The Tanoke trainers' task is to lead the young players to skill training from which they can learn with the help of movements. In the Tanoke training the subject of the competition is expanding of personal skills of own. It is a question of self-development in that one should be better today than yesterday.

The development of the Maso plant is suitable for describing the Tanoke principle well. Maso is a bamboo species that grows in China and India. After the planting nothing seems to happen to the plant for five years, in spite of ideal growth conditions. Then the plant begins suddenly to grow like magic. The growth rate is so enormous that the stem lengthens more than half a metre per day. In six weeks the stem has reached the height of nearly 30 metres.

It is not a question of the magic. The phenomenal growth of Maso is the result of kilometres long roots, which the plant grew during the first five years.

Also in Tanoke training one wants to expand an exceptionally good movement database "roots” which would make it easier for the player to grow to his full measure as a football player and as a human being.
