Coaching the Person in Front of You Workshop

Coaching is all about people. This workshop will give you a deeper awareness of why great people skills are an intrinsic part of being an effective coach. Ultimately, the more coaches understand and connect with people they coach – by observing, noticing, and communicating – the more they will be able to support them and help them thrive.

You will explore these three core principles – understand, connect, and thrive – in greater detail by engaging in and reflecting on a range of interactive activities that demonstrate how a commitment to taking a genuine interest in the person behind the performer is crucial in developing a lifelong love of sport and physical activity in your participants.

You Will Learn

how to develop and model a person-centred philosophy and hone your soft skills to enable you to have the greatest possible impact with your participants.

strategies and tactics to help you identify a person's individual needs, motivations and goals using the understand + connect = thrive framework.

to become an expert in people so that whatever your objective, you can provide the most engaging experiences for your participants.

The course has been awarded 2 CPD points by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).

Cost: £17
