I was very fortunate to be able to attend a press conference at the offices of the PFF yesterday. There, we had the opportunity to hear the PFF grassroots consultant, Mr. Eckhard Krautzun, speak about the results of his study and recommendations about ways to improve the development of football here. His insights were fantastic and very helpful, and should greatly benefit the development of football here in the Philippines. His discussion was so interesting that I decided to start a blog about grassroots development in the Philippines. You can find the blog here:
The first post includes the background of Eckhard. He truly is highly qualified having years and years of experience in many developing nations around the world, we are very fortunate to have him here. He has spent the last few months traveling around the Philippines looking at everything from the players, their style, infrastructure, coaching, and even the support elements such as the state of our fans and sponsorship for the sport. I'll try to bring further insight from him in future posts, information which I hope will be of interest to everyone who hopes for grassroots development here.
studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing
