GBR and UWW working together

24/09/2015

Eric Ciake and Trevor Hoskins have been asked by United World Wrestling to deliver United World Wrestling Courses in other countries.

In a “feather in the cap” for the UKCC (UK Coaching Certificate) Programme, Eric and Trevor, who are both UKCC tutor/assessors, are part of a pool of United World Wrestling licensed educators called upon to deliver the United World Wrestling’s Wrestling Academy Coaching courses.

UKCC tutor skills have helped with the build and delivery of the courses.

Trevor is currently in Cambodia delivering a United World Wrestling Level 1 course. Previously, Eric has delivered courses in Tanzania and Malawi.

United World Wrestling has previously shown a keen interest in GBR’s Talent Pathway which led to a 1 hour presentation by Joanna Madyarchyk to the Men’s and Women’s Freestyle Coaching Course in Rio de Janeiro back in November 2014, (link).

United World Wrestling representatives had found out about the GBR UKCC Coaching Course and the Talent Pathway and followed up for further information with a delegate visit to the BWA, two Skype-meetings and finally a briefing during the September 2014 World Championships.

It is good news for GBR to gain this visibility with United World Wrestling, great experience for those asked by United World Wrestling to take part and, lastly, but by no means the least important, United World Wrestling and Olympic Solidarity funds all coaching projects and courses.
