Why should I play in Siena?

Published by  Julieta | 2008-12-01 12:17:30

MyBestPlay has interviewed  AC Siena's authorities. This italian club plays  in Serie A,  which is one of the championships more competitive in the entire world and by the way, it takes part in MyBestPlay.



-How do you describe your work in the junior teams in AC Siena?
I think that working in this club  is a proud for me  because a young boy has all what he need. I mean training and learning  are much  more pleasant than other institutions. The club is completely professional, the kids study in the morning in our school, and train in the afternoon. On Saturday they play matches. Trainers have work schedules and they’re always willing to advise  and help the football player.

Where do the players come from?
 -The Siena has always had an open door policy, so we receive athletes from a lot of  places around the world. Obviously, most come from Italy, and many European countries as Russia and Turkey. South America also have plenty of junior players with future growing expectations. They share the same desire to succeed day by day and I think that the cultural exchange is great for their learning.

What sort of attention will the foreign players receive?
-Once you’re chosen, you will be given  a Siena scholarship and a full pension from the club in order to make you fell well and  to avoid the homesick, since we’re dealing with little boys.  It's hard to leave the family far away, besides the fact you have to live in a country where you unable to speak your language.  So, we’re organ Italian lessons.

Where is the training camp located and what facilities do you provide?
-It’s located on the outside of the city. There are several soccer fields with different surfaces, teenagers train in a grass field, and the older (Category "Spring" from 17 to 20 years) do so in a stadium where tournament matches are played. These young people will stay in a hotel near the stadium where they enjoy breakfast and dinner together.

What are the benefits of being part of AC Siena?
-First you have to know that we’re talking about  a prestigious club, with a long history in Serie A, and besides Siena is such a great city, both in a culture and architecture way, located between the cities of Florence, and Rome . It’s a worthwhile city for children to learn to play football in high competition.

Show your talent on MyBestPlay.com and you’ll have more possibitites to succeed

Published by  Julieta | 2008-11-21 12:42:49

Having a video of your game clips,  will help you to communicate with coaches, agents and clubs in a profitable way. Actually, athletes who send their video resume have more possibilities to succeed with professional sports organizations.
On a regular basis, agents ask for videos footage because it’s the most useful tool to check the player’s abilities.
Mongi Elfahem Famcop, who is a well-knownTunisian agent, points out: “In fact, videos works as a reference, and taking into account the virtual  environment over Internet, the video becames itself as the real CV of the player. In a nutshell, sportmen who don’t have video footage, are usually not professional people that an agent would want to engage with."

A new technology available for cyclists

Published by Julieta | 2008-11-03 17:33:04

In the cycling competition, just a few seconds can make the difference. So, if you want to be famous, you need  to train hard. Ambient Intelligence - an intelligent sensor system- helps cyclists to improve their performance.
The new intelligent training system has already proved to be worthy and successful in the labs.
In a research project called Bel-Ami, Mr. Becker and a team of scientists specialized in Ambient Intelligence, at the University of Kaiserslautern, have developed a special sensor network to help cyclists to improve their performance. More than ten riders can train at the same time. Each bike is adjusted with the entire equipment which allows to count the forces on the pedals.


Other important issues are the pulse and frequency, the speed and slope. All these stuff, is collected in a special system  and are sent by radio to a central headquarter where they’re analyzed.
On the whole, the computer make recommendations of the individual training for each sportman: He can see them on a screen or listen them directly through the headphones.
Ambient Intelligence will be ready in the coming months: "It will be the most important test for our system. Cycling means a special challenge because the position is undetermined. They might make subgroups with a certain distance," explains one of the researcher. Scientists are working with students now, but next year they will be testing this system with professional sportmen.

Gavin Lee from the BBC talks about his investigation on fraudulent agents

Published by  Mara | 2008-10-23 14:48:12

Gavin Lee, a reporter for BBC network in London, has recently carried out a thorough investigation on the many cases of fraudulent football agents who con young African players.
Mybestplay is grateful to Gavin Lee for sharing his experience on such a  meaningful investigation.

