Really enjoyable day so far with the @EnglandAthletic TSTP Dev Camp. History of the CWG and also a fun quiz hosted by Matt Long (@PaddyMcGuinness should be worried about his job 🤪).

Excited about tonight’s panel discussion with some esteemed previous Team Staff / Leaders.

@andykirkland71 @SportingTheory_ One is the means …. The outcomes / Targets are within the activity ( a workout ) …. The other is a means to an end … the targets are not the activity ( it’s a session within a programme ) ?

@andykirkland71 2/3. So if they need time and effort on CPD for their paid job … why get “qualified “ ( I read your paper in depth ) where the qualification doesn’t really give them anything and no apparent reward.

[Martin Cassidy @sakerhet96]

@andykirkland71 1/2 They have a job in a silo that pays. Coaching isn’t their job and doesn’t pay - so why would they invest time and effort in a coaching qualification for no “obvious“ ( that’s the key) return ( the payback for a volunteer is not the same as payback when it pays the mortgage )

[Martin Cassidy @sakerhet96]

@andykirkland71 3/3. Excusing those folks who do choose to “coach” for free but not as their paid role. Different drivers and rationale maybe 🤔

[Martin Cassidy @sakerhet96]

@andykirkland71 @JowettSophia 2/3. So if they need time and effort on CPD for their paid job … why get “qualified “ ( I read your paper in depth ) where the qualification doesn’t really give them anything and no apparent reward.

[Martin Cassidy @sakerhet96]

@andykirkland71 @JowettSophia Sitting in on an England Athletics talent program session with folks from all those roles and more …. They are all paid ….. telling coaches what they should be doing for their athletes … all unpaid. Seems obvious why….

[Martin Cassidy @sakerhet96]

@SySchAthletics @SchoolAthletics ElizA went …. 5th and PB!! Whoo hoo
