GB-ONE Coaching Community of Practise sessions
This winter we are delighted to offer a series of sessions which will form our GB-ONE Coaching Community of Practice.
These are aimed at coaches working with juniors & U23 athletes, who are aiming to progress towards national and international level.
The aim is to share knowledge, expertise and common experiences across a number of topic areas in a range of formats. Our hope is that a community of practice will be developed where coaches can explore different areas together and over time contribute to raising the national level of coaching.
Topic One – Planning & Periodisation: Led by James Train
Wednesday 1st October 20:00 – 21:30
(For coaches of juniors aiming to compete internationally)
Wednesday 8th October 20:00 – 21:30
(For coaches of juniors who are starting to train regularly)
These two sessions are designed to provide an understanding of the underpinning principles within a paddlesport yearly training programme. It is aimed at those who are looking to improve their knowledge and understanding of planning and periodisation approaches and how this can support on-water performance.
Topic Two – Training with a purpose: Led by Gabor Szeltner
Wednesday 12th November 20:00 – 21:30
(For coaches of juniors aiming to compete internationally)
Wednesday 19th November 20:00 – 21:30
(For coaches of juniors who are starting to train regularly)
These two sessions are designed to explore how to make training purposeful whilst understanding the constraints that exist such as environmental changes, supporting paddlers through exam periods and managing individuals within training groups.
