"My expectations have been exceeded and I am really enjoyed the interaction that we achieved in the group and the feedback from the teachers, who responded to our concerns. In my current work as a technical director, I started to apply them from the beginning on a daily basis. The general structure of my team is better and we defined the roles and responsibilities of every position within it, which led to a more dynamic, effective and simple way of working."

"Being a leader for a Club, Team, or Players is not an easy task, and I think it is very important to develop knowledge beyond football. There are many things that I learned during the course, added to the ones I gained as a player. Now I can say that I am able to face the challenges of Football. What we learned from the experts was very good and enriching. To carry it out now will be the responsibility of each of us, since every individual will do that differently.” > Interview Jared Borgetti
