Communication From Judo NZ/NZJF/Dave Browne

Dear Kong,

Please publish this on the University website -- we all know it's the only Judo blog in New Zealand that is regularly updated and is actually read by the community (even those of us that offered such animated protests about all the tits on the "real" AJA page).

As you are all aware significant changes been made in recent times within Judo New Zealand including a new Board, the adoption of a new constitution, the appointments of the National Technical and Business Directors, and a move to have more of our processes online.

We are now looking at the appropriateness of the various Commission structures.

One of the most significant changes that could be contemplated is the separation of the Coaching Commission into two distinct parts.

One part will be responsible for Coaching Development ( e.g. Coaching the Coaches).

The other part will be responsible for connecting with our high performance athletes and delivering on our primary goal of winning medals at the Commonwealth games in Glasgow in 2014.

It is important we get this latter part right and we wish to consult within the New Zealand judo coaching community before reaching a decision on how we move forward.

As a person with an interest in the coaching side of judo above national level we are looking for your input, ideas and thoughts on what you think would be the best processes and/or structure for JNZ to adopt in its interaction with our athletes, their coaches and their clubs to achieve our 2014 goal.

Please bear in mind that the any role or roles developed will voluntary although we are earmarking funds for programme delivery.

Please send any thoughts you have on the subject to me in the first instance by 31 March.


Kind regards
Dave Browne [dave@propertypeople.co.nz]
President – Judo New Zealand
