Be ready to walk through sprint and hurdle progressions, common faults, and how you coach youth safely. Expect questions on session structure, load management, and working under a head coach at a school academy. Bring concrete examples of athlete development, communication with parents/teachers, and competition-day roles.
Strong fit if you already coach or compete in sprints/hurdles, can work on-site in Pretoria, and enjoy school-age academy environments. Less ideal if you need remote work or pure senior/elite-only coaching without educational-sport context.
