13 Aug SSC USES WEBINAR IN EDUCATION FOR ATHLETES AND COACHES
Kuching(August 12): Webinars could become an “ongoing tool” as part of the education for Sarawak athletes under the development programmes.

“At the SSC, our mission is to empower Sarawak athletes to achieve sustained competitive excellence and well-being.
“This webinar has stimulated engagement among the audience, who were able to pose questions to the guest speakers, contributing to debate on tips how we can educate and support the athletes well-being,” he said at the opening of the “Tele-Health Education Talk Series For Sarawak Development Athletes” recently.
The text of Ong’s speech was read by SSC sports development division manager Ahmad Rodzli Hashim. The webiner was attended by 361 athletes, coaches, parents and sports development officers. It is divided into three series and will be held on a monthly basis as part of athletes’ continuous education series.
