Heff was on the ABC radio yesterday questioning the elite programs. He spoke very well.
Heff said he was never good enough for state rep teams in his underage years. He said he was a chubby, fat kid. Chippers also made no rep teams.
At the same time Heff said that the NSW under 16 team, that he failed to make, had no players who went on to senior pro football. He also said an English under 17 team who came second in the European champs a few years ago, had only 1 player who played senior pro football.
Heff is head coach of the CCM Academy.
Like Ange he wants to see thousands of players given the same opportunities for quality coaching given to supposedly identified elite players.
One thing I didn't like with the Dutch approach in Oz, was that players were identified as being elite at 10, then being given a different pathway to other players.
One other 442 forumite reading this, knows Ange personally. He said that Ange hates trials for elite programs too. Ange also wants thousands of players given the same opportunities as just a limited few are now.

+xKevin Muscat has recently expressed the same opinion as Heff.
If "Brew" is such a brilliant coach, why doesn't he enlighten us all with a few informative posts?
All he done so far is state the bleeding obvious in very short sentences.
