Coaches and trainers from TSU and DepEd Tarlac Province and Tarlac City continued their sessions on community sports and wellness on Wednesday (February 28) during the training of trainers at the TSU Hotel in Lucinda Campus.
The topics covered for the second day of the "Training of Trainers for Community Sports and Wellness Impact" include sports leadership, discussed by Coach Ana Dulce Yango, sports project lead from CHED Central Office, and the "coach-as-a-model" under sports psychology, tackled by Prof. Jet Martine Geronimo, Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas' Ethics Review Board Head.
Coach Yango elaborated on the use of sports leadership to help aspiring athletes reach their goals and realize their potential in teamwork, excellence, and camaraderie.
The DanceSport national champion coach emphasized the importance of sports communication by building a relationship with the budget officer, principal, and other government heads.
She also shared the qualities of a sports leader, leadership experience, and strategic thinking in sports.
Meanwhile, Prof. Geronimo delivered the second part of sports psychology, explaining that the coach is a model for the athletes through motivation.
He said that motivation could be seen in three subparts (choices, effort, and persistence), like making choices to play sports, setting goals, and the decisions they make to train even during the off-season.
The three-day seminar and workshop were rolled out following the inked partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Provincial Government of Tarlac in November 2022.
TSU's initiated training of trainers aims to develop sports education in the province, unify sports policies and programs, and focus on grassroots development towards becoming a center for sports excellence in the country.
This is part of the CHED-funded university project titled "Tarlac State University Promotion of Awareness, Teamwork, And Health (PATH) towards Community Sports and Wellness." (jlmm-OPA)
