Overview of work done in Hungary (1997-2004)

Since 1. of January 1997 manager of Kayak-Canoe sport division of UTE.

UTE is the oldest sport club founded in 1886. It has dealt with sportsmen of Northwest Territory of Budapest. UTE was a determining Club by its results of Hungarian national sport since decades. 16 sport divisions belong to UTE. One division manager manages all the 16 sport divisions separately.

The task of a division manager is:
- Choosing appropriate experts coaches and sportsmen
- Planning of professional task of experts and coaches
- Directing of experts and coaches
- Planning of education system of young sportsmen
- Preparation of sportsmen for competitions
- Organization of travels, training camps, competitions
- Ensure smooth budgeting e.g. financial control
- Search for potential sponsors

My extra tasks were in co-operation with coaches
Restructure of UTE kayak division on the base of my 20 years sport career. The viewpoints of the restructure were:
- Find appropriate coaches
- Recruitment (co educated)
- Woman section
- Man section
- Canoe section
- Make the kayak sport known in schools and institutions outskirts of Budapest
- Assessment of the most appropriate sport section for the 2000 Olympic Games
- Plan and carry out a 4 year period plan with all the division’s coaches
- Plan and direct the work of the man section, hand over experiences of mine
- Establish training camps and competitions
- Purchasing of sport equipment
- Development of sport establishment
- Find potential sponsor for the elite sportsman
- Represent the club to HCF


Description of my tasks in co-operation with coaches for the 3 sport sections


Woman section
- Increasing the number junior competitors (17-18 years old)
- On survey basis choosing of appropriate elite competitors
- Build appropriate teams for competitions e.g. European or World Championships and Olympic Games

Man section
- Total resuscitation of man section after 1996 Olympic Games
- Survey and selection of sportsmen for national and international competitions
- Coaching of young talented elite competitors
- Pass over experiences to young talented elite competitors

Canoe section
- Select an excellent and experienced coach
- Make the canoe sport section well known and popular and successful
- Reach national and international elite competition results

From 1998 on I work as a coach with a junior group (20 junior trainees) and after the hard start (technical problems, weak physical condition, tactical problems) the extremely hard training session brought the result. The staying power and the move coordination has got on a good level and with this knowledge now they are able to use their knowledge at the time of competition.

This has showed up in results too:
In 2001 three and in 2002 five junior Hungarian titles and more valuable place were won by the junior team. In 2002 we gave an athlete to the Hungarian Senior Team. The K4 500m at the European Championship in Szeged was placed 2. And at the World Championship in Seville was placed 2. with his team.

There are more juniors with such a similar good abilities in the group like so we can forecast that more of them will succeed to the Hungarian National Team.

In addition to that, in 2002 spring at the Seville training camp I helped in the coaching of the Hungarian National Team.
