ISA Coach Trainer Brazilian Marcos Conde went to Jamaica once again in February for a follow up on the Level 1 coaches course which he conducted last year.

Four Level 2 coaches were accredited after the one week course which focused on "Elite Surfer" coaching. The trainee coaches worked with members of the National Junior and Open teams.

Physical, Psychological, Technical and Tactical training drills were designed and conducted based on identified weaknesses in the individual team members.

The Jamaica Surfing association is looking forward to see this training reflected on the Junior performance in the World Junior Surfing Championships in Portugal this May.

Jamaica placed 22nd on the last WJSC at Brazil, 19th at the 2005 WJSC at California and 23rd at the 2004 WJSC at Tahiti.
