00:21is always room for improvement.
00:24But let us not look at the glass half empty.
00:30Sometimes when we look at it in that way, we think about the negativity, on the negative aspects of life.

02:16First, the vice president of the TDFA, Colin Murray, indicated there are opportunities for players,
02:21but says they need to get the basics right.
02:24You have to practice the basics on your own.
02:30Don't wait for a coach.
02:33The coach will talk tactics.
02:36The coach will tell you where to run, how to run, and if to run.
02:41But if you can't trap, control, and pass a ball accurately, you're spinning top in mud.
