The second day of the All Indian Football Federation's coaching seminar started with a group discussion with the participants divided into six groups.
Besides Baan, Scott O'Donell, technical director, Regional and Elite Academies, too was present in the seminar.
Toal expressed his views on current state of national youth teams.
"This is such a wonderful initiative to get so many coaches under one roof, that too for a week. It gives us the idea to exchange ideas. This was long due," Toal stated.
In his presentation which was appreciated by all, Toal encouraged all the participants to "express their opinions".
"We need to talk and question each other. Coaching is all about opinion and nothing is correct and definite. The more the opinion, the more the ideation," he defined.
"It's imperative to understand the difference between winning and development. At the Youth Development Programme, winning doesn't matter; but development does. You all as coaches need to differentiate it. It's necessary to strike the balance and marry both," Toal maintained.
Earlier in the day, Pradip Dutta, Fitness Coach, All India Football Federation, struck a balance on the Physical Preparation of Young Players.
An AFC Elite Panel Instructor, Dutta emphasised on the recovery of players, as he spoke at length about the dominant energy systems, ergo genesis, energy suppliers, limiting factors and training objectives. He also highlighted the comparison between early specialisation and multilateral development and also on duration of exercises.
