The Art Of Coaching

Football coaching can be exquisite but, at the same time, a challenging job. What makes a coach qualified? is it having a piece of paper called a “certificate”? Accumulation of experience? Or the nationality of a coach?.
Football is an art and indeed a majestic one! The most crucial part of Football coaching is having the right state of mind and being patient with every player.
A football coach needs to be in control, but at the same time, they must always be the player’s godfather & best friend. Football development is directly connected to a player’s character development; hence, a football coach will only be able to build a better footballer if they can develop that individual as a person in the first place.
We’re highly selective about hiring coaches as we believe the essential element of any education is the coaches/teacher.
