Great Britain Coaches' Sparring Seminar
/This coming weekend from Friday 1/5/18 to Sunday 1/7/18 is a sparring seminar lead by 2 former coaches of Great Britain: Paul Green and Gareth Brown. I've yet to be informed exactly why they are no longer the head coaches for Great Britain but they are now the head coaches for the United States. Personally, I think they are great new assets for the US Team. For a long time, results from our athletes compared to the other countries around the world have been mediocre. I think we are always, in some way, 1 step behind the rest of the world. It certainly shows through their results and our lack thereof. Going into this, I hope to learn much from their experience and add some of their wealth of knowledge to my own repertoire to share with my own students. It is a big change for USA Taekwondo but perhaps that is what it has needed all along to push it forward.
