FILIPINO bowler Paeng Nepomuceno, a four-time World
Cup champion, and 20 other prominent bowlers have gathered in
Milwaukee for the international coach/instructor training seminar at
the USBC (US Bowling Congress) headquarters.
“It’s a vital part of
USBC’s effort to help create an international coaching program,”
said Nepomuceno of the conference, which ends Saturday (Sunday in
Manila). “I’m happy to be considered as one of the participants
because I’d be able to learn more information about the sport
which has given me countless honors.”
Other attendees include
Colombia’s Andre Gomez, Andrew Frawley (Australia), Cassidy Schaub
(US), Christer Backe (Sweden), Daniel Falconi (Mexico), Erik Garder
(Norway), Ernesto Avila (Mexico), Foong Tak Meng (Malaysia),
Holloway Cheah (Malaysia), Jason Belmonte (Australia), Juliano
Olivera (Brazil), Kazuhide Shimoji (Japan), Kim Eui Young (Korea),
Magnis Johnsson (Sweden), Marcio Viera (Brazil), Pedro Merani
(Argentina), Sandy Lowe (Canada), Steve Innins (England), Thomas
Tybi (Australia) and William Woo (Singapore).
“The vision of this project is
for more coaches and athletes to get the vital bowling information
that they need, delivered from reputable international coaches,”
said USBC chief operating officer Kevin Domberger. “Developing
elite athletes throughout the world is crucial to the sport’s
future.”
Nepomuceno said it is a great
honor for him to participate in the camp. “I will do my best to
further improve the enthusiasm in bowling back home. This sport has
been good to many of us Filipinos, and we have won many honors in
international competitions like Southeast Asian Games and the Asian
Games.”
