Offered by the Brazilian Canoeing Confederation (CBCa), the course is an opportunity for them to train and enter the world of the sport.
– I am very happy to have this new partnership with the Brazilian Canoeing Confederation (CBCa), and to be able to expand the knowledge of our professionals, helping in the training of new teachers of the sport – says the municipal secretary of Sports, Guilherme Schleder.
The course aims to prepare professionals to work in sports initiation, in addition to covering topics such as water safety, teaching methodology, pedagogical process and qualification for the creation of new canoeing centers and schools. Of the 36 Physical Education professionals enrolled, 18 are from the Olympic Villages. This is the case of swimming teacher Danuza Siqueira, from the Vila Olímpica da Mangueira. She was one of the first to enroll and saw the course as an opportunity to further improve her skills.
– It’s a unique opportunity, since I work in the aquatic area, both in the pool and in the sea. The knowledge I gain will help me monitor my athletes. And who knows, after the course, I might have an opportunity to work in the sport – says the teacher.
Taekwondo teacher Rogaciano Filho, from Vila Olímpica do Mato Alto, is also excited about the training.
– One of my areas of expertise is outdoor sports. I believe that the experiences offered by the course will contribute to my professional qualification. I am grateful for the opportunity to qualify myself through this partnership between the Confederation and Smel – he praised.
