At the same times topics such as planning a session, anatomy and physiology, strength training, development of power, teaching technique are all covered.Following on from the core, coaches go through a period of “supported practice” during which they will work with a more experienced coach. Some of these sessions will be logged and coaches are encouraged to reflect on what they have learnt. The final part of the award is an “event specific” day, when a coach will decide which event group they would like to specialise in (e.g. Sprints, Endurance, Jumps and Throws).This is a half-day session where coaches can expect to learn about the specific techniques involved in the events and how to coach them. During the final half-day session the coaches are assessed while they deliver a short coaching session that they have prepared previously.
Once all of the parts have been completed to a satisfactory level you will be upgraded to a Level 2 coach and should receive a new pass and licence to reflect this within approximately 8 weeks.
