Meanwhile, the Chief Operating Officer of COERVER COACHING, Mike Smith, has revealed his excitement at seeing “Coerver® Coaching return to Nigeria after the first ever training course was held in 2016.
According to Smith, “Our Youth Diploma 1 course has been delivered in over 30 countries and has won acclaim from grass-roots and professional coaches alike for its innovative, practical material and the results that come afterwards in the development of skill, confidence and creativity in coaches and their players. There is clearly potential to significantly improve the football experience for young people across Nigeria, and it all starts with developing better coaches.”
