UKSCA conference review
Last weekend I attended 2 days of the annual UKSCA conference in Milton Keynes.There were a variety of lectures, breakout sessions and also some poster presentations.
This was the fourth conference of theirs that I have attended, and I probably took the least away. ( I wasn’t going to go, but my alternative course was postponed).
However, there were a couple of key exceptions: Dan Baker and Nick Allen. There seems to be an element of confirmation bias within the UKSCA and they do hire lecturers who reinforce the prevailing thoughts.
The practical element was very limited, and this may be due to their insistence on presenting scientific evidence for everything- if that is the case, then we coaches will always be waiting for research to catch up with practice.
The organisation, venue and hospitality were all very good, and it was useful (as always at these things) to discuss practice with other coaches at the break times.
Over the next few blogs I shall be putting a more in depth perspective on each lecture that I attended.
