UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Six coaches from various parts of the world made the trip to Penn State last week to work with the Penn State track and field coaching staff and student-athletes as a part of the eighth edition of the International Coaching Enrichment Certificate Program (ICECP).
The ICECP is a six-week intensive coaches' education program broken into four modules that provides coaches from around the world an opportunity to attend lectures and presentations while participating in hands-on coaching work in the United States for the benefit of their education and career.
Penn State head track and field coach John Gondak and his coaching staff hosted Emanuela Aparecida Santana Coito (Brazil), Leyhor Tolud (Suriname), Josephine Mary Singarayar (Malaysia), Rashid Burnashev (Uzbekistan), Nedim Covic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Niuone Eliuta (Tuvalu) for a week of experiences while sharing with them the track and field facilities, workout routines, coaching strategies, sport science and introducing them to Penn State student-athletes.
The visit with the Penn State track and field program was a part of the ICECP's second module relating to sport-specific apprenticeship that allowed participants to observe and interact with coaches from National Governing Bodies (NGBs), university athletic teams or elite sport clubs in each of their respective sports.
