The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) gathers known sports specialists and educators for a set of lecture-workshops in the 2020 National Sports Summit on February 27 to 28 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.
In line with the theme, “Creating a clear vision of Philippine Sports,” the PSC aims to put into perspective the present status of sports in our country and chart the path to be pursued to achieve excellence through this event.
Around 500 participants from different government agencies, private sector, national sports associations (NSAs), collegiate coaches and athletes from the UAAP, NCAA, and NCRAA and other stakeholders are set to attend the largest nationwide sports summit this year.
“This will be the second National Sports Summit of this scale since 1992 so we want it to be as inclusive as we can,” said PSC Chairman William Ramirez.
Dr. T.J. Rosandich, President and CEO of the United States Sports Academy (USSA) will give a lecture on Sports Success from a first world perspective.
Leading the institution founded by the late Thomas Rosandich in 1972, USSA has brought their sports programs to over 60 countries to date.
Dr. T.J. Rosandich’s sharing of his expertise is seen as a means to help local coaches, instructors, and sports managers in following the success of sports from a First World perspective.
“In order to realize this, it is imperative for us to work with experienced people in the field to educate us about inclusive, grounded, and scientific measures vital in our production of an effective sports plan,” said Ramirez.
The Department of Education (DepEd) is also set to give discussions about the status of sports in schools led by Undersecretary Atty. Revsee Escobedo.
