Adios........ Edson Diaz, Brazilian Footbal Coach

I was lucky to meet him,
I was lucky to be coached by him.
He is Edson Diaz from Escola Brasileira de Futebol & Associocao Brasileira de Treinadores de Futebol


But unfortunately he had to leave, all good things had to come to an end, hopefully i will be able to train with him sometime in future.
In his assessment he said " ...........As the coach of The International Brazilian Football Program i have the pleasure in congratulating you to have done the football program with us for 3 months. You have been able to improve a lot as a player and in understanding that football is an art, in communication, in discipline & respect & relationship with others. You have learned about the principal point of our program. Also i advice you to practice continuously to become a professional football player..........."
Then he assessed me for dribbling skills, passing, jumping, speed, kicking, control, field position & personal knowledge. My jumping been the weakest, because i hate to do headers.
The he goes on to say........... "you should understand more about your position while you are playing, i think if you start playing in the right side attacker position you will become better.......... "
Training with Edson was a dream, when he said he will have to leave the country i thought; maan........ now what ? But he managed to find/ convince another coach Jamiu Logun from Nigeria to come & coach us.
Gracias Edson............. adios !!
