Olympic Solidarity Course in Cyprus
The Weightlifting Federation of Cyprus organized a Coaching Course in Cyprus, in March 2022 which was supported by the IOC’s Olympic Solidarity program and IWF.
The seminars were conducted on 3 weekends in March and due to some travel restrictions still in place, the theoretical parts were arranged via Zoom webinar.
For the final weekend all 3 experts, Ms. Denise Offermann from Cyprus, Mr. Georgios Saroglakis and Mr. Dimitris Ioannidis from Greece traveled to Cyprus to have 3 full days of practical sessions.
Alltogether 19 participants took part and listened to various presentations among others on:
- Theory of the Coaching Pathway,
- Coaching Skill development,
- Competition Preparation and End Phase Theory,
- Code of Ethics and Fair Play and The Winning Attitude – athlete’s mind set.
The course was a major step in the development of the Weightlifting Federation of Cyprus in all regions and therefore a great success.
The Weightlifting Federation of Cyprus appreciated the support of IWF, Olympic Solidarity and Cyprus Olympic Committee in organizing this course.
