This program was broadcast on Tuesday 31 August 2010, on 2xxfm (98.3mhz) across the Australian Community Radio Network.
Tonight's program is the third of our interview series with Football Analyst, Elite Coach, former Head of the AIS Football program (10 years), mentor to many of our finest players, specialist technical / analytical advisor to the Socceroos and football national treasure, Ron Smith.
Ron has been engaged to review the Capital Football High Performance Program.
In this fascinating interview, the third in this series, Ron speaks to some subjects that are sure to arouse your interest and are all connected to the notion of a high performance program - age relative effect, does Futsal have a place in football development, what do you do in Summer with the HPP (run competitions or a high performance program to develop players) and Coach education (something important to Ron). Ron speaks of the need to "create the learning environment" and when coaching, asks himself this question " Is the player seeing what I am seeing?" and how to ensure you get the learning across to the player.
As ever, you could just keep listening to Ron talk on Football! A remarkable fellow!
