AIFF conducts online seminars on coaching methodologies

With the country under lockdown in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has conducted three online seminars in an effort to reflect on the methodologies applied in its coaching courses and chart out further improvements.

The online seminars conducted by AIFF head of Coach Education, Savio Madeira on April 1, 3 and 8 were attended by 14 instructors from all over the country.

The next seminar is scheduled for April 16.

"It's difficult to be away from the game. But at the same time the period serves us an opportunity to introspect on what we are doing. We need to find creative solutions, and keep in touch with coaches," former Indian national team assistant coach Mariano Dias told the-aiff.com.

"We at AIFF understand the power of the digital world. Technology can connect you with anybody in any corner of the world. Hence, we preferred to walk the path to chalk our plans and working together to bring about radical changes to the Coach Education system in India."
"The planning of training sessions is an important aspect. We have been able to come up with some creative ways to hold such sessions as well."
