Competition – Introduction Part A & B
Coaches in the Competition stream usually have previous coaching experience or are former athletes in the sport. They tend to work with athletes over the long term to improve performance, often in preparation for provincial, and higher level competitions. The Competition stream has three coaching contexts: Introduction, Development, and High performance. The courses we are offering are the Introduction to Competition Part A & B for those getting started in coaching that haven’t taken any coach education yet. Modules in Part A include Making Ethical Decisions, Planning a practice, Nutrition. Modules in Part B include Designing a Basic Sport Program, Teaching and Learning and Basic Mental Skills. Part A and Part B are not concurrent, either can be taken with no previous coach training.
