Digicel, the Company that has been investing hugely in the development of the sport in Guyana has once again demonstrated its commitment to raising the general standard of the tournament and has commenced a series of workshops for coaches which is being conducted by personnel from the Guyana Football Coaches Association (GFCA) all across the country.
Yesterday, representatives from the GFCA Ivan Persaud and Andrew Hazel travelled all the way to the Seafield Community Centre at #42 Village, West Coast Berbice where they commenced a two-day workshop that will cover both theoretical and practical sessions for teachers attached to a number of schools registered to participate in this year’s tournament.
Persaud, who is also a Vice-President of the Technical Committee of the Guyana Football Federation dealt with the theoretical aspects of coaching and coaches responsibility in guiding the careers of their charges, while Hazel spearheaded the practical sessions with assistance from Persaud.
Persaud in his presentation to the 20-plus participants spoke about the important role coaches play in the development of players, adding that their responsibility apart from enhancing and developing the players’ skills, they were also tasked with nurturing and guiding their careers both on and off the field.
In addition to the role of the coaches, Persaud also touched on the subject of Hydration and Nutrition, stressing their importance in ensuring that a player is physically ready to take on the responsibility of playing a game for the entire duration if required.
Also present at yesterday’s Workshop was Tournament Co-ordinator Lavern Fraser-Thomas, who opened by thanking the participants on behalf of Digicel for participating in the sessions, while imploring on them to gather thoroughly what was being taught and return to their respective institutions with the understanding that they must pass on the information and techniques to the players.
The Company hopes to conduct more workshops in other regions before the scheduled start of competition.
