An Interview With Trinidad & Tobago's National U17 Coach
 


Academy coach Anthony Sherwood had the opportunity to sit down with National U17 head coach Shawn Cooper. In the interview coach Cooper talks about the various challenges that national youth coaches are encountering with players seeking selection to the national team. He identifies the lack of proper fundamentals as being a major problem for most of the players selected to the National U17 team. As an Academy it our goal to ensure that we address these problems beginning with our youngest players. The Academy interview series is a major part of the player education aspect of our approach to player development. The concept is that if our players aspire to play with the national team in the future, then it is important that both Academy coaches and players know what is required to gain selection to these teams. The Academy would like to thank coach Cooper for his time and insight.

Dreams Do Come Through

In March 2011 a highly talented 13 year old player Geddion Zalalem, attracted the attention of Arsenal's North American Scout Danny Karbassiyoon while playing for coach Anthony Sherwood's US based team - Richmond Strikers U15 Elite. Such was his impact, Mr. Karbassiyoon (a staff coach with the Richmond Strikers Arsenal Program) determined that Geddion would travel to London to undergo trials at Arsenal.  


Geddion Zalalem in action with coach Anthony Sherwood's Richmond Strikers U15 Elite Team.

On Friday January 24, 2014 Geddion Zalalem made his senior debut with Arsenal in an FA Cup encounter against Coventry City at age 16. Coach Sherwood stated, "This is a highly talented player, at 13 years of age he demonstrated a level of football maturity rarely seen in players that young." "It is my firm belief that we have within our Academy - one or two younger players who will eventually eclipse what Geddion was able to accomplish, I am convinced of it."

Academy Players Are Back In Training (Season 2 Begins)








Manchester United Seminar

Academy coach Anthony Sherwood recently attended a seminar hosted by Manchester United Academy coaches Kevin Ward and Eamon Mulvey. Sponsored by Atlantic LNG, the seminar sought to enlighten participants about the approach taken by Manchester United in the development of their Academy players. "The opportunity to exchange ideas with both Kevin and Eamon was an invaluable experience," stated coach Sherwood. "What stood out to me was the fact that the approach to player development, even at Manchester United, does not vary significantly from the other environments that I have been exposed to abroad." Sherwood added, "The difference of-course relates to the level of commitment demonstrated by their players to training and the level of professionalism that youth players exhibit at Manchester United." Coach Sherwood also went on to state, " There are very talented players here in Trinidad and Tobago including quite a few at our Academy, what will ultimately determine how successful they become is their desire to be the best."

New Academy Video Released - "This Is Game Day" (Best Viewed in 1080p)



The Academy coaches would like to congratulate both our U10 and under U13 players who participated in their very first matches on Sunday October 27, 2013. Both teams exhibited a valiant effort, and at times, played a very good brand of football. Our U10 Academy players won their game 7-1 and despite a very good effort, the U13 Academy players lost 2-0 despite being short by two players. The Waterloo Institute of Soccer is considered to be one of the strongest football organizations in the country and we are extremely proud of the effort which was put forward by our players. The following video captures a few moments of the U10s build-up to kick off that morning.

Change In Regular Training Schedule


Parents, 
Commencing Monday 4th November 2013, our weekday training start time will be adjusted from 5:00 p.m. to 4:30.p.m. This is a temporary change due to the lack of light that we are currently experiencing towards the end of our evening training sessions. 

As we go forward, lights at the Gulf View Recreational facility will become operational and a re-adjustment will be made at that point. I am aware that a few of our players may not be able to make the earlier start time but please keep in mind that this is just a temporary adjustment. Weekday training sessions during the month November 2013 will start at 4:30 p.m. and finish at 6:00 p.m. Saturday training times will remain the same. We do apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by this temporary adjustment. Additionally, please be reminded that our current training season will end on Saturday 30th November 2013.

Jake only recently began training with the Academy but has quickly established himself as one of the most consistent players. Although seemingly a very quiet player, he has quickly gained the respect of both his coaches and teammates alike. He is a player that possesses immense potential and with continued commitment to his training, he is sure to go very far in the future.
