About Starting Your Coaching Journey: This is the first place to start if you are wanting to become a coach. Being a coach is in itself is a learning journey, where we adapt and refine our skills by learning from our experiences. This module identifies simple yet must-have skills for coaches, including how to use reflection and feedback to take action towards improvement.
About Empowering Archery (Part 1): Empowering Archery focusses on how we can create the best environment to optimise people’s experiences, retain them in archery, and help them achieve their goals. The workshop is open to anyone involved in running a club, coaching others, officiating, or parenting a young archer. You will learn how to create the optimal environment for the people you are responsible for in your archery club. The topics explored include:
- ‘Empowerment’ is a word often used, but what does it mean?
- Health benefits of archery
- Building blocks for an empowering climate
Our work is underpinned by established research on motivation and also specific research in archery. It is delivered in partnership with the University of Birmingham.
