PNG Coach Commission to be created

​High Performance Sport PNG has begun work to establish a PNG Coach Commission to support coaches in their development in PNG.

The notion sprouted from one of the key learnings at the recent Association of Sport Performance Centre congress attended by PNG Sports Foundation CEO, Peter Tsiamalili Junior.

 Although winning is often aligned to a high performance team/athlete, capacity building is key to the long term sustained success at the elite level.

Developing coaches, like any role within the sport ecosystem, must be continual and ongoing.

Trends, methods, research, practices all modify and change with time so it’s important and relevant for coaches to continually upskill themselves.
