German teaching assistance still desired abroad

Dr. Flavio BESSI (GER) teaching in Argentina

A little bit under the shade of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing took place a course for artistic gymnastics coaches in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Almost 50 Coaches participated at this course.
Course leader was Member of the Technical Committee and Chairman of the Board of Coach Education of the German Gymnastics Federation, Dr. Flavio Bessi who was invited by the local federation to his former birth city in order to do a course.

One of the local organizators, María Fernanda Rizzo, said: “All participants are so happy and content. It was the first course in years and we are very glad to have had such success.”
The Vice-president of the Gymnastics Federation of Buenos Aires, Selma Cáceres Escobar, thanked at the end of the course the German “guest”, who was developed as Gymnast in one of the most important clubs (GEBA: Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires) in this city.

Dr. Bessi, teaching in action ...!

She emphasized that Dr. Bessi will be always at home there and that the local federation will continue with this kind of courses which the German Argentinean scientist and coach will be certainly invited to.

This way the teaching activity of the German expert continues abroad: this year there were already courses in Norway, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Argentina.
In September will follow still two further courses of the Coach Academy of the FIG in El Salvador and Finland.
 ...we will report on.
