The Spanish Basketball Federation renews its sports structure
The Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) is transforming its organizational model to operate more effectively and align with the current reality of world basketball. This strategic move directly responds to the growing trend of national young prospects choosing to train and compete in foreign leagues, especially in the United States. 🏀
A global network to not lose track of talent
The core of the change lies in building an integral system to identify and analyze athletes. This network aims to track and evaluate every Spanish player developing in any competition on the planet, with a special focus on the NCAA university circuit. The national team coach, Chus Mateo, is directly involved to maintain a permanent communication channel with these athletes.
Fundamental pillars of the new strategy:- Deploy a meticulous mechanism to locate talent in any international league.
- Analyze players' performance and evolution with advanced tools.
- Ensure a fluid and personalized connection, led by the national team's technical staff.
"We work so that every player, wherever they are, feels they are part of what we call The Family." - Declared approach of the FEB.
Strengthen commitment beyond distance
Beyond the purely sporting aspect, the renewal seeks for players to perceive constant support from the institution. The FEB and Mateo will work to ensure these athletes, despite the geographical distance, remain emotionally connected to the national team project. This personal bonding strategy aims to enhance their future willingness to wear the Spain jersey when required.
Key actions to build belonging:- Proactive communication and individualized follow-up of each athlete.
- Constantly transmit the values and collective project of "The Family."
- Ensure players feel valued and on the national team's agenda.
A continuous effort for the future of Spanish basketball
This transformation is not a one-time change, but a long-term structural effort. It involves adapting work methods to compete in a global talent market, where identifying, retaining, and loyalizing the best is crucial. The image of Mateo making transatlantic video calls will become a symbol of this new commitment, with a clear goal: ensure that the next basketball world phenomenon defends the colors of Spain. 🇪🇸
