CFCman:you need to be interested before you want to do any of that, and you need to be talented as well. Everybody wanted to be one of those at some point, but how many people went on to practice them? There are many people with a certificate in those fields who don't use them, so, how the education come help them? 4 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: You do not put teenagers on a 24hrs routine. May be just for about 2-3 days. After that they will revolt. Understand this now and thank me later. And as to that 3-4-3 formation did I ever say no team should adopt it. I was only saying it is not typically suitable for a team like Nigeria. It was specific to Nigeria. I mentioned that clubs find it easier bc they spend more time together and there is enough room for post error adjustments. You remember that? |

Icon4s:Seyi Olofinjana was my senior in the university and our skippo, I think he studied chemical engineering and has bagged his masters before calling it quit with football to become an agent. I think Darren Fletcher combined school with football when he was at united, i'm not typing this to justify bascovanveli because I don't think I agree with his school of thought to restrict talents for the sake of certificates but there are exceptions because you may not know what the future holds for an uneducated/half educated player. I couldn't combine football with academics that was why I left football when the sport was sucking my Cgpa, I was then planning on playing for julius Berger or Crown fc before I took a decision to quit football because it's not easy combining them 1 Like |

bigblangston: Seyi Olofinjana finished from Lautech. B. Tech Chemical Engineering. Even if he bagged a masters degree it would have been when he was less active in the later part of his career. As u rightly said it is very difficult to combine professional football and academics. My father told me so decades back I later found out he was right. But I want Bascovanveli to list current players who have masters And PHD as he said. |

You don't learn life hacks in the four walls of a classroom! In fact, most useful education occurs outside the four walls! Education isn't physics, maths or economics and you don't need to have formal education to be able to manage your finances. All you need is to know your limitations and find experts who can help you and this comes from exposure. I have heard people talk about US , UK with reference to education and I wonder if they really know what they are talking about. A cursory look at the education budget in these countries or the ratio of international students to home grown students will make the truth clearer. I will give you a personal anecdote: I worked for 4 years as an analyst in an investment bank before leaving the UK and I found one curious thing: The heads of my trading team didn't see the four walls of a university! they started their careers as boys who were passing trading punch cards in the exchange, mastered it and they are top investment bankers today. In the grand scheme of things, classroom education didnt help them, rather they found their passion, reinvented themselves and they are where they are today. I make bold to say that what makes these societies tick is specialization. People developing skills relevant to their passion. Why should a Jay Jay Okocha worry about not mastering mathematics when he could devote more time in honing his dribbling skills? Does that mean you can cheat him in business? Certainly not! Why? business skills are not taught in the classroom. The earlier we do away with our worship of "formal education" in our country, the better for us. Education doesn't begin and end in the classroom, shikena! Advanced countries realize this and they are rewarded for it! The earlier we helped children identify their passion and support them, the better. I have so much to say about this matter just not able to type now 7 Likes |

Icon4s: Oga it is almost sunday o. I remember it was after west ham and chelsea u were making mouth that the 3-4-3 would never work. U told me to go play it in a video game. Now ur own club is using the very system u said could never work. I said they are 24 hours in a day and so the child will always find time for school and football. My question to u is if u find out ur child has talent at say 11, will u allow that child to stop going to school? |

Am of the opinion that football should go hand in hand with education. When I say education, I mean atleast senior high school. The elite academies in the world have entrenched in their modus operandi education and football mixed together. Here is an except of the famed Barcelona mestalla operation ; The students wake up early at 6:45 to shower and brush their teeth just in time for breakfast at 7:00. The school bus pick-up is then at 7:30. Unknown to many, a large amount of their time is spent studying. School is from around 8:00 to 14:00. It’s then lunch and free time until around 16:00. Then there’s added schooling and training, times differ depending on the age group, but training tends not to be any longer than 1 hour and 30 minutes. It’s then time for another shower and a coach journey back to La Masia. Dinner is at around 21:00 which is followed by TV/Internet until 22:45. The students brush their teeth and go to bed at 23:00 in order to rest sufficiently enough to repeat the process the following day. The gospel truth is that when kids are starting out you never can tell how far they could go in professional sports. Kids need a good education foundation so they have a fall back option if it all goes South. A tiny % of kids admitted into academies actually make it to the professional level. Nothing is guaranteed in football or any professional sports. If world class academies adopt this strategy, who are we to disagree with them since the results are starring us in the face. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Icon4s: it isn't the only the only channel, but it definitely is the most guaranteed channel. come on if you didn't go to school and went into football would you become a football writer like you did? No matter how dull a kid is he can scale through secondary school at least! foreign academies have school teachers too, you don't just learn how to play football, you also learn how to live, write and behave. you are talking about being dull, ok a lad who can't even speak English, maybe he gets transferred to a Spanish team, mind you he can't even understand English well, don't you know that teaching him Spanish would be impossible? 1 Like |
