South African Athletics Coach of the Year and newly-crowned Central Gauteng Athletics Coach of the Year Werner Prinsloo has reflected on a successful year alongside his star athlete Akani Simbine.
For 13 years now, Akani Simbine and his dedicated coach, Werner Prinsloo, have pursued a major international medal to no avail.
Werner Prinsloo, the Coach of the Year recognized by Athletics South Africa (ASA), expresses concerns about the nation’s heavy reliance on sprinters to secure medals in prominent international competitions.
Following the regrettable disqualification of star athlete Akani Simbine at the recently concluded World Senior Championships in Budapest, Hungary, his coach, Werner Prinsloo has finally spoken out.
South African track and field coach of the year Werner Prinsloo says SA 100m champion Akani Simbine could end his long wait for a medal at the World Championships in Budapest later this year.
