I don’t care what team game we play, headers & volleys, 2 touch, cards or Rock Paper Scissors. If we lose and your response is “it’s just a game” I will never take you seriously or play with you ever again.!
Last words from my son before bed tonight..
“what if they treat me like saka. I’m just like him and we both play for arsenal too. I don’t think I want to play for England, will you talk to them if they ever ask me”
My heart is broken.. shattered and broken 💔
The problem with demanding equal game time for kids in football is that it punishes the better players & limits their chances to improve, even worse fast forward 3 years, you have a generation of people not just players! who feel entitled to things they don’t deserve
I’m curious how many Academy coaches could work with grassroots players & be successful or even last a full season, not released from academy grassroots lads, I’m talking the average kid that plays Sunday league football.
It would be a steep learning curve let me tell you.!
the fa must be sweating - fast tracking all these coaches and they’re getting sacked quickkkk
it’s almost as if you can’t cheat the process of developing competence…
So the FA has announced that the use of the words “Academy” and “development Centre” isn’t allowed unless you meet their proper criteria. No more Sunday clubs or rip off showcase teams calling themselves an academy!
now time to regulate this 1-2-1 coaching scam!
Reading a lot of parents worries and concerns about their kids futures in academies. Worried because clubs are only recruiting bigger athletic players and slowly releasing smaller technical players. Coach or not, I feel obligated to tell a few truths about what the system is
Grass roots coaches! don’t be discouraged by ungrateful piss taking parents that expect you to be uber drivers for their kids, don’t pay for kit or subs & have never said thank you! Remember it’s not the kids fault, they’re the reason we do this! Football appreciates you! ❤️⚽️
