The RSL BEC Summer School is not only for the players but also for the coaches, who are getting new know-how on how to practice.

26 coaches from 18 countries are right now part of the RSL BEC Summer School. Anton Ivanov from Russia is one of the coaches who are in Slovenia.

- The conditions here are really good. We have a lot of practice, and that is important to me. This helps me to rethink parts of my training, and I also get new skills, so I can be more challenging in my training back home, Ivanov says.

- I am learning to communicate better, and I also learn a lot of watching other coaches.
