What Jamaican Coaches are saying about our GSM Coaching Education Courses!

"GSM will be the vehicle to change the way we view football development in Jamaica, and so we have to carefully nurture the seed that you have planted throughout the coaching seminar. Thank you again for coming and opening our minds in a different approach to coaching, using the principles of Christianity. The passion that I have seen displayed in you, has somewhat rekindled my lost passion for the sport here in Jamaica." Marvin Tate marvtate@yahoo.com

"I just want to commend you all for coming up with such great ideas about coaching. I like your philosophy about coaching the game and more importantly, coaching kids to play the game. This will go far to make our players better people. Some of us work in inner city schools where we have serious challenges to change or, impact the lives of kids. In this course i have found a philosophy of coaching befitting my purpose for coaching." Oscar Wright srgrouch@yahoo.com

“Thanks a million for the delivering the coaching course to us. All was well received. You have given me a new outlook on life and the game football. I lost a player on May 5, shot 10 times, MISTAKEN IDENTITY! I have got to save the others before any more mistakes. Thanks again for the empowerment.” Raymond Brown brown_mon@yahoo.com

The Cayman Islands football Association (CIFA) Youth Football program will be got a boost with the recent return of two of the islands Youth Coaches Lovane Jovan and Ardin Rivers to the island after participating in an intensive five day GSM International Level Two coaching course in Kingston Jamaica. CIFA with the assistance of Technical Director Carl Brown selected Jovan and Rivers for this trip which was funded solely by the Association. “We thank CIFA for giving us the opportunity to participate in this very educational and informative course. I got the chance not only to learn more in the tactical and defensive aspects of the game but also to meet former and present top Jamaican international players, said the coaches.”

“It was just a great course which was very in-depth and I would definitely go back for the Level Three course. I have learned a lot and I will be passing on my newly acquired knowledge to all interested youngsters on this island,” Jovan pointed out. “This course opened up my eyes, it was worthwhile and I thank CIFA for selecting me to have the opportunity of gaining all this knowledge and exposure to professionalism in coaching.”

“The atmosphere was great the physical and theoretical aspects were of high standard I would be more than happy to go on another course of this nature,” Rivers explained.

I have just completed my first degree at the G.C.Foster College of Physical Education & Sports, and I am looking forward to be able to do more GSM courses. The courses held in Kingston were not convenient to me. I think the GSM courses are a wonderful programme and it should be a regular for the development of Jamaican coaches.

“I found it very beneficial. Presently I am the assistant coach of Meadowbrook High school football teams responsible for the under 16 and 14 teams we started training on Monday right after the course. I have been using the methods learned over the weekend, it makes the training so easy to organize and teach. The players love it the training. Thank you very much.” Paul Edwards possibilityplus@yahoo.com

“I have been applying the course material learned in my training sessions and this is motivating my players allot more. I our team recently had a practice match. We used the course information for our tactical approach in this match. The result was a 0-0 match and the player came away with a very good account of themselves. Our training sessions are more enjoyable for me and the payers are responding better with properly planning of training session. Thanks.” Coach Omar Stanley Mountain View United FC (super league) OStanley@nht.gov.jm

“GSM will be the vehicle to change the way we view football development in Jamaica, and so we have to carefully nurture the seed that you have planted throughout the coaching course. Thank you again for coming and opening our minds in a different approach to coaching, using the principles of Christianity. I am indeed impressed with the GSM Training book for soccer coaches that you sent. It will definitely be a guide in my future method of coaching. The passion that I have seen displayed in you, has somewhat rekindled my lost passion for the sport here in Jamaica.” Marvin Tate marvtate@yahoo.com

“Thanks for coming to Jamaica and sharing such great knowledge with us. The coaches sessions we did in the course are already working with the teams in my community and else where. Even doing sessions with WFC men’s senior team is working. I have to tell you that my life is impacted more from the course. Thanks again and I’m sure what has been done through this course is the start for us as coaches to produce better players and better men and women here in Jamaica.” God bless and thanks again.

“I am very thankful for the things that you have taught me and for refreshing some of what I already knew but had forgotten or push to the back. I am currently working with my under 10 group and it is amazing to see some of the things these boys are doing that I didn't think they would have been able to accomplish. Thanks again, small sided games is the way forward.”
