I saw this morning advertisement for National Assistant Head Coach for the Jamaican Scorpions and it was clearly well thought out and prescient.Unfortunately I am unable to transfer it to this platform as my technological skills are piss-poor
However here is a synopsis of what is in it.

1.REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Level 3 qualification, minimum level 2 qualification
Nationally accredited First Aid Certification
Nationally accredited Child Protection Certification
Nationally accredited CPR or AED usage

COMPETENCIES
Technically competent in skill acquisition-batting,bowling & fielding at the local,National,Youth and First class level
Effective communication,presentation,reporting and facilitation skills(oral and written communication)
Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office suite (Word,Excel,Power Point)
Proficient in the use of statistics, video analysis and on-field camera work
Excellent organization and time-management skills

EXPERIENCE

Coached a local club/parish association team in JCA competition
Playing experience at the First class and International level is desirable
A proven track record of developing talent at the local and/or first class level


I think this is a well thought out and wonderful set of skills which a coach should have

Putting aside the requirement for having coached a local club/parish association team, would Darren Sammy qualify under this criteria? cool

The number of applicants meeting that requirement should be few; not even sure GC Foster College graduates have the requisite skills set for the job!

The position should be open to at least Caribbean folks, especially since it's a cross-cultural affair!

Interpersonal skills missing from the job specification

In other words, he cannot even qualify for an assistant coach position, far less a head coach

Thanks cool

Lemme explain something you might not be aware of.There are usually 2 Assistant coaches.They are more concerned with the technical aspects of the game.The Head Coach is more about the overall strategy.Think about that my friend.

In reply to Dukes

Sammy still would not qualify to be head coach based on the criteria that YOU SAID is a “well thought out and wonderful set of skills that a coach should have” cool

Keep twisting tho Chubby Checker lol

Why is Reifer a former WI head coach deputy to Sammy in Kings set up?

I hope you are not suggesting the head coach should not be qualified

Do you understand the difference between the Chief Operating Officer (COO)and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Similarly the difference between the President and the CEO
or the President and the Prime Minister in most countries or in the case of the United Kingdom the KING and the Prime Minister

At some point what the Head Coach and the Assistant Head Coaches do will be made clear to you.Hopefully sooner rather than later.
