COACH TRAINING

 

ONE DAY ~ 'COACHING FOR SELF-BELIEF'-AN INTRODUCTION
TO THE INNER GAME AND PERFORMER-CENTRED COACHING

This course gives coaches a clear understanding of the underlying principles of the Inner Game: focused attention, trust, choice and non-judgemental awareness. These fundamentals enable students to learn more naturally and efficiently. The process recognises their individuality and encourages greater involvement and therefore motivation. Most importantly, this style of coaching is a catalyst for inspiring self-belief.

This one-day enables coaches to experience the Inner Game as a player and as a coach:

* Begin to build your own set of awareness raising drills for technical, tactical, physical and mental skill development.

* Test drive Inner Game techniques to improve focus and motivation.

* Improve your ability to use performer-centred coaching skills.

 

ONE DAY ~ SKILL BUILDING

For those who have attended an introductory course and want to deepen their knowledge and, most especially, their ability to apply Inner Game coaching skills more effectively.

The tutors will work with the participants on their chosen areas of interest within the skill-set, finding an appropriate balance of theory and practice with the group.

We aim for coaches to finish the day with more ability to link the key Inner Game principles to the intricacies of goal setting, asking effective questions, listening, summarising and giving feedback. We also anticipate exploring the balance of instruction and performer-centred skills in more detail.

We will address the issues commonly faced in all group situations – children, adults, beginners and advanced squads.
