NNOC calls on coaches to register for coaching forum
NAMPA
The Namibia National Olympic Committee (NNOC) is calling on local coaches to register for the second coaching forum that will be held in Windhoek on 8 September.
The NNOC and the Commonwealth Games Association (CGA), in conjunction with Olympic Solidarity, will host the coaching forum at Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) from 08:00 to 17:00.
The one-day event will focus on the importance of coaching as well as preparation of athletes from grassroots level to elite
status.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, NNOC president Abner Xoagub said the maiden edition of the forum was successful and they were now looking at improving
it.
“We have experts who will be leading the sessions, that's why it's important to have as many coaches as possible attending this event. We want all our coaches to learn from these experts and improve the way we do things going forward.”
He added that the NNOC and CGA made provision to accommodate coaches from all the regions in Namibia at this exciting coach education and sports science event.
“The coaching forum is free of charge, therefore coaches have to just get transport to Windhoek and we will cover their two-night accommodation for Friday and Saturday,” Xoagub said.
He stated that coaches attending the forum should bring their sportswear with for the practical sessions that will be
provided.
Activities that will be covered at the event are presentation on coaching at grassroots level, demonstration on chiropractic, physiotherapy, biokinetics and sports nutrition.
Coaches and athletes will also be trained on warm-up sessions, general skills and techniques that illustrate the relation amongst all different sports and how coaches from different sport codes could work together. Coaches will also be taught the different cool down
techniques.
Interested coaches are requested to contact Marja Woortman on 085 128 4765 or email [email protected] or Annatjie Geleni on 081 122 6060 or [email protected] to register for the
forum.
