“We have never seen anything like this, the coaches have been struggling despite putting in a lot of work and sacrificing a lot of time, the financial support we are receiving from NOCK is very empowering, it means Coaches can now focus on good results
“We promise to get good results at the Olympic Games because it is a very huge event and I feel like I have a lot to do. I have to sacrifice a lot of time, energy, techniques, and skills and there is a lot to do. As coaches, we are ready to prepare the athletes with that support from NOC-K and Athletics Kenya,” Bundotich said.
Speaking at the same time, NOCK secretary general Francis Mutuku said the support be not only on the coaches but also on athletes and also be used for talent development in the country.
“Our athletes are as good and as happy as the coaches handling them, they are the closest people to the athletes, and they are often the unsung heroes. We identified a gap where focus goes to the athletes while coaches only get recognized after the national team has been named,” Mutuku said.
AK Vice President Paul Mutwii, AK Treasurer David Miano, Chief Administrative Officer Susan Kamau, and technical personnel as well as NOCK deputy treasurer and Olympics Performance Lead, John Ogolla were also in attendance at the meeting.
