Coach Fatai Smith has explained the need for all African coaches to take up the FCAAN coaching program so that they can know and adapt to the modern style of coaching for player development and football community growth.
FCAAN is a platform where coaches are trained with the idea founded in the US and birthed by a consultant with the Nigeria Football Federation in the person of Doctor Terry with various courses ranging from grassroots to Pro Level, Sport247.ng understands.
“We have so many quality coaches now in Nigeria because FCAAN has been able to train over 45,000 coaches all over Africa and the just concluded course was so organized that we were able to impact a lot of knowledge to young coaches who were there to experience it,” he stated.
“The methodology is modern, an upgrade of what each and every coach need to know to guide the young ones through the four key pillars of the game.”
“If you don’t have that and you don’t know the ways how to do a lot of those things, you will be struggling.”
The whole idea is for Nigeria and Africans, in general, to be able to train young coaches so that they can handle the national teams and develop young ones right from the grassroots with the modern style of coaching.
“We are just lucky to have such platforms to develop ourselves and our friends, young ones, and to make the football community have the very best of development and coaching education so that at the end of the day, we can have quality players in our national teams to make the country proud.”
“I’m just hoping a lot of our coaches can get into the FCAAN family, get upgraded, and keep developing our young ones in the right way so that we can impact our national team well in the whole procedure of player developments,” he advised.
