The Head Coach of ACTAS Men's Football Program, Mike Milovanovic, reflects on the performance of the Nara Ichijo High School team that played recently in the ACT, the player technical standards set by Japan, the amount of training required to achieve the standards of a Japanese High School team and his general expectations of the individual player technical abilties on arrival at teh ACTAS Men's program.
It's very important to see it from the perspective of the Head Coach of ACTAS for the Men's Program. His role is pivotal to the development and future opportunities of those teenage boys who aspire to higher honours, perhaps a professional career in football. ACTAS concerns itself with the preparation of these young players for competition / selection for and AIS scolarship. It's serious business.
It goes without saying that the ACTAS program must be first rate, but what about all the development that preceeds selection for ACTAS? That's Club and Capital Football core business. In truth, one cannot work without the other if we are to be as good as we can be in football.
ACTAS Coach is a firm believer in having his players engaged in as much football as possible - properly selected and constructed. If a young player is fortunate enough to be selected for ACTAS Men's Football, here are two facts that illustrate the level of committment:
- The ACTAS program is a 46 week program
- ACTAS play 44 scheduled games per full program
The challenge is in front of us.
