THE executive committee of the Guyana Olympic Association has continued the sponsorship of Mr Willon Cameron, the Physical Education Teacher at President’s College, who is pursuing a Sports Coaching degree at the University of the West Indies Open Campus.

During the last semester, Mr Cameron completed four courses: SPKN 2102 Exercise Physiology 1, SPKN 2104 Motor Control & Motor Learning, SPKN 2107 Sport & Exercise Biomechanics, and SPKN 2108 Pharmacology & Doping in Sport.

Mr Cameron shared his experiences with the executives during a recent meeting on Wednesday, 17th May, 2023.

He shared that in Exercise Physiology the class spent a lot of time understanding how to assess fitness and how the body responds to exercise, in Motor Control and Motor Learning and they were able to understand the processes involved in learning and developing skill. Sport and Exercise Biomechanics was about understanding movement and forces associated with the body and sport and in Pharmacology and Doping in Sport they studied the WADA standards and discussed the mechanism of actions for various banned substances.

The executive committee congratulated Mr Cameron on his GPA after having completed year one, which was 3.92, and on his making the honours roll in both semesters.

In the upcoming summer semester, he plans to undertake three courses, SPCH 2001 Sport Coaching and Learning, SPCH 2010 Coaching Practicum 2, and SPCH 3010 Coaching Practicum 3.
At the handing-over ceremony at Olympic House, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown, the executive committee wished Mr Cameron continued success in his studies.
