| Former international Mogan organises coaching clinic for students Posted: 09 Oct 2012 06:57 AM PDT THE Race Walkers Association of Malaysia (RWAM) organised a coaching clinic as well as competition at SMK Bukit Mewah in Seremban, Negri Sembilan recently. Former international R. Mogan, who won a gold medal in the 1995 Chiangmai SEA Games, was given the responsibility to organise the programme. He also conducts a weekly training programme at SMK Bukit Mewah. Mogan said about 100 participants, including a group from Kuala Lumpur, attended the programme. "We had invited some former walkers as well as technical official to brief the participants on the correct walking techniques. We strongly believe in teaching the juniors the right way. If they learn the wrong techniques, it could lead to disqualifications when they race,'' said Mogan. After the two-hour clinic, the participants were given the chance to take part in the competition. There were two age groups — Under-12 and Under-18 — for both boys and girls. There was also section for men and women. Mogan said he was impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the participants. "They were prepared to learn. Some of them showed excellent techniques and had the potential to excel. They should be given the opportunity to take part in more competitions. Otherwise it will be difficult for them to improve,'' said Mogan. |
