"But we know that with the right support they could be even more effective in retaining the people currently getting active, while attracting people new to sport who may have felt it wasn’t for them.
“That’s why we’re delighted to see the launch of this innovative online course developed by The Open University with National Lottery funding and support from the sports sector. We are excited to see the benefits that providers of sport and physical activity, especially those who coach the coaches, gain from this course, not only in improving their offering and building their expertise but also in creating inclusive, engaging and attractive environments to support more people getting active.”
‘Coaching Others to Coach’ is the 50th BOC by OpenLearn, which coincides with 50 years since The Open University was formed. OpenLearn continues to build on its ethos of breaking down barriers to education by reaching millions of learners each year through its free resources.
