We need to show a little urgency and enterprise. The US playing antsy. We need to capitalize on their hesitancy

Like I said the only top down that works is on a convertible on a nice day.
If players are constantly late to practice and that's her mantra as the coach, they need to adjust to that, professionalism means being able to adapt and work within a system..
Simply saying your experience was bad means what? What was bad about it, how did she handle the situation? What was said to you that you were offended by?
The person to make the first adjustment is the coach.
It will be great to know what dialogue took place before coming to the consensus that "Roti is Culture". I'm pretty sure that if an intervention took place then more likely than not the notion of "roti is culture" would not be publicly uttered.
If she understand the culture that much then she would know how to "crack down" on punctuality without coming across like "colonial master".
This is not a unique or new revelation in T&T sports.

Like I said, top down do not work.
Why invest at the top when the grassroots is in shambles. We've had decades of observations with the men's team and years of observation with the women's team and yet we continue to purposefully not learn anything.
Here it is stated in no uncertain terms, and I promise we will not take heed.
You cannot have a NP with players who do not know the game.
Our players (both men and women) cannot compete at/in the game, they can only play it.

« on: February 03, 2017, 10:47:02 AM »The mechanics IS technique.
The ability to apply technique to solve a situation is SKILL.
But now we just splitting hairs. I follow you and im sure you follow me.
Technique is the applied action of Mechnanics
You can have great Mechanics, but that does not translate to great technique

Man our standards are very, very, very low. These guys should be looking to coach youth clubs across T&T not spear-heading our WC bid.

What's the purpose of the friendly towards GC qualification and Hex? This is wasting time and money if you're running out players who have 0 future on the field for us.
This dude cannot be serious. So many young players to break in and we courting pensioners?

He is under no pressure, he will take his money and ride out.. David on corruption...
Corruption of what though?
I can't logically conclude that DJW is purposely trying to sabotage this campaign. It benefits no one including his own administration
Tell me that he and his technical committee are incompetent, i could live with that.
What did it benefit JW when he sold out to the US in '89? US is in similar situation as then, so to T&T.

New National Women's Coach
Not sure if this was posted elsewhere.
Carolina Morace has been named Head Coach of the Trinidad and Tobago Women's program. She will be directly in charge of all Women's Program on the Island from what I heard and read.
So that one session recently was her interview or acceptance?
What women's Program do we currently have?

TTFA WINDS DOWN CALENDAR OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association is winding down a hectic schedule of events which saw the local governing body stage several developmental workshops and seminars over the 2016 calendar.
The most recent course was the CONCACAF Level II goalkeeping course which was conducted by CONCACAF instructor Claine Plummer for thirty six participants at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Prior to that, the TTFA in collaboration with Concacaf staged a Club Licensing seminar at the Ato Boldon Stadium in late September.
That seminar was held with the aim of establishing standards and enhancing the environment for club football to advance in the country.
The seminar, which was conducted by Jonathan Martinez, CONCACAF senior manager for club licensing and development, was compulsory for all local Pro League and Super League clubs
The growth of leagues and clubs is directly related to key performance indicators within the areas of infrastructure, sporting, administration, finance, legal and social responsibility. CONCACAF’s club licensing program provides tools aimed at raising the level of professionalism in league and club management.
TTFA Technical Director Muhammad Isa also oversaw the coach education programme and the community grassroots clinics which was sponsored by the Scotiabank Trinidad and Tobago foundation. There were TTFA ‘C’ License courses held and more are being planned for 2017.
In November, FIFA technical development officer Anton Corneal conducted a three-day seminar for local coaching instructors under the Royal Dutch Academy alliance. This was geared towards increasing the knowledge base and improving the practices of local coaching instructors who will in turn train and educate local coaches.
And on the officiating end, twenty-four local elite referees received their certificates of participation in a FIFA Referees Assistance Program (RAP) course held in September.
The referees engaged in a week-long seminar conducted by former FIFA Referee and FIFA instructor Peter Prendergast and fitness instructor Allan Brown of Costa Rica at the San Juan North Secondary.
Earlier in the year, a host of local club representatives and officials attended the first ever FIFA Solidarity Contribution and Training Compensation workshop to be staged in the Caribbean as the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association held the event at Naparima College, San Fernando.
Two presenters from Germany arrived in Port of Spain on Friday evening on the invitation from TTFA President David John-Williams, Attorney-at-Law Jan Schweele of the Schweele Law Office in Berlin,Germany and his colleague Dr Georg Froese.
They conducted a workshop which was aimed at educating locals on the benefits that can be derived from understanding and becoming active in the Solidarity Contribution and Training Compensation process.
Solidarity contribution becomes due on each international transfer of a professional player who is bought out of his contract. A total of 5 % of the transfer fee have to be redistributed to the clubs where the player was registered between the seasons of his 12th and 23rd birthday.
The FA also participated in workshops held overseas by sending representatives to some including the Beach Soccer workshop in Dubai a few weeks ago and the FIFA TMS workshop in Costa Rica in June. The purpose of the 2016 FIFA TMS workshops was to educate members of both associations and clubs in the use of, and about any recent changes to, the FIFA TMS International Transfer Matching System (ITMS).
TTFA President David John-Williams added last week that there will be a two upcoming courses to be staged in collaboration with UEFA including a course for scouts.

Not even a suit. A TTFA (Soca Warriors) Polo tucked in or fitted correctly would have sufficed.
