Fresh from obtaining his coaching permit at the World Taekwondo Federation/ Pan American Taekwondo Union coaching certification course which held in Las Vegas, USA, Chukwumerije confirmed that several changes have been made to the rules of the sport and that coaches in the country need to be acquainted with this development.
“I am grateful that I finally made it to the course after planning for it over a year ago. The new rules have really changed everything. The way a coach teaches his athlete must change if medals are to be won. Nigeria Taekwondo coaches will need to update their knowledge urgently if Tokyo 2020 is to be different.
The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games bronze medalist insisted that because of the changes, it will be difficult for even a previous medalist to make the podium now if not acquainted with the new rules.
Over 200 coaches from 60 countries attended the course in Las Vegas, USA.
