One of the things I find interesting is accessing information in different domains that have a direct link to the process of coaching and seeing where this can add value to sport.
Coaches are sometimes faced (well, when I say ‘sometimes faced’ I mean ‘often faced’) with the challenge of managing behaviour of children and young people within their sport and physical activity sessions.
Having just got back from a parent session at my local school where the discussion was about emotional literacy and children, I thought it was interesting to get down on paper some of the key takeaway messages, because my instant thoughts were “this is all really important stuff for coaches”.
