This program was broadcast on 3 Feb 2010 on 2XXfm Community Radio network.
Tonights program is full of promise and hope around Football.
First the Craig Johnson story - a fair dinkum Australian Football story if ever there was one and so much more! This interview is a beauty from the wonderful SBS television program - the World Game. He is an inspriation to all players of all abilities, past and present. He's a living National Treasure!
Then we go to the subject of Coach Education. We speak to Pat McCann, Assistant Technical Director, Capital Football whose portfolio of responsibilities includes Coach Education. We have been making real progress in the ACT in this field of activity in recent times, tightly linked as it is to the introduction of the new National Curriculum (Football that is!). Then we listen to the English FA's postion on the subject. They speak of a change in the culture of coaching and a focus on what they call "the player centred approach". There are lots of structural differences between their football environment and ours, but the messages are hauntingly similiar. The changes are world wide and here in Australia we are probably well up the front of the pack. Good thing!
