The press conference for the MXGP Academy (@ Youthstream)
After the qualifications on the first day of the MX GP in Valkenswaard (The Netherlands), Youthstream and FIM Europe organised a press conference for the MXGP Academy.
The trainers of the Academy are busy all over the year with riders training in several European Countries. Besides this it is important to pay attention to the skills of the trainers.
In January many KNMV trainers took part to a special course for trainers in Sport center Papendal, in The Netherlands.
These trainers were invited in order to receive the certificates in Valkenswaard.
Giuseppe Luongo from Youthstream is enthusiastic about the progress of the Academy trainers: “Young, good educated riders are the future and the base for the pyramid which works very good in motocross. Part of this is the training of trainers, they have influence in the development of our sport”, stated Giuseppe Luongo.
Martin de Graaff pointed out what the Academy trainers will do in 2016. “Involving trainers, coaches and parents in the development of young athletes like motocross riders is of main importance”, stated de Graaff, FIM Europe 1st Deputy President.
The KNMV trainers received the certificates, if other federations will organise a training like this it is possible to contact FIM Europe with a request. In a few months a training will be organised in Teutschenthal.
Martin van Genderen, the coordinator and trainer of the MXAcademy handed over the certificates to the trainers.
