Transformational Coaching Course
I attended the first meeting of the new intake of the Transformational Coaching course at Bath Uni on Friday night. Organised by Paula Jardine and led by Will Roberts, this course is designed to help challenge, educate and develop coaches from across the South West of England.
It was a productive meeting for me, with my thoughts and ideas being challenged and stimulated- despite it beinglate on Friday night.
Will set us going with thinking about what we want to achieve over the next 3 years as individuals and what we want to learn. We then discussed “rules and roles” and a “contract of learning” in small groups.
We then talked about “What is Coaching?” and creating the right environment for athletes and other coaches.
James Elkin, a badminton Coach, said “Some people improve because they enjoy it some people enjoy it because they improve.” which I liked and was typical of the input from the variety of coaches there.
I shall be looking to use this course as an external audit of my own coaching parctices and also gain ideas on how to owrk with educating other coaches.
