Iberian Snapshot – Spain, Portugal & Catalonia 2013

It is interesting that the game has lost momentum in the region, but it may not be on the way out. I wrote this article based on the real and tangible information, but there was much between the lines that is promising.

Both Dani in Spain and David in Portugal expressed the desire to "start again" by keeping things simple and kick starting the one-off challenges.Ii won't go into private conversations and the details, but David certainly has a potential "grand plan" lurking in his mind which is both plausible and achievable. It would involve all 4 "nations" (Spain, Portugal, Catalonia, Andorra) and would be like a travelling footy tour.

The ideas have been heard before, but never really enacted, and David certainly shows the passion and research to make it happen. Some of his ideas on introducing the game at school level are also valid and potentially game changing as a new market of future players is developed. All this is a long way off, but might be a better model to follow that the path taken to date.

It is true that employment (or lack of it) has a dominoo effect, causing peoples interests, opportunities and energies to change. But people like Dani and David understand better these challenges in their own countries, and I do believe that if they can turn things around, they will.
