The purpose of the coaching courses is to train healthy athletes, increase interest in cycling, and promote its development.
Idman.biz, citing AZƏRTAC, reports that these remarks were made by Elnara Musayeva, Secretary General of the Azerbaijan Cycling Federation and head of the coaching courses, in an interview with journalists.
She stated that this is a pilot project: "Along with the cities of Ganja and Sumgayit, coaches from eight other districts have been invited to this course. Both theoretical and practical knowledge is taught here. Even athletes’ nutrition is monitored. I hope that through this project, together with the coaches, we will expand cycling to other regions as well."
The new project was launched at the Republican Velodrome with the joint organization of the Azerbaijan Cycling Federation, the Ministry of Science and Education, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The 12-day course will include coaches from 10 districts.
