The workshop was utilised to go through;
- Common Injuries & Causes
- Injury Treatment
- Injury Prevention
- Useful Equipment
- Help & Support
Craig Barkway stated that “It was a very enjoyable presentation to deliver. Most of the coaches in attendance were already FA Emergency Aid qualified but it was extremely useful to go through information on how to prevent injuries in the first place and also how to treat certain injuries. There are a lot of theories with regards to injury treatment and prevention and it was good to give the coaches more ideas to take away with them”.
The workshop attracted thirty Kent County FA Coaches Association members.
