lack of well organized warming up, cooling down and stretching exercise, deficiency of modern
method of coaching technique, tactics, fitness and psychological preparation, insufficient supply
of balanced diet and football training materials, lack of encouragement and motivation from
coaching staff, club officials and family, the club officials could not be committed to carry out
their responsibility. As a general solution to the identified problem the greater emphasis should
