https:\/\/fifa.fans\/3yCzZNz<\/a>) embarked on two years ago, talent development is dependent upon good-quality coaches being in charge of youth teams, and upon education and the knowledge possessed by coaches. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen that the countries that excel at football are the ones with the best training systems and the best coaches,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why we need this programme \u2013 to make football more competitive around the world.\u201d<\/p>\nSpeaking at the event, Scott O\u2019Donnell, an Australian coach who has worked extensively in south-east Asia, said there was a need to make coach education available around the world: \u201cLots of the coaches I\u2019ve worked with in India, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore are still in India, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore. Maybe they lack the confidence to leave. With the Coaching Development Programme, they will have the chance to work with other people in other countries, to develop a network and access opportunities. That can only be good for football in south-east Asia, because there is so much potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
Striving for more<\/strong><\/p>\nWith its five FIFA World Cup\u2122 titles and lofty reputation for producing legendary coaches, you could be forgiven for thinking that the need for coaching development would not be high on Brazil\u2019s list of priorities. Confounding that view, Mauricio Marques, the Brazilian Football Association\u2019s (CBF) Training Coordinator, said he needed no convincing about the usefulness of the programme: \u201cWhen we first started thinking about entering the programme, we thought: \u2018We\u2019ve got five stars on our jersey and we bring through the best players. Why should we get involved?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, when we joined the programme, it caused us to stop and think. Even when you\u2019re at the pinnacle of world football, you always need to think about how you can improve. We always strive for excellence. It\u2019s one of the things that motivates us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marques is aware, however, that quality coaches cannot be confined to the top of the pyramid, even in the world\u2019s most successful footballing nation, with its 210 million fans: \u201cIt\u2019s our objective at the CBF, with the support of FIFA, to make that quality trickle down, to make it more democratic, and make it more accessible on every pitch of ours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drawing on some figures to back up his point, he said: \u201cLet\u2019s imagine that we have 20 coach educators giving ten or so courses across the year and that there are 40 coaches on each course. Those educators would be reaching out to 400 coaches a year. Let\u2019s say they\u2019re working with 100 youngsters a year, then we\u2019re talking about 40,000 children a year, in Brazil alone. If you put it like that to all the confederations involved in FIFA\u2019s Coaching Development Programme, it\u2019s huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
A global goal <\/strong><\/p>\nA former player and coach turned educator and consultant, England\u2019s John Peacock stressed the value of the development programmes. \u201cIt\u2019s a question of both quantity and quality,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to keep working on the quality of coaches and, even more importantly, on coach educators, who are the people developing these courses and working with players both young and adult, male and female. Ultimately, the aim is to try and develop the game in every country and take it to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat FIFA is doing in supporting educational programmes around the world is really positive. The big task facing us is to get these messages out there, and to get support through these programmes so we can develop the best players and coaches for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
