New Delhi<\/strong>: The ongoing All India Football Federation <\/a>Coaching Seminar in Navi Mumbai came in for huge praise from the participating Coaches and Instructors. The facilities at the snazzy hotel, the food and the arrangements, the logistics and most importantly, the knowledge being passed on have simply bowled over the 65 participants.<\/p>\n

Former India Captain, creative midfielder Prasanta Banerjee says: \u201cI came here expecting value addition. Rob Baan, Wim Koevermans and Scott O\u2019Donell are laying emphasis on building from the back. Modern football is all about looking forward. The finer aspects of 4-3-3 is being stressed upon,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Seminar is a fantastic initiative which was long overdue,\u201d comments Shillong Lajong\u2019s Pradhyum Reddy. \u201cI only hope this is the first of many more such Seminars. There has always been a disconnect between the National Coach and the Coaches at the top level with the Club Coaches and Coaches at the development level,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the UK and the US, such Coaching Conventions stay common where the philosophy is taught and told and the participants become more responsible learning the finer aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Seminar which comprises of both theoretical and practical sessions is being held at the Royal Orchid Hotel in Navi Mumbai and the Father Agnel School Ground, respectively.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a buzz every morning. The participants look smart in their kits, sign the attendance sheet, take their seats and then the notes. \u201cIt reminds me of my school days,\u201d smiles former India winger Gautam Ghosh. \u201cWe need to be flexible to envelope the extra bit of knowledge. If you have any ego, you will not learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghosh\u2019s room partner Tanumoy Basu, a former India goalkeeper presently the Goalkeeping Coach of the India U-23 Team and Pailan Arrows feels, \u201cthe Seminar reflects the positive mindset of the All India Football Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKushal Das, the present AIFF General Secretary has been leaving no stone unturned to take Indian Football to the next level. Just look at the sequence of events and you will understand what I mean,\u201d Basu explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Academies promise us the future; Pailan Arrows builds up towards the future; Seminars like this explain to us what is needed to get to the future. And mind you, all of them are being stitched in one thread. The YDP is in full flow and there\u2019s synchronisation among all. I credit and thank Das for his efforts,\u201d Basu maintains.<\/p>\n

You reflect for a moment and understand Basu is right. Former National Coach Savio Medeira complements Basu. \u201cAs a Coach you need to enhance yourself and stay updated. The handbook provided is very useful indeed,\u201d he opines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no more confusion. The Technical Director has told us what he wants us to do with our clubs,\u201d Godfrey Pereira, also a former India International says. \u201cThe practices need to be match centric. <\/p>\n

There can\u2019t be any static movements. You always need to move and run with the ball. There\u2019s a more realistic and definite approach. I need to thank AIFF for arranging such a seminar.\u201d<\/p>\n

You move around. There\u2019s a team working 24×7 supervising the facilities at the Hotel, the food, the daily needs and taking care of the logistics. \u201cI\u2019d say here\u2019s quality all around. The clothing provided to us have been good and I appreciate the treatment and the pain taken to make us comfortable,\u201d <\/p>\n

Ajit Braich, someone who has come all the way from Canada, explains. Braich stays the Head Youth Coach at Vancouver White Caps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have attended many such Seminars and I need to tell you the sessions have been informative. In Football you can\u2019t beat around the bush and that\u2019s what is being stressed upon. I credit the AIFF for the initiative,\u201d he comments.<\/p>\n

Shabbir Pasha, also a former India International adds: \u201cEvery theory is being backed and demonstrated in the practical sessions. That\u2019s what enlightens a Coach,\u201d he echoes as he switches off his mobile phone and rushes towards the lift.<\/p>\n

In the seminar, you can\u2019t be late and your cell phone can\u2019t afford to ring. And till now, neither has played spoilsport.<\/p>\n
