jpg75 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 As clear as the MNT coach reporting to the TD? I was under the impression the LTPD was Stephen Harts baby, but i guess he will be delegating the implementation of it to Ms. Beliveau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 It looks like a compromise, there's alot of partipaction fluff thrown into what is supposed to be a legit. development blueprint. There was a document on the FAI website that was very detailed, but i can't find it now. Here's what the FAI has up: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=114&Itemid=126 Virtually the same stuff on the CSA side. The technical doc had a whole bunch of details, it was very long and went into the specific skills/competencies players should be working on at what age etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont know when that next document is going to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
