Delhi, India (April 15) – The Wrestling Federation of India organized a Level 1 Coaching Course late last year. The course was led by UWW Certified Educators Mr. Ahmed Khedhri (TUN). “Educator Mr. Ahmed Khadari conducted this course in excellent way. His unique pedagogical style and vast experience makes a lot of positive impact. All participants gained knowledge and shared experience about different topic. All are eager for next level course.” Said Mr. SB Prasad (National Team Coach).

During the 4 days of training, the 45 participants implemented an integrated framework combining theoretical instruction and practical application, with the aim of developing participants’ coaching competencies. The theoretical component addressed a comprehensive range of topics, including risk assessment and safety management, discovery-based learning, communication and coaching methods, effective strategies for teaching new techniques,  and the roles and responsibilities of the coach.  The practical component included performance assessments and field-based training sessions designed to reinforce the knowledge acquired and apply it within realistic training environments, ensuring effective integration between theoretical understanding and practical execution. “The participants demonstrated a consistently high level of engagement and professional commitment throughout the course. Their active involvement, openness to correcting existing concepts and acquiring new knowledge, as well as constructive exchanges of experience, contributed significantly to enhancing the learning process.” said Mr. Khedhri.
