“I will sent a report on suggestions we designed for the best situations in sports development to Dr Ong Kong Swee (Sarawak Sports Corporation CEO). “I feel confident for I give them a target of what they want to be as coach in 10 years to have their mission and coaches never feel comfortable if they never learn but I gave them the information.
“One important thing is that I made them remember by making them laughed not because Im a joker and also use anecdotes for you will never learn from books or literature,” said St. Hilaire.
Apart from lecture sessions, the Canadian coach – who had coached world class athletes including Canadian sprinter and long jumper Bruny Surin and high jumper Kwanku Boateng beside our Sarawak sprinter Watson Nyambek -also gave practical sessions with the coaches and members of the local AXIS club.
