What about Socrates? ![]() I get your points Chief Icon4s but Sir Basco's still carries lots of benefits from all sides... The Coach Carter concept will empower our kids on two fronts, Education and Football.... that way we build kids who will be worldly-wise and future leaders and not just Mundane celebs.... And in doing this... when we spot extremely gifted talents who lack an education or are not in school... we will set them up in a school program and work towards their growth on those two fronts... We must not just groom talents alone... we must groom "men". Icon4s: 3 Likes |

Icon4s: This must be a cosmic joke. Are u telling me all the kids who play will make it as pros? If not what will they fall back on? Education is a billion times more important than football. U would be cheating a child if u don't get him or her educated. At least give them the backbone of a good secondary education. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: I get what you and bascovanveli are saying. But what I am against is that phrase that "if you can't pass then you can't play football". If you go by that pessin like Iheanacho for dey sell "square" parts for Owerri main market. Maybe Osimhen for join that his elder brother in hawking Newspapers. And maybe Alampasu for dey ride okada for Abeokuta while Yahaya for dey sell "ireke" (sugar cane ) for Kano. 3 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: If it is secondary school education you are talking about then no issues bc there is hardly any of our youths player that did not at least attend secondary school. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 11:01am On May 06, 2017 |
TheSuperNerd: Bascovanveli has come up specific as to what level of education he is referring to. He said secondary school. All those boys you mentioned have it. Most Nigerian youngsters have it. So case closed. Besides you tell you say dem bright? Were you their teacher or better still classmate? Na only Awoniyi we hear say him make 6As in WAEC. |

Icon4s: U can't tell me that, if u put ur mind in school work u will pass. People like TheSuperNerd don't have 10 heads, if u work hard u can pass any subject. U can be an educated average player and still make it in football but without education u have to be Messi or Ronaldo. |

If Odey passport is claiming 19 and his certificate shows 22. That is a rookie error. If true, that will affect not just this move but other potential moves. Word travels fast. |

Chrismario: This my comment may sound harsh. But it is reality. THIS MAY JUST BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF HIS CAREER. reason why I do not recon with all these NPFL highest goal scorers. They claim to be teens but meanwhile they are in their 20s. You take them to Europe expecting them to blow but you don't get to hear of them again. |

Icon4s: The question should be why allow a child fail? If the child is important then the coach should pay attention to his or her education. If they are lagging behind then u attack the situation. Extra study sessions, find them a tutor or a smart classmate who can explain things, give awards for the best player in class to encourage education. |

TheSuperNerd: When it comes to footie, select the most talented players. Put them in the best environment and they will grow. I am with Icon4s fully on this. Let football be football. How can you drop a player who is as skillful as Okocha because he had an F in English and start a player who can not trap a ball because he made an A? |

tbaba1234: I saw some guys here the other day accusing you of a negative bias towards the NPFL. I just laughed but stayed away. This has repeated itself over and over and over. Those boys peak when they claim they are 18 - 20yrs mean while they are 5 - 8yrs older. I have said it severally that strikers peak between 21 and 26. They peak in the NPFL and emerge MVP or highest goal scorer only to get to Europe and start declining due to old age. |

BascoVanVeli: If football is the kid's path, he should spend extra session developing his ability to play the game than reading about ecology. Do you think CR7 would have been as good as he was at 17 if he put in more time to books than the field. |

Icon4s: The other day, I read a report of a Burkinababe player playing in Ivory Coast who just got a direct deal to Lille from Asec Mimosa. No Trial. Our best players are going for trials in Denmark and Sweden. Chisom Egbuchulam's team played again yesterday and he did not get a minute. A mid table side in Sweden and he is not even coming in as a sub for how many months now.. He was voted player of the year last year. He has not been injured o. I think the quality of the league is also poor. It is not just age but age is a major factor. Teams are ignoring the top flight and going to grassroots teams because of the age cheating is so rampant in the NPFL. |

A player as skillful as okocha will not be thrown away.... a program will be dynamically worked out for him. This is how things work in the states..... programs can always be tailored to meet a special talent's mode of learning and growth... TheGoodJoe: |

Education is good because it gives a player a fall back option if injury or retirement comes. The education could be in the form of coaching licenses that enables you to apply for coaching roles. |
