Sports Skills and Africa Organisation, a non-governmental organisation has organised a one-day seminar to rescue cardiac arrest victims in the sports arena.
The training came on the backdrop of an incident involving Denmark and Inter Milan forward, Christian Eriksen who had a cardiac arrest while duty for his country at the Euro 2020 against Finland.
The group made up of professionals in various fields of human endeavours had the privilege of impacting fresh ideas to 59 sports coaches who thronged the Media Centre of the Teslim Balogun stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
During the ‘operation train the trainers’ project, the group emphasised more on the need to curb the trend of sudden death through cardiac arrest which almost killed Eriksen who slumped during the EURO 2020 event.
The group provided participants with educational materials that could enhance player’s health and safety.
