What's the most frustrating thing about
#coach education?
I'll tell you - we don't coach
#coaches to coach.
List the top 10 issues in your
#coaching program right now - I bet they include:
1. Dealing with difficult parents;
2. Connecting and engaging with kids to inspire them to be more committed;
3. Arguments and disputes with committees / boards;
4. Accessing the right facilities and equipment;
5. Balancing life, family, your own health and coaching;
6. Money;
7. Politics with the local, regional, state, national body;
8. Promoting and growing your program;
9. Lack of clear vision and strategy of the club and program you work for;
10. Dealing with bureaucracy, licenses, insurance, safety regulations etc.
Now look at the above list and tell me which sport includes units, modules and learning activities for the real issues coaches face day to day?
You can't produce doctors by making them study plumbing! You can't produce pilots by making them study dentistry!
Coach coaches to coach!
