The refresher training programme focused on key areas including fundamental sports skills and techniques, injury prevention, rehabilitation and recovery, hydration and sports nutrition, stress management, and athletes’ mental health. The sessions were designed for coaches, Physical Education Teachers (PETs), Physical Directors (PDs), athletes and sports enthusiasts.
The programme also adopted a cascading training model, wherein the trained coaches, PETs and senior athletes will further disseminate the knowledge and best practices to budding athletes at the grassroots level, ensuring wider outreach and long-term impact.
The initiative is aimed at strengthening the sports ecosystem in Telangana by improving coaching standards, promoting scientific training methods, enhancing awareness on athlete welfare and identifying and nurturing sporting talent from every district, particularly from rural areas.
The programme received an excellent response from participants across the state, with coaches, athletes and Physical Education professionals appreciating the Government’s initiative to make quality sports education accessible even in remote regions.
