Some footage from the CFAK Games recently, shot and edited by Joe McPhee.
The interns in our Coach Development Program have been working hard to get to know everyone, and on their knowledge of movement and coaching cues.
They also have a few homework assignments to work through, one of which is profiling CFNZ athletes for the website. So this is just a heads up, if one of them gets in touch with you, the community loves to learn more about it's members, we'd be honoured if you would contribute.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander though right? So let's start off with an intern profile.
