Support for ISSF Academy and its Coach Courses
The Issue
Having been a participant and graduate of the ISSF Academy's certification process from D to C to B, I have personally experienced the professionalism and transformative impact this program has on coaches worldwide. The skills and insights gained from ISSF courses are invaluable, providing coaches with the tools needed to elevate athletes' performances and strengthen the international shooting community. This is why I am eagerly looking forward to enrolling in the A course.
Recently, some news outlets have circulated articles accusing ISSF Academy of mismanagement and profiteering. These claims do not align with the experiences of many coaches, myself included, who have found immense value in the education and support provided by the Academy. The ISSF Academy courses have consistently maintained high standards, offering comprehensive training that is both accessible and beneficial to coaches across all levels.
To address these misconceptions and affirm our belief in the ISSF Academy's mission, we are launching this petition to demonstrate the widespread support among coaches for these vital programs. The ISSF Academy has been instrumental in fostering a community of well-trained and motivated coaches, committed to advancing the sport of shooting.
By signing this petition, you join a global network of coaches in expressing appreciation for the ISSF Academy’s efforts and the positive impact of their certification courses. Our goal is to reassure stakeholders and the public that the Academy is a reputable and essential institution and to ensure its programs continue to thrive despite unfounded criticism.
Together, let's show that the voices of coaches worldwide stand firmly behind the ISSF Academy. Sign this petition to support the continued excellence and integrity of ISSF Academy coach courses. Your signature can make a difference.
