Coaches at the gym


As we enter the last straight line of the AOB/APB/WSB Coaches Instructors Workshop in Assisi, the focus of Monday 21 January was on the athletic preparation of the boxers.


In the morning session, Instructors Thomas Coulter and Rob McCracken gave a course on physical training (plyometric, interval training.) and proposed a revision of the basic nutrition rules for athletes. The session ended on a video made by Mr. Coulter on his methods of physical training.


After lunch, all participants head back to the gym for another practical session. Each coach had to demonstrate one exercise of "plyometric" and one "interval training" exercise. This enabled the instructors to see if all coaches have improved their abilities.


Tomorrow Tuesday 22 will be the last day of courses before all participants take examinations on Wednesday.
