Information for coaches
Coaching is the lifeblood of sport. Whether you’re a parent looking for your child’s first club or a seasoned elite athlete, the coach will be central to the level of success and enjoyment.
It doesn’t matter whether you're working with beginners, occasional performers or top athletes – coaches must be able to demonstrate a commitment to safe, professional and cutting edge coaching practice.
High quality coaching is evident when:
- Participants respect their coach and respect others
- Participants are enthusiastic about attending and having fun
- Participants can map their progress and are motivated to succeed
- Participants understand the what, how and why of their sport
A high quality coach:
- Actively reviews their practice
- Pursues training and development opportunities
- Adopts an athlete-centred approach
- Views player development as a long-term process
