Improving the football product without high overhead 2 and 3

Part 2

The Premier league Club Association was a good thing when itform but to me it seems like it is now the Old boys Association. Time for someof them to step aside as we need energetic young people.

This association should be forging relationship with otherleagues, regional and others to have players go on loans on a regular basis andgetting a few players in the NPL in a structured way. Many of these clubs willnot get the immediate transfer they want for their players but why not have astructured program where some of the best talent go to some Central Americanleague, Mexican division 2 league, Nordic leagues and others for short periodof tim? The players will still belong to them and they can actually get bettercompetition and a taste of pro leagues. It would also make sense to also get afew players to inject into NPL teams on loan.

The PLCA should be getting a small percent of transfer feesto administrate such a program. They should have a least one person dedicatedto this or hire someone to do this. Instead of seeing some of our national repsin the Bronx league, they could actually be doing more. I know HV tried to havesomething with the Red Bulls and the PLCA spoke about forging relationship withUS A league but we need more than this for National League players. Again theidea here is to provide more opportunities and better standard of play for theplayers, which will also put them in better shopping windows again.

I won’t even touch the marketing of their product here, wehave been there and it is so poor. Will touch on the development of the leagueitself later.



Part 3

Now there are more trained coaches in Jamaica more than everbefore, there should be a Coaches association and a small fee added at licenserenewal and a general coaching conference every year with an admission fee forall coaches and who have interest in coaching with guest speakers and professionalsto actually assist and address coaching problem in Jamaica. The JFF could alsocontribute and leave coaching to the coaches with a panel of coaches working oncommittees. It was refreshing to see the current Head coach calling all thenational coach to watch the game and go over stuff with him. The fact is ourtop coaches need to meet more in a more structural way. Identify problem, find solution,share knowledge and expertise, plus express ideas and other views even if notpopular. The panel of coaches must also have a role of identifying talent andbringing them to the fore. They could have regional groups or a straightnational panel. The idea is to get coaches working as a unit and upgradingtheir skills, sharing information, while creating a national standard andformat for coaching. Lennie Taylor madebasic coaching a part of Ministry of Education in St. Kitts when he was there,we could also give that to HEART, or SDC to actually conduct classes with a fewtrainers since they both have the outreach and infrastructure already.

This is much better Sass. Some interesting ideas here

My only comment is that our coaches need new perspectives from technical professionals outside Jamaica. Yapping among themselves to share ideas is good.... but considering their limited or nonexistent experience in high level football.... internal yappin only provides a marginal improvement.

Jamaica needs to bring in a dozen or so good trainers from an established football power on a rotating basis to improve our technical knowledge base. These people would simultaneously train our trainers and our young ballas 12-17 y.o. over say 10 years. When Jamaican trainers are up to speed the foreigners can go home.
Now that could potentially revolutionize Jamaican football!!!

Regarding the substantial human costs of such a venture.... mi dun tell unnu how we can work a barter arrangement for technical services with Brazil, which would be affordable...
Jamaica probably picking up living expenses, transport etc.. with Brazil covering emoluments

We just need a little creative thinking from the JFF with support from the GOJ and the private sector to get Brazil on board and the living expenses covered

yeah thank you for putting in the coaches exchange. We also have a very huge diaspora to draw from, from Lennie Taylor, Lorne Donaldson, Tyrone Marshall, Andy Williams, Assistant coaches with Red Bulls(can't remember the name now), Paul Young, Cincinnati coach, Worde Harris, Paul Hall, Fitroy Simpson and all the other ex-players with their badges to Bruce's youth father in Germany (Daniel Gordon). Most who said they would willing give some free time.

As said I am trying to find a holistic(wholelistic) approach to making the wheel turn better that may not include huge funds.
