ODENSE, DENMARK
(Tuesday,
March 07,
2006) – A
record number of coaches registered and attended the
course on Developing the Creative Personality of Female
Players this past Sunday. Over 60 coaches and 17
clubs attended the sessions.
"Unbelievable! Never have we had that many
coaches attend a course like this. It's
great!" said Gantzhorn, former Women's National
Team coach and former Director of Coaching Education for
the FBU region of Denmark. Keld Gantzhorn was
responsible for setting up the program before leaving
his position as director.
The course is
focused on training coaches to develop and
implement curriculum on developing the creative
personality in female players. Coaches spent
6 and 1/2 hours on Sunday observing training
sessions conducted by George Sasvari,
participating as players, and in the classroom
reviewing the curriculum. Additionally this
week, a different group of players are being
taught each night for 2 hours as directed by the
Sasvari and trained by coaches attending the
course. On the first night of training over
50 players attended in temperatures below freezing
and snow to participate in the sessions with their
coaches. The record temperatures and late
snow for this time of year has not curbed their
enthusiasm for learning the curriculum that is
slowly taking hold in Denmark. "I think
the coaches appreciate the balance between the
tactical side of Danish football and the creative
attacking side of U.S. football." according
to Sasvari. The appreciation is
growing as clubs are requesting extra time in
Sasvari's schedule to handle personally work with
their clubs.
