47FA Instructor Training 2014 (2nd term) was held in J-GREEN Sakai/Osaka (3 to 5 October) and Tokinosumika/Shizuoka (10-12 October) with about 100 participants attended. This training is conducted to provide coaches with the latest information accurately and held twice a year – first term and 2nd term in two different places.

47FA Chief Instructor serves as lecturer of Class C and Class D coach’s training lecture and he is key person in putting together instructors in prefectures, serving also “Refreshing training for Official Class D coach”. At both venues, we had an external guest from Spain on the first day for running practical training and lecture. The different approach was made to give different view and chance to brush up the contents of Japan’s coaching training and refreshing training.

On second day and later, we had a group training holding practical coaching lesson covering all the things required in training – giving advice to participants, view, organization and facilitation.

Participants Comments

UENO Toshio, Chief Instructor at Shimane Football Association
It has been long time since I became instructor but this training gives me new clues every time. Some of them are hard for me but these ideas will help improving my skills.

TAMAKOSHI Koji, Chief Instructor at Kanagawa Football Association
With clear understanding of theme of the training, I realized what I need to take challenge and what I should include in the lecture and training and how difficult to express in the pitch and communicate to the participants.
I learned a lot in practical training because the instructor’s advice was easy to understand, adequate and simple-to-understand contents. I am going to tailor them to the training I organize in the future.
