their experiences with our younger Coaches in relation to their preparation
and participation of their athletes, and to share ideas with their fellow
national coaches.
The program will kick start with a panel of Coaches from Individual Sports
and Team addressing the young and upcoming Coaches and senior Coaches that
are involved in the mentoring program re their experiences coaching a
National Team.
This session will be followed by 30 minutes of group interactions finishing
off with recommendations for the development of Coaches in PNG.
Support for Kumuls

selection but reaffirmed their confidence and trust with the team. “Despite
my two players missed on the final 25 -men squad to play in Wales and
