“I have been a coach for 18 years & attended many courses, but none like this on how to develop myself as a role model for the juniors I teach. I thoroughly recommend this training.“

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…

• Stop shouting and start solving
• Use kindness AND firmness at the same time
• Learn real, effective tools for group management
• Build a safe, trusting environment for all your athletes
• Resolve responsibility and role issues
• Figure out what’s really going on with behaviour
• Respond effectively without escalation

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)
