Coach Education
Taking place from December 9 to 13, the initiative was directed towards empowering coach educators in Asia with the necessary skills and knowledge to advance coach education programmes across the Confederation’s MAs.
The five-day long course saw 30 representatives from 15 MAs embark on an intensive learning experience that enabled them to gain insights into the best practices of delivering diploma courses at the A and B levels.
Curated to ensure a balance of practical as well as theoretical sessions, the course included activities that tested their skills in designing training sessions and analysing game situations.
At the same time, they participated in several classroom sessions where interactive discussions shed light on topics such as adult learning principles, individual and team performances, and the evaluation of training sessions.
Under the guidance of AFC Head of Coach Education Wim Koevermans and UEFA Instructor Ruud Dokter, the participants also explored topics such as the roles and responsibilities of coach educators and tutors.
Over the course of the five days, the tutors were also placed in small groups to interpret match scenarios among each other, thereby maximising opportunities to share ideas and exchange information.
With the AFC being the most diverse Confederation, the programme also allowed the participants to voice their concerns about challenges being faced by their respective MAs and collaborate on developing solutions.
“This AFC Coach Education Tutors' Course was a good opportunity for A and B License members in the West region to share the latest advancements in coach education,” said Koevermans.
“With refreshed knowledge and new ideas, the tutors are equipped with the tools necessary to enhance their own programmes in their respective MAs which will eventually lead to higher quality coaches at the domestic as well as continental level.”
