3rd Cohort of Foundational Sport Science Course Begins
at the National Coaching Academy

The third cohort of the Foundational Sport Science Course began today at the National Coaching Academy under the Bhutan Olympic Committee, bringing together 20 participants from various federations and agencies to deepen their knowledge in modern sports science. The course runs from 5th January to 7th February 2026, and is conducted through the National Coaching Academy, organized by the Bhutan Olympic Committee and supported by Olympic Solidarity. This program is part of a strategic vision led by HRH Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck, Hon’ble President of the Bhutan Olympic Committee, to strengthen and modernize the coaching system in Bhutan.

As sport continues to evolve, training and development increasingly rely on evidence-based approaches including athlete monitoring, recovery, nutrition, injury prevention, and long-term athlete development. Through this course, participants gain practical knowledge and tools they can apply in their respective roles, while staying grounded in Bhutan’s values and local context.

The broader goal is to build a stronger, more capable sports workforce that can help nurture athletes ready to compete proudly at regional and international levels.

We would also like to convey our sincere gratitude to Olympic Solidarity for their continued and unwavering support. Their financial assistance and long-standing partnership have played a key role in strengthening coach education and capacity building in Bhutan.
