Club career

[edit]

Jan Vaník was very interested in the education of young football players and already at Sparta Prague, he took care of the junior side through his own initiative. Later, when he had retired, he helped lead courses for youth leaders. J. Šoltys, J. Čapek, A. Šimperský and J. Čtyřoký, among others, owed their growth to his activities. Also, he helped develop Frantisek Planicka.[6] In 1918 Jan scored a total of 28 goals including friendlies. In 1920, Jan scored a total of 54 goals including friendlies. In 1921, Jan scored a total of 36 goals including friendlies.[7]
