to get these results. Then in the next sentence, he saying the budget not approved and is all inclusive of salaries and development but he know the governemtn will not be able to cover 100%.
