The 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress will be held from June 30 to July 3, EuroLeague Head Coaches Board (EHCB) announced Monday.
Per the press release: “The EuroLeague Head Coaches Board (EHCB) today announced the 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress which will take place on Thursday 30th of June 2022 through to Sunday 3rd of July 2022 in the Gloria Sports Arena, Belek- Antalya/Turkey.
After the 2019 EuroLeague Coaches Clinic in Badalona, where participants from 38 countries joined some of Europe´s most prestigious coaches for a 3-and-a-half-day clinic, the EHCB has opted for a longer and more in-depth edition in 2022. This year, EHCB wants to attract more aspiring coaches to enjoy a four-day long congress that will include a range of activities including a welcome reception, panel discussions, and on-court master classes. This congress will also include the EuroLeague Head Coaches Board’s annual assembly, where all EHCB members will be in attendance.
“At the EuroLeague Head Coaches Board, our main purpose and our primary goal is to educate future coaches and transmit values and knowledge of EuroLeague coaches to them. The transfer of knowledge is a two-way street, not a one-way street. Not only do we as the EuroLeague coaches transmit knowledge but we also like to engage in conversations with coaches from around the globe and from different categories,” said Goran Sasic EHCB Executive Director.
The EHCB and TUBAD, the Turkish Coaches Basketball Association have joined forces to offer unique learning and networking opportunity for coaches in Turkey by having Turkish coaches participating in the EHCB Coaches Academy that is a program organized between the EHCB and the University of Belgrade.
“On behalf of TUBAD and the Board of Directors and all members of our association, I would like to state how excited we are to be a part of the organization of this event and are ready to make sure that the event will be a world-class affair”, said Necati Guler of TUBAD. “We would like to invite all Turkish basketball coaches to participate in this congress as well as extend it to the wider basketball community. We all want to be able to enjoy this event and make the sport of basketball grow”.
The 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress will kick off on the 30th of June with a series of panel discussions on different topics such as Motivation and competition psychology + leadership and group dynamics. On the same evening, we will have a welcome reception. From the 1st of July until the 3rd of July, we will have on-court masterclasses where 6 of our members will discuss an offensive and a defensive topic.
“Being responsible for the organization of such a large event is a privilege for me. It has been exciting to be a part of the vision that the EHCB has for the future of coaches in the world. For me as somebody who is a member of the EHCB and TUBAD it’s an honor to be the patron of the 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress”, said Ahmed Caki, member of the EHCB and patron of the 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress.
“In 2019 we had a wonderful learning experience for everyone in Badalona and I am especially happy that our coaches from Turkey will meet coaches from around the globe. This year we will make the event bigger with more networking opportunities and socializing possibilities. Our participants and their families are more than welcomed to experience Turkish hospitality.” added Ergin Ataman member of the EHCB.
“We have started two years ago the EHCB Coaches Academy during the pandemic since we couldn’t hold the EHCB Coaches Congress and we currently have over 200 coaches from more than 50 countries. All those Will be coming to Antalya to take part in the 2022 EHCB Coaches Congress. Let me now announce the coaches who will give an on-court master class at the 2022 EuroLeague Coaches Congress, being Zeljko Obradovic, Pablo Laso, Dimitris Itoudis, Ioannis Sfairopoulos Ergin Ataman, and Selcuk Erkak.” added Selcuk Ernak member of the EHCB.
“The organization opted to organize this event in Turkey because not only does it have a strong basketball culture but it also has a unique and welcoming hospitality culture. It is for this reason that the EHCB would like to thank the strategic partner in this event; Gloria Hotels & Resorts for being the perfect partner to make this event a special and welcoming week for all EHCB members, participants, and their families.
