Sports preparations were the main topic of discussion at today’s Talking about Sports event, which featured Leonardo Komšić, founder and head coach of the Poreč-based King Kickboxing Club, Martin Čotar, multiple cycling champion, Đurđica Orepić, Croatian Ironwoman, and Mirjana Kmačić Pellizzer, marathon runner. The speakers agreed that athletes needed to listen to their own bodies. They also concluded that, when it came to children, it was very important to be careful about choosing who coached them.
“Even adults should train with a coach, at least in the beginning; however, we should be careful about picking one, as nowadays there are loads of so-called coaches. This is particularly important with children, as the wrong coaches can ruin their physical abilities and that is something that can be difficult to make up for later,” concluded Komšić.
