Canada faces challenges with long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Don't get me wrong - I support the "Wellness to World Cup" document,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I have no doubt that it is based on careful research and sound planning. The stages of LTPD are chronological and they make sense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with stages three to six being the most crucial with regard to developing elite athletes.
But I have yet to have anyone tell me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], publicly or privately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how we are going to implement this plan. How are we going to get the vast majority of youth clubs around the country to adopt this strategy of player development and abandon the "win-at-all-costs" mentality that currently exists?
Furthermore, how are we going to get the provincial soccer associations to give up their control of player development so that they can promote and initiate the LTPD plan province-wide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather than continue running the inadequate provincial development programs that are currently in place?
We face many challenges in Canada,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not least of which is the vast geographical size of our country. Centralized high performance centres exclude numerous talented athletes in outlying areas. If bringing the players to the coaches is a barrier to player development, we need to bring the coaches to the players.
We can do this by mandating that the LTPD stages be implemented across the board by youth clubs in Canada. Minimum coaching standards need to be put in place for clubs wishing to play "competitive" soccer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so that kids can receive the necessary coaching closer to home. By doing that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the CSA would create a pyramid of development that is clear and transparent.
If the coaching standards are brought up to scratch at every major club across the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the provincial associations could then spend more time and money on player identification, rather than on player development. That would increase our pool of elite players while reducing the number of players who are excluded because they live too far away from or cannot afford to get to the centralized provincial training centres.
Change takes time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and often requires an equal measure of patience. Wednesday's news was a step in the right direction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I look forward to the day when those words turn into actions.
Former professional soccer player Jason de Vos brings more than 18 years of experience on the pitch to his analyst role on CBC's Major League Soccer and FIFA telecasts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
De Vos began his professional career with the Montreal Impact before joining Darlington in England in 1996. In 1998,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], De Vos joined Dundee United of the Scottish Premier League and later moved over to the English Premier League with Wigan Athletic and Ipswich Town FC before retiring at the end of the 2007-08 season.
The stalwart defender was also captain of Canada's national team from 1999 to 2004. He scored the winning goal in Canada's 2-0 victory over Colombia in the final of the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the only major international tournament the Canadian team has won.
