Introduction to Coaching

Planning and implementing athlete centred coaching

Although focusing on athletics elements, the extremely comprehensiveIntroduction to Coaching manual can be applied to any individual sport.

It will give you the following:

• an understanding of the cyclical nature of the process of coaching, the repeated passage from planning to doing, to reviewing and on again to planning coaching
• recognition of the 5 basic skills of coaching and then the application and practice of these skills within your coaching
• basic knowledge, practical understanding and application of the sport sciences
• focus to 'see' the athlete and make your coaching athlete-centred and appropriately coach-led.
