NNOC calls on coaches to register for coaching forum

WINDHOEK, AUG. 30 – The Namibia National Olympic Committee (NNOC) is calling on local coaches to register for the second coaching forum that will be held in the capital on 08 September 2018.
The NNOC and the Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) in conjunction with Olympic Solidarity will host the coaching forum at Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) from 08h00 to 17h00.
The one-day event will focus on the importance of coaching as well as preparation of athletes from grassroots level to high performance and elite status.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, NNOC president Abner Xoagub said the maiden edition of the forum was successful and they are now looking on improving from their first event.
“We are having 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 woortman@iway.na or Annatjie Geleni on 081 122 6060 or info@olympic.org.na to register for the forum. – NAMPA
