Developing coaches is about providing all coaches, from volunteer to elite, with opportunities to gain structured qualifications and experience.
As with any job both qualifications and experience are valued in a coach. We also advocate mentoring as an effective way to bridge the gap between getting those qualifications and turning them into experience.
Coaches are people who motivate, encourage and inspire. Without them most performers would fail to reach their full potential. Equally, coaches themselves deserve to reach their full potential and this can be done by structured and recognised professional development. With any project or development it is recommended to PLAN - DO - REVIEW. The benefits of this are that the coach can get the most out of the development they undertake through effective planning. Review enables progression from one course, experience or development to the next. sports coach UK website
