Evolução e Modernização no Judô

Judô: Desafios e Oportunidades no Desenvolvimento de Atletas

A Importância da Permanência no Judô

• A função do técnico vai além de fazer a criança ganhar; é crucial que ela permaneça na modalidade o máximo possível, pois isso diminui as chances de desistência ao longo do tempo.
