How to Develop Intelligent Players

This session is a continuation from Part 1 of the Ekkono method sharing session on 24 September 2025
The Ekkono coaching methodology focuses on creating intelligent and adaptable players by asking players questions and challenging them to find solutions in realistic game situations. How can coaches create environments that help players to develop these qualities? In this workshop, coaches will have an opportunity to participate in an Ekkono practical session focusing on development of ‘perception’ in game-like situations.
