In 2018, we travelled to England to meet and persuade a young sociology graduate, with a master\u2019s degree in high-performance coaching and expertise in long-term athlete development, to work with us. We discussed our plans and our commitment to a scientific approach to our children\u2019s development. In 2019, we placed him in charge of the team and its development programme, which he played the leading role in shaping.<\/p><p>His work during the difficult years of <strong>2019\u20132022<\/strong> fully justified our choice and expectations. Above all, Michalis embodied exactly what we want to teach our children: good conduct, hard work, dedication and consistency, leading by example. His educational knowledge helped nurture a generation of young players whose mindset and way of thinking make us all proud. His contribution in this area leaves a lasting legacy.<\/p><p>His coaching methods also laid the foundations for a style of play we all love watching and enjoying. <strong>Read and react<\/strong>\u2014reading what the defence offers and responding instinctively\u2014develops players without a ceiling. Especially at development ages, it gives every player the chance to become as good as they can be. At those ages, every child matters. A child forgets a win or defeat after a few days. But a child who learns to read the game, without being confined early to a position or system, never loses that ability. Instead, they keep improving it. We are certain we will soon see outstanding players, and Michalis\u2019s impact on that is immense.<\/p><p>For personal reasons, Michalis had informed us professionally at the beginning of the year that he would need to return to his hometown. In recent days, at the youth teams\u2019 final training sessions, we witnessed more than an emotional farewell between children and their teacher: we saw proof of everything described above. We watched proudly as the children spoke not only about the feelings that parting brings, but also thanked him for their way of thinking, their mindset, their new perspective and how they intend to keep building on it. How wonderful!<\/p><p>Michalis, on behalf of every club official, parent and child at OKE BC, <strong>thank you for everything you have been and everything you have left as a legacy to our team and our city\u2019s children<\/strong>. We are certain your quality will shine wherever you work in the future.<\/p><p>We are very proud of our decision to work with you and will continue building on it.<\/p><p><strong>Until we meet again!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u03a0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03c6\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1, \u03b7 \u0395\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u039f\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd\u03b4\u03af\u03b1 \u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03b8\u03bf\u03c3\u03c6\u03b1\u03af\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2, \u03b1\u03c6\u03b9\u03ad\u03c1\u03c9\u03c3\u03b5 \u03bc\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bf\u03bb\u03cc\u03ba\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03b7 \u03ce\u03c1\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Web Radio \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ac\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf \u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03c4\u03c5\u03be\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03cc \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03bf\u03bc\u03ac\u03b4\u03b1\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2. \u0395\u03af\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03cd \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03ae\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9 \u03cc\u03c7\u03b9 \u03bc\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03bf\u03c7\u03ae \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03b2\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u03ac \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2, \u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03ad\u03c2, \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b2\u03bf\u03cd\u03bb\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03c3\u03bf\u03c6\u03af\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2, \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ad\u03c7\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03bf\u03b4\u03b7\u03b3\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c3\u2019 \u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1. \u0397 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,18],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3285","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-announcements","9":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/okebc.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
