Coaches course concludes

Principal Correspondent

Bangalore: The turmoil in Indian cricket was a distant spectacle in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) as 27 coaches from all over the country packed their bags and got ready to leave at the conclusion of the 15-day Level III course here on Wednesday.

The coaches finished their exams and viva-voice schedules under the guidance of former England fast bowler and renowned coach Frank Tyson, who was assisted by Lalchand Rajput, B. Arun and Dr. Suratwala. And at the end of it, the coaches had a sense of satisfaction over the knowledge gained over the last fortnight.

Tyson, the architect behind the course, said: "Level III is all about learning more about bio-mechanics, exercise physiology, musculature, psychology and other related issues. It is an advanced course and is often considered as a stepping-stone to coaching at the highest level."

During the 15-day programme, the coaches also attended guest lectures by E.A.S. Prasanna, Kapil Dev, Chandu Borde, Kiran More and other experts.
