Over the long weekend (30 Sept. – 2 Oct.) I attended the National Coaching Congress organised by the Australian Track & Field Coaches Association. A fantastic opportunity to learn from others, exchange ideas, and network.
The highlight for me of course was meeting my childhood idol, Wolfgang Schmidt, silver medalist of the 1976 Olympics. I also enjoyed lively discussions with Vern Gambetta, Denis Knowles, Peter Lawler, Bryan Neigbour, Ken Harradine and many others.
On Sunday I also gave a well received presentation on “Social Media for Coaches”.
