Asian Soccer Stars Nominated at BASA

February 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Asian Soccer Star, London – The 10th annual British Asian Sports Awards (BASA) has a number of nominees involved at different levels of British football; from centre of excellence level to playing professionally and coaching.

The British Asian Sports Awards (BASA) was founded by Sony Entertainment Television Network in 2000 and has grown to be the biggest Asian sports awards in the UK. It was set up to globally showcase the immense sporting talent that exists within the Asian community in the UK.

This year sees nominations for one of the original Chelsea Asian Soccer Star Search winners A’aamer Kstantin Murphy; who since winning the competition has gone on to sign a two-year contract with Leyton Orient’s academy. As one of three nominees for the Junior Sports Personality of the Year, A’aamer has a good shot at winning.

Other nominees representing Asian soccer are Raajan Singh Gill, Danny Tanveer Baath, Krishnan Patel and Micheal Chopra.

But one of the nominees, up for the Outstanding Achievement Award, of particular interest to us at Asian Soccer Star is coach Baljinder Singh Lehal or Bal as he is known in coaching circles.

Bal is the only Asian Football Coach in the UK to hold The Brazilian Pro License, the highest coaching accreditation available. Last year, he made history when he led Team India in the first ever Street Child World Cup in South Africa to a win.

In August, Bal facilitated a unique project in Hertfordshire which saw 14 coaches from Spanish football team, Valencia, train over 100 youngsters. He has also done a lot of work to highlight important social issues through football such as his Striving For Unity Campaign.

Asian soccer stars come from all disciplines of football and Asian coaches are important to the development of future stars. Bal brings to the game a unique understanding of the Asian culture coupled with experience and a network that spans across professional UK and European clubs.

Asian soccer star, London -  Lots of kids have a dream of playing professional football, or soccer, as our American cousins call it. But how many really have what it takes to go all the way and fulfil their dream of becoming an Asian soccer star, playing in one of the professional football leagues?

As far as talent goes, there is no doubt that the British Asian community harbours a wealth of footballing talent. The challenge is in overcoming and navigating around all the obstacles that are put in the way of talented young Asian soccer stars.

Feedback from academy coaches is that when faced with a limited number of places, the safe bet is to recruit non-Asian players; unless of course you have a Ronaldo or Rooney in the making.

Why is this approach a safe bet? [Read more...]
