Grassroots football is challenging in Nigeria - Football Agency Boss
A foremost players agent and football administrator Pele John Taiwo has tasked grassroots football managers to rejig and revitalise the system in a way that showcase the true value of football developments.
The lle-lfe based grassroots football enthusiast and Academy owner whose products are making waves in Europe advocates for right environments, more opportunities and skills development in grassroots football developments.
"Football is a big business nowadays but players don't have business mindsets as regards marketing, most of the coaches only approach the game with fixated minds on winning laurels.
"There’s a bit of a snag with that, coaches that suppose to even know better are no more teaching basic skills and there's no way they can get the best out of these players, which sidelines the goals of youth football.
"Many of our players are good but are not marketable because of the faulty foundations, some by luck would find themselves there but lack the quality to play at the top. Necessary things must be taught at the expense of winning. Though we can't dismiss the importance of winning but lessons and ethos remain constant regardless of the outcome."
The football financier who closely monitored series of matches at the ongoing Optima Energy Preseason Tournaments in Ogun state believes the youths should be given enough chance to showcase their talents.
"I have seen big teams that are not doing enough while some are presently parading marketable youths.
"Young players need opportunities, that's what the world of football wants. We need to know and understand what is marketable and presentable. This tourney should be seen as an avenue to instill confidence into young players. There are potentials that are ready to explode when they play with confidence and enjoy themselves," he noted
