Wow - These guys are in charge of the USSF licensing programs.
Head in the sand much?
A few nuggets for you:
"SOCCER AMERICA: If we accept the idea that licenses make coaches better and the courses will make us a better soccer country – the fact is they’re not easy to get. For example, the cost. The cost of getting U.S. Soccer’s higher-level licenses is about five times the cost of a German DFB license. Why are they so expensive?
NICO ROMEIJN: We recently did research on the cost of our licenses. The last thing I will say is that we are cheap, but we’re also not the most expensive courses when you’re looking at Europe. So, for example, when you’re looking at France, that’s much more expensive than over here......"
WTF? Well, we are cheaper than France. So we have that going for us.
They also talk about how hard it is to get a B or an A license. And that this is sort of done on purpose - Because not everyone deserves to get this license.
Ok - so maybe not everyone deserves an "A" license- but wouldn't we be better off if more coaches were able to obtain this amazing knowledge that an "A" license will bring to them?
