Coaching for Coaches
Sixteen qualified and prospective coaches gathered at the Glenpark Estate in Gortin on Saturday 15 March to be “coached as coaches”. After an introductory session, most of the morning was spent outdoors on coaching excercises. The first batch of excercises were on the Glenpark Estate map, under the supervision of Philip and Helen at TD3 level. Then it was over to Gortin Forest where Fin and Teresa set us off on TD4 exercises.
After lunch back at base there was then time to reflect on the morning, considering various permutations as to how the sample excercises could be developed for different coaching scenarios. Many useful ideas emerged in a wide ranging discussion. The final part of the afternoon was led on Zoom by Rachel Collins, DFOK considering “psychology coaching”, concidering focus, visualisation, mindfulness and negative self-talk. Rachel’s session was recorded and is available on the Webinars page. Thanks for Philip, Helen, Raymond and Teresa for leading the sessions and to Ric for coordinating an excellent and thought provoking day.
