YOGYAKARTA Many people want to be football players, but not many people want to be football coaches. Please note that being a football coach doesn't have to have the experience of being a world-class professional football player. Then, how to become a football coach?

The first step you have to do is get a license as a football coach from the football federation. This rule also applies in Indonesia and around the world. Licenses for prospective coaches from Indonesia were issued by the Asian football confederation, AFC.

The AFC provides four coaching licenses namely Grassroots (National D licenses), C-AFC, B-AFC, A-AFC, and AFC-Pro (highest). To achieve the highest license, prospective coaches must start from the National D License, then slowly rise to the C-AFC level, continuing sequentially to B-AFC, A-AFC, and AFC-Pro. To get this license, the steps that must be taken are as follows.

Despite getting a football coaching license, you must also have other aspects that are also important for a prospective coach, as follows.

Flying hours as a coach are also a consideration. Flying hours are also considered as a condition for taking coaching courses held by the AFC.

Coaches are not only required to know about football but also tactics. Their knowledge must be balanced to win on the pitch.

Communication with players is an important key in building a football club. Players and coaches must be able to work together so that victory can be achieved. Without good communication, cooperation will not be established properly.

Insights possessed by a coach will help him implement football strategies. For example, a coach has insights into the protein rules that his players must get. This will make the players' stamina better so that victory can be achieved easily.
