Thirty women coaches have completed the first module of a three-part CAF C-License program in Abuja. They will begin a two-week internship with various teams shortly. The group, primarily composed of former Nigerian internationals and current coaches, underwent an intensive week of classroom and practical sessions led by coach educators and resource persons. This experience has given them a glimpse of what to expect in the upcoming modules.
NFF Technical Director, Coach Augustine Eguavoen, told thenff.com that the first module has shown that the women coaches are actually desirous of learning.
“I am very much impressed with their attitude, mannerisms and conduct through the first module. They impressed everyone, and the coach educators also told me they were impressed, and are looking forward to having them back for the second and concluding modules.
“We are grateful for the leadership of the NFF for the support and encouragement for coach-education programmes all the time.”
