Coach Development...
Martens (2004) claims that coaching young people to become successful athletes—and successful human beings is difficult unless you already have the teaching skills of an educator, the training expertise of a physiologist, the administrative leadership of a business executive, and the counselling wisdom of a psychologist .
Considering the above, coaches need to continually develop, learn, mature and grow so that they are at the cutting edge of their profession. Team Plymouth wants to offer coaches the support that they require so that they can fulfil these requirements. We hope that this professional coaching development will assist athletes in their quest for elite athletic performance.
Team Plymouth are prepared to tailor the support given to coaches, to ensure that it suits a coaches’ sport, style, method, athlete and approach. Thus, depending on the type of applicant, coaches may be offered financial support, mentors, academic assistance, sports science information, injury prevention details etc.
Who Should Apply...
- Are you a committed and ambitious coach currently practicing in Plymouth?
- Are you dedicated to your own professional coaching development?
- Are you passionate about coaching all athletes?
- Do you require support so that you can fully develop your coaching skills?
- Do you have the desire to make it as a top level coach?
How to Apply...
