Singapore, 26 October 2021 – Despite the challenges wrought by the pandemic, sport coaches have been resilient, adaptable, and remain committed to continue to learn and grow in the true spirit of sport. Since the start of the pandemic in 2020, they have attended over 300 upskilling programmes conducted by CoachSG that reached out to over 5000 coaches. In addition, CoachSG’s webinars and digital content on its social media platforms garnered over 45,000 views on average during this period. Today, the National Registry of Coaches (NROC) has more than 6200 members, triple the number since 2017; testifying to the growing professionalism of this community.
Through this 5th edition of the annual CoachSG Conference, CoachSG endeavours to continue to encourage the spirit of collective learning and challenge the boundaries for coaching innovation. Running between 26 October and 28 October 2021, it is hosted in a hybrid format following the COVID-19 SMMs. Keynote speakers at this year’s conference are Mr Wayne Goldsmith, renowned coach developer from Australia; Ms Yuko Fujii, first female head coach of Brazilian Men’s Judo Team and Singapore’s very own Mark Chay, coach of five-time Paralympic gold medalist, Yip Pin Xiu. Mr Goldsmith and Ms Fujii will join us virtually for the conference.
Gracing the CoachSG Conference 2021 – Sport Reimagined: Thriving Amidst Challenges, Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law, affirmed the critical role coaches play in the lives of Singaporeans, young and old, and encouraged all to remain nimble and adaptable in the face of the ongoing push towards a new normal.
