Sports Coaches Development Workshops
For Sydney Coaches within Gridiron NSW
Below (and attached) is all the information regarding our Sydney Workshops to forward onto those you believe would be interested and benefit from attending….
SYDNEY Sports Coaches Development Workshops
“The best knowledge gained in a workshop for a long time. This answers a lot of questions about how athletes’ behaviours affect their training and results” Chris Wood, North Burleigh S.L.S.C.
“Very critical in being a better coach, leader and person” Brett Gordon, Coolum Beach AFL Club
“Well presented, not like any other sporting workshop I have been to before” Robert Taylor, United Soccer Club
“I found the workshops a valuable tool in my development as a coach” Jenny Capper, Level 3 Coach – MRC
Last year, nearly all of the workshops sold out and in 2009 we have expanded our workshop topics and repeated the most popular ones.
Why?
In a recent survey of sports coaches (EOA Conference 2008), the top three challenges for coaches are:
1. 50% rated “Understanding individual athlete’s personality and how to best motivate them”
2. 46% rated “Personal life balance – managing sport, career, home and social etc”
3. 31% rated “Team/squad dynamics and managing relationships within the team/squad”
The workshops directly address these critical challenges for coaches.
Physical training has a limit. To help your athletes improve, effective coaches must be able to tailor their coaching style to suit the individual communication, motivation and behavioural style of their athletes.
Who are the workshops for?
Specifically for sports coaches.

WORKSHOP TOPICS, TIMES AND LOCATIONS
Sydney: Tuesday 24 March 2009: 6pm for 6:30pm-9:30pm
“Bringing Out the Best in Your Athletes”
You will gain an understanding of the role personality plays in sport and how to be most effective as a coach. With this increased awareness of your and your athletes’ behaviours, you will be able to communicate and motivate more effectively, understand what is positively contributing to performance, identify what is limiting performance and know how to address these areas.

“Coaching Styles to Maximise Athlete Improvement”
This workshop is an in-depth study of coaching styles and learning to adapt your style to suit the needs of the situation and the diverse group of athletes you coach. We will discover unique behaviours and strategies that apply to each coaching style. This is a practical, how-to workshop where you will leave with new strategies and coaching skills to start applying the very next day.
Sydney: Wednesday 13 May 2009: 6pm for 6:30pm-9:30pm
“The Performance Triad – Help your Athletes Create Performance Breakthroughs”
This workshop will showcase the Performance Triad which when applied can be used to improve any athletic performance. The Triad examines the relationship between an individual’s thoughts, feelings and physicality. Coaches will learn how these three elements are inter-related and how they all massively impact sports performance.
