Dear all,
As the scheduled start of the 2nd practical part of the programme to be held in Split from 10th -17th of June has been fast approaching I just want to provide you with some basic information about the planned program for this year practical.
The main theme to be addressed in the 2nd practical part of the programme is going to deal with Methodology and basic training principles of coaching high performance athletes, what includes dealing with both technical-tactical & physical conditioning aspects of training high performance table tennis athletes.
Regarding the experts coming for the 2nd year practical, as for the last year I’ve decided to engage a familiar face to all of you who attended the first practical session, in the form of Richard Prause, Sports director of DTTB (German Table Tennis Association), but also some new faces, namely, Jasna Rather ex Fazlić, former Olympic bronze medallist in women doubles from Seoul Olympics and two times European champion, nowadays the USA Table Tennis - Para Program Director and Texas Wesleyan University Head Table Tennis Coach, and prof. Zoran Djokić one of the most experience physical conditioning experts specialised for table tennis, who has been working with a large number of high performance and elite athletes not only from table tennis, but some other sports (like basketball) as well.
Beside the above mentioned lecturers I and some of my colleagues from university and sports institute will provide you with few lectures that will be related to the main theme of this 2nd practical part of the programme.
Of course, as for the 1st practical part of the programme it is expected from you to bring with you your sports equipment, both for table tennis training and for general fitness training.
I also kindly ask you to send me your travel details as soon as you’ll know them for certain for me to be able to organise transportation service for all of you coming to Split with airplane. For now, only Eirik provided me with it.
The scheduled start of the 2nd practical has been set for 18:00 h on Sunday 10th of June.
During the practical I also intend to find 15-20 min. for each of you individually to discuss with you about your current status and progress in the programme, to see how I can help further to your study endeavours and for us together to make some kind of action plan aiming to put you on the right track to complete the study programme successfully.
Manny greetings to all and looking forward seeing you soon in Split once again.
