The Banzai Cup - Berlin 2011

 The Banzai Cup proved to be an ideal warm up for those attending the WKF Junior World Championships in Malaysia.  Attendending countries were England, Scotland, Wales, Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Russia and of course Germany1 (I'm sure I've left a few out lol).  As my role as National coach (and regional coaches)  international coaching is of paramount importance.  In addition to supporting your club athletes we get to see whats going down!!!  Reflect, review and plan new drills and training adaptations.

What did I learn? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm  !! When coaching elite athletes who already have a high level of technique, the emphasis should be placed on tactical awareness and this should be relected to training sessions.
