Back in October, I started my journey to becoming a qualified TI Level 1 Coach. Thanks to the club for encouragement and funding. What does this involve?
- 2 day coaching course with Eamonn Tilley
- half day child protection course
- 1 day sports first aid course
- 3x coaching sessions
- online anti-doping course
- 1 day coaching at TI junior/Para day
- coaching Belpark sessions in 2015
I'm enjoying the coaching prep work and would encourage club members to consider coaching and getting formal qualification. The club is all voluntary, so we need everyone to get involved - whether it's taking the weekend cycle lead role, or introducing new members or helping out with other training sessions. It's also been great to meet other coaches from other clubs and other sports - no matter what the ability of the athlete, it's all about encouraging people to participate, have fun, learn and do their best.
