Beginner ‘How to of Coaching’ – Course for teachers and for Parent Coaches
Beginner ‘How to of Coaching’ – Course for teachers and for Parent Coaches
Next week Sport Southland is delighted to have the services of Mark Borthwick, Coaching Director from Cricket Wellington to facilitate a Beginner ‘How to of Coaching’ course for Parent Coaches. This course is designed for parents (or other family members) who have been roped in to coaching or have limited coaching experience. It is generic in nature (rather than sport specific), and focuses on the ‘How’ rather than that ‘What’ to coach, but does utilise the occasional sport specific drill to demonstrate concepts, but the focus is on the concepts and not the drills.
Areas covered in the course:
- Session and Season Planning
- Managing Parents
- How do kids learn best
- How do I manage team behaviour
- How do I find coaching ideas
- Dealing with winning, losing and cheating
- Having a Coaching Philosophy
Date and Time: Wednesday 17th April 2013, 7 – 8.45pm.
Venue: Southland Boys High School. Classroom next to Gym and gym will be used.
Cost: No cost
Facilitator: Mark is the current Coaching Director from Cricket Wellington and brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience as a cricket coach (former coach of Wellington Blaze women’s team) and as a former Assistant HOD Physical Education at Wellington College and his passion for coaching and humour ensures you will learn and have the occasional laugh during the session.
Registration: To register, please email andrew.petrie@sportsouthland.co.nz . Please note that this course is limited to 30 places, so get your registration in as soon as possible.
Attire: Please ensure you have appropriate clothing and footwear for light activities, used to demonstrate concepts.
Each participant will receive a coaching resource to take away at the end of the session.
