Let’s
incorporate Ted Dumitru's Maximal training philosophy into the South African
Football Association (SAFA) development workshops. Do away with foreign
knowledge. In saying don't adopt the Dutch, German or English developmental
philosophy. Just endorse local indigenous knowledge.
That
has worked wonders with my team. We play intelligent possessional diski – scoring
over 4 goals per match since June last year. It about time we believed in our
own knowledge like we did in the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations. Please I urge you not
to seek European advice. They will drag us back again.
Tell
Robin Peterson and Smith not to ask the Germans for their assistance. Maximal
training has done wonders for South African football players and standard.
Platinum Stars is the latest example, Mr. Allan Freese was coached by ted
Dumitru. Just look at the success he has brought to Platinum Stars thru the
maximal training method.
Other
current and former Premier Soccer League (PSL) coaches are Calvin Johnson, Farouk
Khan, Zipho Dlangalala and many. This system of development looks into
encouraging technical development - which is the strength of more than 80%
South Africans.
As
we are blessed with superior ball skills, tricks, dribbling ability – as the
technique of a player determines every outcome of a game. A few Examples of
players who have progress thru the ranks using this sort of philosophy are
Keagan Dolly, Siyanda Xulu, Jabulani Shongwe, Mbulelo Mabizela, Siyabonga
Ngubane, Buhlebuyeza Mkhwanazi, Doctor Mampuru, Abel Mabaso and many more.
In
2009 this group f boys trained using the maximal training method, "local
indigenous knowledge". Finished in the (5) position in the World Club
Champions in Madrid – finishing above Barcelona (7) and Ajax Amsterdam (9)
respectively. A. Madrid took Robert Ngalinde (Malawian) into their academy from
those same boys who trained with MT. Siyanda Xulu got a trial with Barcelona
and Arsenal because of maximal training ethos. That same team won the future Champions
n Bayhill tournament. Scored a whopping 130+ goals in just two seasons.
Kaizer
Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns won back to back titles using this maximal
training system under Master Ted Dumitru. What else does SAFA wants to be
convinced that technical master plan can take South African football to a level
never reached by any club or national team before.
Please
adopt maximal training into SAFA's workshop method without having to be advised
by foreign perspectives. Otherwise our football will continue to SUFFER under SAFA.
