Coach Development: Creating Impact

Coach Development: Creating, and maximising, Impact as a Coach

An 8 part programme of inspiring, educational and informative webinars, delivered by world class experts in their field, designed for coaches that want to maximise their impact on riders and the sport. 

The art of coaching goes far beyond teaching somebody the technical skills to ride, it is about getting the most out of every rider you work with, regardless of level, experience, or talent. 

A truly great coach can turn any rider from average to excellent, but it must be executed in a thoughtful, confidence instilling, building block approach; led by a holistic outlook and delivered with excellence. 

You can join at any point through the series and receive the recordings from previous webinars.

All webinars will be recorded to replay or watch on-demand at any time. 

Approved BHS CPD, carrying 6 CPD points.
