Wrestling instructor tips Nigeria to produce Olympic, World champions

American facilitator Zac Dominguez has expressed satisfaction with the attitude of the coaches towards improving their technical skills, game strategy, injury prevention, and player development at the ongoing IOC coaching course for the Nigerian wrestling coaches and referees.

Dominguez eulogised the coaches and referees for their willingness to learn new things in the sport.

“The officials are eager to learn and they are doing a fantastic job. I know you can’t see it but I can tell you that they’ve poured their hearts out to be coaches,” he stated.

“I can tell you that better coaches bring better athletes and then Nigeria will have a stamp on the map that will produce Olympic and World champions.

“I think this is the beginning of something great for Nigeria.”

Dominguez also thanked the Nigerian people for their warm hospitality.

Meanwhile, the President of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Daniel Igali, commended the level of work put in by the internationally approved facilitators.

The world and Olympic champion asserted that the training will have a lasting impact on the coaches, which will in turn reflect on the athletes.
