Albany Gazette Hanabi Judo Feature
For the last several years Hanabi has participated in the International Coaching Enrichment Certification Program (ICECP) which is offered in coordination with the International Olympic Committee. ICECP participants are coaches from smaller countries who come to the United States to learn how to better train their athletes. Hanabi is a practical training destination where these coaches can see how American sports organizations operate. We have hosted judo coaches from Belgium, New Zealand and Suriname in the past and this October we will be welcoming a coach from Tanzania.
USA Judo has partnered with “True Sport” and distributed their article on the benefits of learning through the challenges we face in sports such as judo. Kevin Chapman, PhD, clinical psychologist and founder of The Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders writes “Failure is an inevitable, healthy, and normal part of life—and a great way to ‘practice’ failure is through youth sport. Being able to embrace failure and grow from it are skills, and testing those skills in low-stakes situations can have big payoffs later in life.” For the complete article: https://truesport.org/perseverance/learn-to-fail-sports/
