The submission of a report for an 8-month unsupervised practicum in Singapore will complete the course in 2014.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe IAAF Academy Diploma for Elite Coaches is the highest recognized achievement attainable in international athletics coaching. The holder of such a Diploma is recognized around the world as a coach who is not only highly experienced but has the knowledge to coach at the highest levels of the track and field profession.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this particular course special is that it will be conducted by the preeminent names in track and field, including legendary coaches Loren Seagrave, John Smith and Gunter Lange. Seagrave is the lead lecturer for the IAAF Academy worldwide who produced Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey, a double-World and Olympic champion and world record holder for the 100m sprint. John Smith is the lead coach for the US-based IAAF Academy who coached American sprinter Maurice Greene, another double-World and Olympic champion and world record holder for the 100m sprint.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe course followed a gruelling 11-hour a day schedule covering both theory and practical sessions over seven days. Attendees' performances were evaluated on the basis of four assessments: a pre-course written assignment, a poster presentation of each coach's working environment, a practical coaching component, and a final presentation of each coach's proposed unsupervised practicum to be carried out over the following eight months.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] Coach Tan and Loren Seagrave with Coach Tan's poster presentation[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] Coach Tan presenting a gift (Club Zoom T-shirt) to sprint guru John Smith[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] Demonstration by world junior long jump record holder Darya Klishina (7.07m) of Russia[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] Coach Tan making his final presentation before the examiners comprising Seagrave, Smith, Lange and USATF Director of Coaching Terry Crawford[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] Coach Tan with USATF Director of Coaching Terry Crawford[\/caption]","_et_gb_content_width":"1080","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_Academy1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4525,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions\/4525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clubzoom.org.sg\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
