As we all know, there are events that we struggle to get coaches involved in, let alone athletes, due to the technical nature or perceptions of the event!
Here in the North West we are looking to give coaches of any level and background the opportunity to work with experienced coaches on practical coaching techniques and theory. Whether you are just starting out in this event or whether you can just see the benfit of sharing knowledge with a network of like minded coaches, these event specific initiatives could help you get quickly off the ground and coaching the event at your club or improving existing training techniqes for the benefit of your athletes.
Please see below for details of forthcoming events in the North West.
