A University of Derby Buxton Strength and Conditioning Lecturer is preparing a world class Judo player for this year's international competitions after a number of successful bouts at the recent Judo European Championships.
Lecturer Minas Mina has been working with Cypriot Judo player Andreas Krassas for 18 months, during which he secured three wins at the European Championship in the Czech Republic including a fantastic victory over British Champion Lewis Keeble.
Minas, alongside USA National Coach, Jimmy Pedro, is planning a training programme for Andreas for upcoming international competitions - providing scientific support through strength and conditioning and nutrition programs. The team are eager for more success in the future, with the overall aim of working towards the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Minas Mina lectures on Joint Honours Sports Coaching and Development degrees at the University of Derby Buxton.
