2014 English Coaching Conference
22nd – 23rd November, Wyboston Lakes, Bedfordshire
Dynamic Coaching – An Expanding Skill Set
‘It’s the first conference I’ve been to and I’ve come away full of ideas and questions which are going to improve my coaching… so mission accomplished! Looking forward to going North next year!‘
Team Central hosted the 2014 Coach Conference at Wyboston Lakes, Bedfordshire, on the 22nd and 23rd November and explored the theme ‘Dynamic Coaching – An Expanding Skill Set’.
Thank you to all the coaches who attended the 2014 Coach Conference, we hope you all had a great weekend and learnt a new skill set to improve your coaching. We would also like to thank all of our workshop leaders for volunteering their time and providing some engaging and insightful workshops.
The weekend started with an inspiring keynote from Lowri Davies, former European Freestyle Champion, who shared her experiences from within paddlesport and how the smallest thing can spark the biggest change in ‘Small Interactions – Big Impact’. Our second keynote, author and adventurer Dave Cornthwaite talked us through ‘Say ‘Yes’ More – How to Raise the Bar’. Dave shared stories of his adventures from paddleboarding the Mississippi to kayaking 1000.5 miles between Oslo and Helsinki in 48 days.
The conference theme was also explored through over 20 workshops, where delegates had the opportunity to attend three workshops on Saturday and a half or full day workshop on Sunday. One delegate commented ‘All the topics were of interest and I could attend them all’. The workshops ranged from ‘Managing Challenging Behaviour in a Paddlesport Environment’ to ‘From Novice to Expert’ and ‘Expanding your toolbox – resources to help’. Our workshop leaders enabled a phenomenally varied programme with the following comments –
‘Just the best… I got so much from this. Suited my learning style the most too!‘. Delegate. ‘Games with a Purpose’, led by Gillian Mara.
‘Lots of facts, knowledge and theory that linked to how we learn… well presented with energy and an obvious passion for his subject‘. Delegate. ‘What is a performance learning environment?, led by Kurt Lindley.
‘Just answered all my questions‘. Delegate. ‘Level 2 Support Clinic’, led by Andy Oughton.
The 2015 Coach Conference is planned for the 21st and 22nd November and will be hosted by Team North, so save the date as we would love to see you there!
