“The officials are eager to learn and they are doing a fantastic job, I know you can’t see it but I can tell you that they’ve poured their heart out to being coaches.”
“I can tell you that better coaches bring better athletes and then Nigeria will have stamps on the map that will produce Olympic and World champions.”
“I think this is the beginning of something great for Nigeria.”
The American facilitator heap praises on the hospitality of the Nigerian people especially with the supply of some local delicacies
“The environment is good, although a little hot for my taste but I will get better,” said Zac Dominguez.”
“But I must say I didn’t know that Nigerians like spicy food, I love it because I’m a bit of a spicy food guy and the people here have been unbelievably nice, they’ve taken care of everything we need.”
Meanwhile, the president Nigeria Wrestling Federation Champion Daniel Igali who took an inspection earlier commended the level of work put in by the internationally approved facilitators.
The world and Olympic champion asserted that the training will have a lasting impact on the coaches which will in turn reflect on the athletes.
