New Delhi: Twenty five coaches from across India, including former internationals AK Bansal and Baljeet Saini, participated in the seven-day FIH-Hockey India High Performance coaching course which concluded here on Friday. During the course, which was held from February 16 to 22, FIH successfully launched Webinar, a new coaching development tool. The first-of-its-kind FIH Coaching Webinar course included all the participants present during the course.
In the week-long coaching course, which was conducted by master coach Tayyab Ikram and grade 1 coach Siegfried Aikman, the participants watched the matches of the ongoing Hero Hockey World League Round 2 and did analyses of those games. Former internationals including Dr AK Bansal (Coach, Delhi Waveriders), Baljeet Saini (Coach, Jr National Mens Hockey Team and Ranchi Rhinos), BJ Kariappa and Sandeep Sangwan were also among the participants.
"This is an effective way for coaches to learn and develop. With minimal time and money investment, the participants can gain vast knowledge," FIH President Leandro Negre said. Ikram addressed the group of coaches via webcam and was supported with various video clips to enhance the learning experience.
The Webinar also promotes a transfer of knowledge as it was demonstrated how Games Analysis can be conducted by sharing footage on line. The successful launch also observed the interactive tools to discuss High performance coaching contents. Ikram said that besides its global approach FIH would like to reach 200 coaches in India as trial by the end of this year and introduce this concept throughout India via webinar where coaches in groups could participate from different parts of India at the same time.
"This course will really help our coaches to enhance their coaching skills and understand new developments in international level of coaching. I am sure that they will bring all these learnings into practice when they return to coaching players and teams," said HI secretary general Dr Narinder Batra.
