The football coaching clinic held in Swakopmund by the Real Madrid Foundation (RMF) ends today.This is the second year that Bank Windhoek and The Dome in Swakopmund have partnered to host the clinic in conjunction with Real Madrid's social arm, the Real Madrid Foundation (RMF). Approximately 200 children between the ages of nine and 15 are participating in the clinic with the aim of improving their football skills. As a responsible financial partner to various sporting codes in the country, Bank Windhoek saw it fit to partner with The Dome in hosting this soccer clinic. In addition, the bank made use of this opportunity to teach young football players the importance of proper financial planning. “We believe that cultivating young minds early creates a foundation that will enable sound financial decision-making not only now but for the future as well,” said Sanet de Waal, Bank Windhoek's head of corporate social investment. “The focus of the clinic is not purely on the sporting and social skills of aspiring athletes but we have included a financial educational programme for all participating players at the end of each day. We might not turn each athlete into a professional football player, but we will do our best to provide the youth with the necessary skills to succeed in life,” said Dave Hammond, marketing manager of The Dome. The clinic will have a series of games between the Real Madrid 'All Star' squads and invitational teams. The 'All Stars' in each age division are hand-picked by the RMF coaching aces.The two top coaches from the Real Madrid Foundation that are training the young soccer players and their coaches are Carlos Gustavo Albert Garcia and Héctor Vicente.The Real Madrid Foundation's main objective with these clinics is to promote the values inherent in sport and the tools which can be used to contribute to the overall development of the athlete.LIMBA MUPETAMI The foo
