Get involved in our new Women’s Coaching Network events

England Athletics are holding a series of events specifically for female coaches.

We are looking to create local networks to support female coaches further their development; particularly supporting those with an aspiration of coaching at higher performance levels, whether it be moving from Leadership in Running Fitness to Coach in Running Fitness, Coaching Assistant to Athletics Coach or progressing into Event Group coaching.

Across the country we have four events taking place with a focus on you having practical solutions and actions to have a positive impact on your development and coaching whilst offering supportive environments to help you be the best version of you!

In Gateshead we’re working in partnership with UK Coaching to deliver a cross sport event, giving you the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from coaches in other sports.

The interactive sessions will focus on ‘Building Your Strengths’, ‘Your Personal Brand’ and the more technical side of coaching.
