Among other things, Walter Steenbok wants to silence the drums of disagreement between PSL coaches and Bafana Bafana boss Hugo Broos
What sort of intervention is needed for our national teams to catch up with the top teams in the world?
One of the things we need to improve, which will also help us to get out of the group stages, and Fifa talks about it, is the nature of the opposition. We need stronger opposition, but of course periodically. Also, successive camps and what I call proximal training. Proximal training means we should be able to ask government and the department of sports.
If we start provincial tournaments, select under-15s, allow them to have more games, proximal training and so on, sometimes a camp with north Africans, by the time they go to the tournament they’re much better and can do well. Another issue is a playing style that suits our players. Do we have one and does everyone follow the script?
What is needed in academies, how many players must we have and what kind of accommodation must we have? We understand that in England they have categories and if you are category 1 you’re expected to be at this level, category 2 this level. So we’re in the process of setting them up next year using the $50,000 from Fifa. Mogashoa has already made the application for that.
Teko Modise never played at under-20, Papi Zothwane, Jimmy Tau, the list is endless. That’s why we need to make sure the criteria for selection is standard and you train people. It’s fair enough to have been a good player, but scouting is completely different. That’s why David Nyathi and Aaron Mokoena are there. I am doing my PhD and its is on talent identification and a development model for SA because it’s an area of major interest.
