Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) athletic director Jon Inot and Department of Education Cebu City sports coordinator Francis Ramirez spearheaded the two-day seminar, which was well received with around 70 teachers from different public and private schools in Moalboal.
Inot taught the teachers to design their own sports programs, identify the challenges and find the solutions.
“The seminar was more of an interactive discussion; a guide for the teachers on how to plan, what to do and how to do it. There is no perfect formula on coaching and winning, but what I think is the most important thing is the mindset and the attitude of how one coaches. The purpose and the commitment to coaching is what I think is the X factor that makes one a good or even, better coach,” said Inot.
Meanwhile, Ramirez gave some vital information on the second day of the seminar. He discussed the changes of Palarong Pambansa structure and also gave them advice on which sport can give them more individual medals.
On the other hand, University of Cebu (UC) and SHS-AdC coach Sai Bacalso and Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas’ Reynaldo Cañete also had seminars with local basketball coaches and referees.
Bacalso updated the barangay-based coaches with the new trend in basketball, a zone-free style of play in his two-day seminar.
Cañete, in the meantime, imparted his knowledge on the Moalboal-based referees, which will be officiating the inter-barangay league.
“I am very thankful to Mr. Bacalso and Canete for sharing their knowledge with our officials and I am confident that the two seminars will have a major impact in our local basketball community,” said Mayor Cabaron.
The 1st Inocentes Cabaron Summer Academic and Athletic Enhancement program is a summer sports and academic program that also includes sports like chess, arnis, volleyball, badminton, tennis, table tennis, sepak takraw and dancesports. (EKA)
