COACHES SPEAK ON HOW COVID HAS AFFECTED THEIR SPORTS

THE COVID PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED JUST ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE, AND OF COURSE SPORTS IS NO EXCEPTION. 

WHEREAS WE HAVE SEEN GLOBAL SPORT RETURNING, IT’S BEEN SLOW GOING IN MANY PLACES.

BUT SOME COACHES AND ATHLETES ARE FINDING WAYS TO COPE IN DIFFICULT TIMES.

COACH RON BLANCHARD SAYS THAT BECAUSE OF ITS LOW CONTACT, THE SPORT OF TENNIS HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE RECENT MONTHS.

MEANWHILE, SWIM COACH DAVID PETERKIN TOLD MBC SPORTS THAT THE ABSENCE OF COMPETITION HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR ATHLETES.

HE WENT ON TO SAY, HOWEVER, THAT IT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR COACHES AND PARENTS TO FOCUS ON MENTAL FITNESS AT THIS TIME.

SOME REALLY GOOD ADVICE THERE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMPETITION IN THE MONTHS TO COME.
