Coach Education – Isaac Nuñez – PER

Coach with extensive experience in Peru, talent collector in badminton and Para badminton, and one of those responsible for the dissemination of badminton in his country, Isaac Nuñez was also in the Pilot Course for Coaches Level 3 and, as a person and coach, has big dreams linked to our sport.

Last November, BWF conducted in our region a Coach Level 3 Pilot Course where coaches were challenged to analyze their current way of working and apply new concepts in their training. Isaac Nuñez was attentive and participatory in the course, seeking to make the most of this experience.

“The course has been very cognitive, of thinking, questions and answers, making decisions, helping athletes to make decisions. Something necessary to complement our training as coaches. And it challenges me to implement new learning models. Question myself to improve. That is more important now for me. I leave this course with more questions than answers and eager to implement what I have learned. ”

The sport evolves over time, and with it the way of seeing badminton has changed. Coaches need to stay ahead and strengthen their knowledge constantly.

“The training is life or death, it is the most important thing in a professional because you can be at the forefront and know experiences and stories that can enrich your perspective as a coach.”

Since Isaac started in our sport, he got completely involved in it, always trying to know more in order to contribute to the development of badminton.

“My training was a very fun and passionate process. I am one of the people who is very involved in what I do. I consider myself good in what I do and with the tools the course has given me now I can improve more.”

Isaac has been able to meet some of his goals as a coach, based on effort and hard work. Leading the national team of his country in Continental Championships and continuing to teach courses so that more teachers know our sport say a lot about him and the quality of person he is.

“I always wanted to be a coach of the national team, since I started in badminton, and I always wanted to contribute to the development of badminton in the country. I was passionate to see a colosseum filled with people playing and public screaming. That more people know the badminton, that the tournaments have more public. That there is more quality implies more work on our part and a more leading role.”

Dreams help form paths to follow and establish small goals that lead us to fulfill them. Isaac has a big dream and is willing to do everything possible to achieve it.

“At some point, looking to the future, I would like to and I am willing to pay the price to reach an Olympic Games. That is my dream as a coach but with someone who has a little more chance of changing the history of badminton in our country. ”