MBP - How have you become interested in the case of fraudulent agents?
Gavin Lee - The investigation started earlier this year after we received a tip off concerning fake football agents who were posing as talent scouts from top premier league English football clubs to young African hopefuls. The initial research traced the roots of the scam to some adverts on several sports websites. Numerous so-called 'representatives' of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool were offering trials in return for a registration fee. Somone claiming to be Manchester United's scout was promising a two year trial, free accommodation, food and flights, after the receipt of a one thousand pound fee. There was even someone posing as Chelsea's genuine chief talent scout Mike Emenalo. These fraudsters were preying on thousands of naïve young African hopefuls, who were posting their personal details online in desperation to play English football.

MBP - How did you proceed with the investigation?
Gavin Lee - I contacted many who revealed how they, and others as young as 12, predominantly from Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast, had paid between five hundred and two thousand pounds, money often scraped together by families from some of the World’s poorest neighbourhoods. These conned young players told of the embarrassment and shame of having to tell their families the money, along with the fake agents had vanished.

We then went undercover to track down the football fakes. A World Service producer would play the part of 'John Sante', the fictitious father of an African player keen to play in England. We focused on two conmen offering trials at Chelsea and Manchester United. Ibrahim with his strongest Ghanaian accent set about convincing them his 'son' was desperate for a trial. He deserves an equity card for his acting ability, as he extracted lies from the fraudsters, all surreptitiously recorded.

The fake Manchester United agent 'Paul Jones', told us that on the night United won the European Championship in Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson was more interested in  receiving our player’s money, a regular theme of the conversations. The conmen were insistent we wire the money, over two thousand pounds.They were reluctant to meet in person, their excuse that currently based in Nigeria on a recruitment drive, they could only meet if we travelled to Lagos. Our undercover reporter maintained contact with the two fake agents throughout the week. We then received the call we'd hoped for, to meet a 'Dr Frank Johnson', Manchester United's 'top Nigerian scout'. Meeting in person meant a higher registration fee of £3,700 which Ibrahim agreed.


Gavin Lee during his investigation

MBP -  Could you finally meet Mr. Johnson?
Gavin Lee - After several phone calls, fake agent 'Mr Johnson' agreed to meet our undercover reporter. At the agreed moment, 'when our undercover reporter coughed', we confronted Mr Johnson asking why he was conning so many young African players. He was a huge man, and I maintained a careful distance but repeatedly questioned him about his scam. It procurred an apology from him, and he ended the interview mouthing the words “just arrest me”. He got his wish, and the police took him away for questioning.  
 
MBP - What is your conclusion about this case?
Gavin Lee - In concluding this investigation, it is clear that there are so many conmen working to con young footballers. FIFA, the world's governing body are clear on their stance when they say professional players in the U.K and Europe can only approach African players for trials, if and only if, the player is a member of their national team. CLUBS WILL ALSO NEVER CHARGE A PLAYER FOR A TRAIL!


You will be find the whole investigation on the BBC website here.

Resistance and training

Published by Julieta | 2008-10-15 14:07:47

In order to achieve easier communications and spread the work of professional coaches and trainers, MyBestPlay has published in its main blog all themes related to technical issues, physical training  , practices, trials and so on. This information will be available for all sports according to the desires and the needs of our trainers and coaches. 
To give you an example, the Professor Daniel Alves, who is from Brazil, has sent us a copy to reply for this proposal. We enclose here his opinion:
The resistance in football game can’t be compared to travel long distances. The game is highly unsettled and counts with significant changes between intervals.  Thus, when it comes to training, there is no point in having regular breaks by rule. In my view, the traditional resistance works out as a complement, but on the other hand, the best way of training is the game itself.  Games adapted, with different dimensions, rules, number of participants mean not only a strict control of the situation, but also integration and flexibility.
