Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, former Thailand coach Kiatisak Senamuang, Liverpool Thailand Academy executive Surasak Areesawangkit and the club’s senior coaching manager Daniel Gavin attended the opening ceremony of the academy at DBS Denla British International School, reports the Bangkok Post.
LFC International Academy is the global youth coaching arm of Liverpool. Delivering the same coaching curriculum and techniques that are used with the club’s young players at the Academy in Liverpool, LFC International Academy teaches young participants how to play “The Liverpool Way” in countries across the world.
LFC International Academy Thailand is an official partner of the club that delivers coaching programmes under their guidance. Through daily communication with the technical and business teams in Liverpool, programmes are planned, delivered and administered to the high standards expected by Liverpool.
“It is very good to have the opportunity to convey a high-level football training programme to young people in Thailand. Learning the ‘Liverpool Way’ will allow children to develop skills in all aspects of football and learn the value of teamwork and professionalism,” said Heskey.
Kiatisak said, “The focus is on the ambition of the players. Everyone must have ambition like Liverpool’s big players. Everyone must learn and enjoy playing. Football is not just about scoring goals but also respecting and working with the team to create harmony in the team.”
