Coaches Must Share to Elevate Jamaican Football | Jamaica News
Description
Andre Waugh, Concacaf’s head of coaching education, is demanding a seismic shift in Jamaican football coaching culture—ending the toxic grip of secrecy and self-interest that’s sabotaged national team performances. At a major Jamaica Football Federation conference, over 100 coaches were urged to stop hoarding knowledge and embrace collaboration, arguing that true progress is built on shared expertise, not competitive isolation. With the Reggae Boyz and Under-20s failing to qualify for World Cups, Waugh and fellow coaches like Merron Gordon are pushing for transparency—even revealing tactical secrets like defending set plays—to elevate the entire game. He warns that without better-coached players, Jamaica risks losing its top talent to foreign clubs, citing the 13-year drought of selling players for over a million dollars. The message? Coaching excellence isn’t solo—it’s collective, and the future of Jamaican football depends on it.
