This course also teaches about long-term player development which is key to raising our game,\u201d said Okere.<\/p>\n<p>Former Harambee Stars skipper Musa Otieno said the graduates were ready to trickle down the knowledge they had received.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are lucky to be the pioneer class at this level. We are the ones who can change football in this generation and we have to use the knowledge gained to make a difference at the grassroots and especially among young people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ulinzi Starlets tactician Wambua said he had begun reaping the fruits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a different coach now. I have started applying what I have learned and I have won two trophies already,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bidco&#8217;s Akhulia said he would now employ an entirely different approach in his training sessions, based on what he learned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis course has been intense but that is why it is good. It has changed my outlook on football. There are things I did not know about how football is managed and coached. It is now upon me to transfer this knowledge to my players,\u201d said Akhulia.<\/p>\n<p>The coaches are expected to practice for at least one year before they can progress to the next level. The extensive four-month course included attachments at top-level clubs for all coaches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
