The course, headed by IAAF Lecturers, Oscar Gadea of Uruguay and Suriname’s Raymond Gilson will be held for 12 days with daily theoretical and practical sessions. “The IAAF has now brought about changes in the education system for the coaches and this is the first level-I course to be held in South America after the revamp,” said Gadea, in his deep Spanish accent.
