ISC 2012 Basketball Coach Training: Post One

The International Sport Connection began their third training in Uganda on May 3th. Eight American sport scientists and basketball coach experts took the 30 hour journey across the world to come together around a ball in Uganda, Africa.

Thanks to the generous funding from SportsUnited, a division of the U.S. Department of State, the eight Americans brought over 22 suitcases full of enough equipment to prepare over 200 coaches and 400 children.

The group from America included three coaches from the East Coast, Paul Nixon, Nettie Respondex, and Maeola Bolten. There were two instructors from the West Coast, Marshall Jamieson and Megan Christensen. And three sport scientists from the Midwest and South, Dr. Jens Omli, Lisa Berg, and Natalie Trotter.

All of the ISC staff met in the Amsterdam airport and finished their journey into the Entebbe airport by May 4th. They awoke at the hotel in the capital city of Kampala and began their journey north to Lira, Northern Uganda where the ISC Basketball Coach Training will take place over the next 10 days!
