A CEO of a national sporting organization asked me the other day, "Why do we bother with coach education?"
I replied, "Would you agree that having someone with extensive experience in coaching athletes to be all they choose to be is a good thing for your sport?"
She said "Yes".
"And that ideally that coach would possess a wide range of skills, knowledge and capabilities - across physical, mental, technical, tactical, strategic and life-management areas of your sport so they can provide a truly athlete focused, holistic training environment for each and every participant?", I asked.
She nodded.
And I continued, "Would you also agree it takes a lot of time for a coach to develop that level of expertise?"
Again she replied "Yes".
"Then", I suggested, "the reason we do coach education is to accelerate the rate of learning of coaches - to - if you like - try to help a coach with 1 year of experience become a coach with 10 years of experience in 3 years!"

It is the speech for TODAY
