Talent Maintenance
In football, the selection criteria will vary from academy to academy, depending primarily on their playing and development philosophies.
A 6-stage talent maintenance process will be applied to the recruitment of players into our Academy. This refers to the process of recognizing those with the potential to become elite players.
It will entail predicting performance over various periods of time by measuring physiological, psychological and sociological attributes as well as technical abilities either alone or in nurturing the individual holistically towards realising the potential predicted.
Eventual success is ultimately dependent upon a myriad of circumstantial factors, including access and opportunities to practice, staying free from injury, and the type of mentoring and coaching available during their developmental years.
Also, personal, social, cultural and generic factors influence ultimate performance as these factors define individual personality and style.
Skills such as intelligence, speed, dynamic and static balance, focus, power, and agility are major criteria for the game of football. It is therefore critical for players to have these baselines for basic skills.
These skills will transfer to a players’ primary activity, so everything that the player does to improve the quality and extent of baselines from which football specific skills can develop will further enhance their opportunities to excel in the game.
In the long term, we prioritize a predetermined or connected set of tactical themes, so that there is a real chance to build up experiences and a kind of system in patterns of reaction to stimuli.
This is because learning or training, to create stable action patterns for specific game situations, will only take effect if it is part of a systematic-ongoing process which is creative, coherent and professionally executed.

Scholars learn how to problem solve so, they recognize and identify their weaknesses and seek practical solutions to resolving them.
Also, they are encouraged to be leaders and take responsibility for their actions so as to reflect from feedback, areas that require improvements.
