The Executive Committee of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) as part of its strategic plan of ensuring that the Association maximizes and optimises the opportunities for accessing available Olympic Solidarity grants, with the key aim of supporting the development of coaching expertise and capacities within the sport ecosystem in Guyana selected Mr. Joel Alleyne to participate in the Sports Conditioning Program as part of the 2024 International Coaching Course (ICC) Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) in Budapest, Hungary. So said the GOA in a statement.
This intensive programme, which commenced on September 29 and concludes on November 29, 2024, is supported by Olympic Solidarity.
The GOA nominated Alleyne for the Sports Conditioning Programme to serve as a key resource for local athletes and coaches across various sports disciplines in Guyana. With a background in table tennis, Joel has since expanded his focus to fitness, strength, and endurance training, working with athletes to improve their performance using modern scientific and applied methods.
His participation in this programme will further enhance his expertise, allowing him to contribute to the development of athletes’ fitness strength and conditioning levels and the introduction of advanced training methodologies in Guyana. Through this initiative, the GOA seeks to strengthen Guyana’s capacity to support our athletes in their journey to compete at higher levels of international competition.
President of the Guyana Olympic Association, Mr. Godfrey Munroe indicated, “We are excited to see Joel Alleyne represent Guyana at this world-class coaching course. His involvement in the Sports Conditioning Programme at HUSS will provide invaluable knowledge and techniques that can be applied to a wide range of sports disciplines in Guyana. His growth as a conditioning expert will also play a pivotal role in the fitness and performance of our athletes.”
The Executive Committee of the GOA said it is grateful for the continued support of Olympic Solidarity and the Hungarian University of Sports Science and looks forward to leveraging Mr. Alleyne’s participation in the course to boost the level of coaching and athlete preparation in Guyana.
Joel recently commenced his studies in Hungary and has been progressing well based on reports.
