On day 1 we’ll spend our time going between the classroom and the water outside the centre. We’ll talk through current coaching practices, then head down to the water to put them into practice. The day ends with a session planning exercise to apply content covered into a session on day 2. Day 2 will be spent predominantly on the water where you’ll run a coaching session. We’ll dive into coaches’ decision making and how we create an optimum learning environment for our learners. At the end of the day, we’ll give you a clear plan to help you progress towards the coach award in your chosen craft.
