LAGOS – A coach with the Lagos State Athletics Association, Adenuga Adegboyega, on Tuesday urged the management of schools to ensure that only certified coaches were employed to train pupils sports.
Adegboyega told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone in Lagos that through such training, athletes would be discovered in line with the technical requirements of the sports.
He said that this would also help the athlete to sharpen their technical abilities and enable them to excel. [eap_ad_2] “If the young athletes are trained by qualified coaches, they will be able to develop their talents further and ensure they get standard and uniform training,’’ Adegboyega.
The coach urged parents to encourage their children to indulge in sports so as to keep fit and discover talents.
“I just want to use this method to encourage parents to get their children involved in one sport or the other to encourage their mental growth,’’ Adegoyega said. (NAN) [eap_ad_3]
