Njang believes that the best training is based on viewing football “as a game of decisions with quick thinking in relationship to surroundings, the area of the field, and moment of the game.”
To promote football development, L & M is engaging in partnerships with schools to introduce the Kickstarter and Kinderfootball program for children 3-7 years.
It’s really important to start early, Njang says. “We have a relentless focus on player development, from age 3 and up. And we constantly adapt our training program and evaluate our players based on trends in international football. To do those things effectively, we rely on licensed coaches who have lots of local and international coaching experience.”
