Since I have been in Asia now for one year I see that the coaching level in this part of the world (and I assume in Africa too) is quite low. There are of course some good coaches but most of them are somehow naturally talented to coach and have not taken any formal training like it is done in Europe and USA. Roger Federer is naturally talented for tennis and he would still play good tennis even if he hadn't taken any tennis lessons. But he wouldn't be #1. ;) I understand completely.
