You think people will join your academy because of your name? Do you have any background in football? Who qualify you to work on your own? What are your objective, mission and vision? You just want to make money? By the way, what is your experience? How about knowledge, skills and management skills? What is your expertise? Have you done the market research? How much do you want to invest? You think your ‘A’ License is good enough? Ok. You are famous before, Sorry what is your name again? The truth is, we had tried to believe people like you before, sorry to say, however… why not?
Look at this guy. What? You have been with FAM and few states F.A before? Ok. So what? Are you a risk taker? What is your product packaging and services? What about representation? Do you think FAM can support you? What? You are jobless now? How many students you expect? How much you going to charge your students?
Sorry bro, where are you going to open your office? With whom you want to register your academy? Or you just want to be like most football academies, they don’t have office at all. Some of them operate in school, collecting money with nothing to promise! Most of them did not provide any receipts for payment!
Who is going to coach? How about you? How many players can you coach within 2 hours program? Where is your field? You know what? There are cases where school teacher think that the school field is their own property, not the public. What? You have got a politician behind you, so GOOD LUCK!
Tired of operating on your own? Or, want to give a try?
Now lets begin, first of all the about the above quotes. No doubt some of the questions are spot on. Stuff that you need to know when you start a football club, but still I found the way of this club sending this info out is pure arrogant. More or less like " We can do it right, you can't "
Then I begin to search for answers if they are that good. First thing I found out on this club website is they don't train regularly. From what I see is they only train once a week in multiple locations. I don't know what is their set up, but I will only comment on what kind of info I found from their website. Now come on..training only once a week ?? What does the players get ? We all know practices makes perfect ! So you train once a week and have multiple locations for your activities...I smell money making machine. Doubt they even care about improving the boys as training once a week just does not cut it.
Hopefully this club have a separate program that trains regularly and if not, I felt bad for these parents buying into this club goals and missions.
Then on this quote taken from above "What? You have got a politician behind you, so GOOD LUCK!"
I found out that the founder of this club is a Chief of Youth Movement in a certain political party AKA he is a politician..so yeah..Good Luck.
Its just sad to see our local Malaysian youth don't have any channels to improve themselves, to showcase themselves. No doubt there are some good youth development football clubs in KL, but mostly are targeting expats and wealthy local boys that can pay. And the price is just impossible for these parents of lower and middle income youth players to pay.
Me personally would like to change things, but its beyond my capacity. I have stated many times, in order to run a proper football academy for the locals, the 1st thing I need to have is my own football facility. That way, the club won't be relying on fees to survive as with its own facility, it can generate incomes through other means. Investors..anyone???
Then, we need to change the mindset of the parents why they should allow their boys to pursue a career in football. The list go on...
Certainly its hard work, but if I have the capacity to do it, I will as I believe many of our local boys have talents.
