Through this course, they added to our coaches’ scientific knowledge in their specialisms, which will qualify them to lead the training process with greater precision and knowledge, and raised the educational, training and psychological aspects of athletics. This approach to developing the federation’s staff will be a fixed part of the federation’s policy and strategy for development and progress towards the best; and this approach does not only cover preparing the federation’s technical staff, but we are also working to develop our administrative and financial staff, and we will hold courses and take part in them so that development covers all staff working at the federation.’
