I wish we had this training when I was swimming. It really matters, what your coach says to you. And it stays with you for life.

Why?
As sports coaches and people working and volunteering in youth sport, we’re all really there for one reason, right? The kids.
If you want to…
• Teach children life skills and values.
• Understand and respond to misbehaviour with loving guidance.
• Use kindness and firmness at the same time.
• Identify potential problems and develop skills to prevent them.
• Put love and joy into relationships with your children or those you coach.
• Resolve responsibility and role issues.
• Build effective communication between all club members
then you’re in the right place.
What?
Develop yourself and your coaching team in these 6 core areas:
- Core coaching Competencies (ask not tell, be kind and firm, trust the process, what’s your style?)
- Conflict Resolution (effective recovery, spotting signs, finding solutions)
- Connecting with Children (empowering, encouraging, showing up, how you handle yourself)
- Communicate Effectively (wheel of choice, clear instructions, say what you mean)
- Collaborative Culture (team meetings, leadership styles, love and responsibility)
- Plus….Child Development (ages and stages of usual development, age appropriate communication)
