I attended the Coaching Science seminar at UM today. Glad that my friend, Selina, who works in the department (UM), invited me. Very informative seminar. It was a joint collaboration between the two unis to exchange and share knowledge in researchng their approach to Sports Scinece and also in relation to their PhD programme.
Haven't attended a lecture class for a long time. Initially there were supposed to be 4 invited lecturers from Unversity of Sydney but one could not make it due to unforseen circumstances. She was supposed to give a talk on "Preparing Youth Coaches". Too bad, would have gain some insight into coaching. But I got loast when they talk too much on scientific or technical terms. Hello, not from science class lah!
Some of the attendees in the seminar
Dr. Abdul Halim Mokhtar, Director of Sports Centre, UM - Welcoming Address
A/Prof Dr Martin Thompson - Training & Recovery
Dr Helen O'Connor - Current Trend in Nutritional Practices for Elite Athletes
Dr Peter Sinclair - Systematic Analysis of Factors Determining Performance
Although the topics are too wide to be covered in a half day seminar, the speakers did well in delivering the topics from their specific field of expertise. I enjoyed the seminar espeially topics delivered by Dr Martin and Dr Helen. Maybe cause both used a lot of examples on endurance athletes. Dr Martin himself has completed a 100-mile (yeap, a hundred mile, not KMs) before. He mentioned he did a time of 13 hours plus. That's almost an equivalent of a sub 3:20 for every marathon distance. Damm!
Hope there are more of these type of seminars, who knows I might just taking up coaching as a career.
