The man that created the technical revolution in Japan.

He mentions the key strategy is to improve the worst players to increase the talent pool, does the FFA have a similar thinking in regards to the NC?

Should the FFA try to pursue him as the next TD or something to help educate the large participation in grassroots?

He knows his stuff.

The FNSW U13 girls is predominately made up of girls that live close to M2 or M7. (my observation...could be wrong)
With Sydney traffic the way it is is just not convenient to head to Valentine Park 3 times a week. Example Sydney Uni doesn't lose any kids to FNSW...and usually beats them!
As Craig Johnston said about his son playing for the Skillaroos, going 2 hours to training from Avalon (where his ex wife lives)...is just silly. He surmised his son would be better using the 2 hours kicking a ball against a wall.

For me The European system for elite kids is better, where they get kids in to say Football NSW once a month for a weekend and train. This way FNSW would get to see say 50-60 kids a season up close. The kids stay with their clubs for development, and not spend all their time in the car.

By the way, I went to one of the Tom Byer sessions run by SFG mentioned above at a local club, and it was terrific
