FORMER national striker Onandi Lowe, one of 43 persons who attended Saturday's orientation for the Advanced Level One Course at the JFF/UTech Coaching School, says the need to give back to the sport motivated him to enrol in the course.

"To be honest, I always love football, so basically if I'm not going to compete (play), might as well I just go coach a team," Lowe said.
"I've done it before... when I coached Rockfort in the Major League and I won the championship 'A' League coach of the year, so I know I have the head for it and it's just a matter of me buckling down and doing what I love," said the towering Lowe, who represented the Reggae
Boyz at the 1998 World Cup in France.
Other former national players who have registered for the six-week course are Clifton Waugh, Donald Stewart, Desmond Smith, Dennis Ebanks and Dennis 'Dago' Gordon.
Current Jamaica player, Lovel Palmer, has also
signed up.
Co-ordinator of the coaching school, Dr Winston Dawes, expressed satisfaction with the interest shown in the second staging of the course.
"I have ambitions that eventually we will have about 500 or 600 coaches at Level One and that all of them will go on to Level Two and Level Three," he said. "It is the deliberate act on our part that we have an introduction to the coaching, the basic sciences, the laws of the game and some sports medicine, so that people understand the human body, and the physiology and get the best out of their players," said Dr Dawes.
He explained that Level Two deals with tactical work, while Level Three will deal with the management.
"We hope to get Level Two started in the summer, when we hope to get in some overseas coaches to come in and add a certain level of experience and then we will have work workshops etc," Dr Dawes said.
