No trainer is immune to the fact that the dynamics, complexity and variability of the training process often lead to the occurrence of major or minor errors. However, during the training process we observe the systematic occurrence of errors that occur due to established wrong practices, training myths and/or the trainer’s ignorance, and which can be easily removed. The lecture will give an overview of the most common mistakes that relate to all aspects of training: training techniques, tactics, fitness abilities, selection of work methods and psychological and pedagogical approach to athletes and parents. The lecture will also offer an overview of solutions that can be avoided errors and improve the effectiveness of the training itself.

The workshop was held by Rebeka PROSOLI, PhD., on the topic “Psychological preparation of judoka for competition – how to help the athlete to be focused on the task in the fight”.

The first block closed at 1:30 p.m. with the workshop “How to increase visibility on social networks and the Public Relations of the clubs” held by Mario KRVAVAC.
