All the modules of the course were covered, including the planning and development of training sessions, while physical training topics were delivered through video sessions. These presentations boosted many interesting group discussions, as Mr. Van Der Velde incorporated some interactive learning methods in order to bring theory and practice together.

 

“It is of great importance to regularly organise the ISSF D-Course for coaches in this region,” said Mr. Van Der Velde. “In order to get enough quality coaches to develop high level shooters.” He also hopes that some of the participants will go forward to attend a future ISSF C-Course.

 

“I was very happy to see great motivation and attention coming from the students during the course. Active involvement and discussions took place throughout the weekend. This will introduce good activities into the daily training of shooters all over Netherlands,” added Mr. Yli-Jaskari.
