The FIM Africa Train the Trainer programme recently took place in Kitwe, Zambia, with three days focused on rider development, coaching education and practical training.

Facilitated by FIM Africa and the FIM Africa Women in Motorcycling Commission, the programme was hosted by Copperbelt Dirt Bike Riders from 28 to 30 April under the guidance of Andre Dearden.

Throughout the programme, participants explored a variety of important topics including nutrition, hydration, WADA education, braking techniques, body positioning, balance and training schedules. The sessions were designed to provide parents, trainers and rider supporters with practical knowledge to assist riders both on and off the motorcycle.

The learning continues this weekend as participants move into practical trackside sessions and hands on rider coaching, further building on the knowledge gained during the classroom component of the programme.
