In other programs we have spoken at length to that doyen of Football technical coaches and co-founder of Coerver, Alfred Galustian. Our interviews with Alfred have been rich in content and Alfred has shown a lot of interest in Australia and also works with the FFA in a consulting capacity.

This interview with Jason Lancsar focuses a little more on the local football scene, through the eyes of a Coerver principal who operates in the most critical area of player development – the acquisition of football skills among young players. The Coerver program is underpinned by a world wide, top quality curriculum, a curriculum that dovetails neatly into the FFA’s National Curriculum. The boys and girls that participate in the various programs get a technical football education that is very difficult, if not near impossible to get elsewhere. It sets the young players up for football for the rest of their playing lives.

Then there is the quality of the Coerver coaches – they are top notch. Their business depends on it. Coaches are the natural leadership group in football and the Coerver coaches set high standards. This is a great comfort to parents.

The thing that I like about Coerver is that it is not elitist, they serve all young players who wish to play the beautiful game – to quote Jason :

“Its an elite program, delivered by elite coaches, for young players of all abilities.”

I think you will find this interview very informative.

Coerver Co-Founder Alfred Galustian Talks About the Importance of Skills Development in Young Players and the Training of Coaches In this Specialist Area of Football Knowledge

In this program we have a long "fireside chat" with Alfred Galustian about Coerver's most recent addition to its formidable Football offerings - the Coaching Diploma in Youth Development. The program just completed in Australia was the pilot program for the World!

Alfred Galustian is sort out by the Clubs and Coaches at the highest levels of the game around the world. The FFA has engaged Alfred to assist in the preparation of the FFA's Skills Acquisition Coaches, who will deal with the best of the best in Australia at age.

When asked what he thought of the world Cup, Alfred's reply was short, but said it all - based on data collected by FIFA, Australia was third most physically capable, while Spain (the eventual winners) was not in the first five nations for the same characteristic. The rest of this short form analysis went unspoken, but with a knowing grin, you may just detect in his voice. Kinda says it all. Which brings us all the way back to the FFA's National Football Curriculum and the National Development plan, and Alfred Galustian's role in skill acquisition coaching. Coerver are already there!

When Alfred Galustian talks, its always worth listening too!
