With the goal of developing more coaches, PSC Oversight Commissioner for Women Celia Kiram plans to conduct a Women In Sports Conference next year, in partnership with Australia-based Filipino coach Patricia Puzon, as announced in the week-long women in sports conference which wraps up today.
“We want to reach and help more Filipina coaches. We at the Philippine Sports Commission are more than willing to do so,” shared Kiram on the third day of the on-going WIS Leadership and Coaching seminar at the Century Park Hotel, Manila yesterday.
“PSC Chairman William Ramirez and I envision a larger program for our women. Hence, we are starting to plan a conference for next year,” added Kiram, who is looking to partner with Puzon again.
Puzon, who is the current head coach of MAC’s CrankIt Tennis Academy in New South Wales, Australia, added that an initial proposal will be submitted to the PSC to push through the conference.
“I am very thankful to the PSC for having this initiative for the betterment of our women in sports. I am excited for this development,” said Puzon.
The seminar started Monday with over 150 national coaches, trainers and local government sports representatives learning the fundamentals of coaching and the importance of communication skills and working with athletes.
