| The most
pleasurable experience of the course was to take a photo with Haile
Gebrselassie. Most treasured photo for me, as he passed by me to take photo. |
It
was a great experience meeting Haile, from Ethiopia, who was my
inspiration for breaking the national record from 2hr 29, my own
national record to 2hr 28min and finally to 2hr 24min 22sec in Chiangmai
SEA Games 1995 in the marathon. As for the SAA IAAF level One course, I
have written a summary of it. I hope that you are eager to read it.
Finally, I have completed the course. It was 10 sessions of a full-day course. Morales Menon, from
SAA, was the one who was organising the course. Morales was a very
helpful person in the course. The lecturers during the course were Jana
and Joseph. I enjoyed the course conducted by the two lecturers.

As
Joseph is a distance coach in the past, I found that there were
some silmilar approaches in our coaching methods. This is just my
subjective experience. There were a number of led up approaches that he
showed that is important to groom children.
As for Jana, since she is a throwing coach, there were new things that I learnt.
The
theory test was an open book test. As I have my own experience, and
also the teaching that Jana and Joseph had given, throughout the theory
the test, I did not have to look through any of the books for answers. I
am thankful for both lecturers for their clear presentation. If there
was a need to look at the answers in the book, I would have done that.
But I didn't.
I
may be sharing other things that has happened during the course. Maybe
in the future, I may do it. I have given my feedback on the course to
the two lecturers. They were long ones but I believe that the feedback
will help.
There
are other photos that I would like to share. I shall put it up on a
later date. I believe that you will be happy to see the photos.
