| BNP Paribas presents 16th ITF Worldwide Coaches Conference |
The ITF Worldwide Coaches Conference by BNP Paribas commences in Valencia, Spain on Friday, 30 October. The conference, which is organised biennially, is being hosted by the Real Federación Española de Tenis (Spanish Tennis Federation) as part of their centenary celebrations and will take place at the Luis Puig Velodrome.
BNP Paribas’s involvement with the conference as presenting partner expands the relationship between the ITF and BNP Paribas. This is the first time the conference has had a presenting partner and heralds a new era for what is the ITF’s flagship event in the field of coaches’ education.
The theme of the five-day conference is ‘Developing Competencies for Elite Players and Coaches’ and the programme consists of lecture room and on-court presentations, as well as some shorter sessions, involving five presentations taking place simultaneously.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Spanish Davis Cup captain Albert Costa and former world No. 2 Alex Corretja. They are joined by Bruce Elliott, world-renowned biomechanist; Mark Kovacs, Senior Manager of Sport Science for the USTA; Yassine Yousfi of Olympic Solidarity; and Carl Maes, former coach of Kim Clijsters.
