A Head for Talent

Gain further insight and share knowledge with other coaches working in similar talent settings

UK Coaching was formerly known as Sports Coach UK. We changed our name after expanding our support as an organisation. 

This is the second of four workshops in the Talent Foundation Series and is for high-performing coaches with an interest in talent development, working, or having a desire to work, with emerging athletes within the England Talent Pathway.

You will explore the key concepts and challenges of growth mindset and attitude, discussing the implications for you and your athletes/players with coaches from other sports.

Because the nature of talent development is so varied, your workshop experience will be very much focused on what you and the rest of the group want to get out of that particular workshop, meaning you get a highly relevant, personalised experience.

You will:

  • share current academic research regarding mindset, and be challenged to apply it to your own contexts
  •  explore how mindset could inhibit or accelerate learning and development, and be challenged to discuss how your coaching practice encourages a growth attitude
  •  be checked and challenged to reflect on how you address the themes of mindset in your coaching, and share with coaches from other sports.
  • be provided with content essential for the seamless progression from UKCC Level 2 to UKCC Level 3 or equivalent.

What People Think

We ran the Talent Foundation Series of workshops for a group of our coaches, and it was a really positive experience. The coaches benefited greatly, in particular from the ability of the tutor to relate discussions to the environment they were working in. We look forward to running more of the workshops in the future.
