In both basketball and business, professional development and courses play a pivotal role. Athletes and professionals alike need to constantly evolve, learning new techniques and strategies to maintain their edge. By committing to continuous education, we ensure we’re always at the top of our game. - Coach Danielle #ContinuousImprovement #BasketballTraining #BusinessDevelopment #KeepLearning #StayCompetitive #BasketballAndBusiness #IAmCoachDanielle

Parents, Teachers, Governors ! For anyone connected to primary education who is intent on ensuring quality PE provision for the children, delivered by professionals, this is one to watch 👀 Speaking as a Mum we suffered the frustration of a highly motivated, sporty child often coming home disappointed, describing (what frequently sounded like) weird adhoc PE sessions. He would tell us about classes where there was a lot of down time or missing equipment or he just hadn’t learnt anything new or developed at all. And I get it, it’s understandable in a pressured primary school environment where individual subjects are never anyone’s specialism. So why not dedicate the resources to an award winning organisation who do specialise and take that strain off the teaching staff directly? And who provide curriculum matched and driven tools and coaching to support Teachers ? #sportscoaching #primaryeducation

🎯 Today, a new group of young players was introduced to the 1000 Passes training system. Every movement on the field is purposeful—nothing happens by chance. On their first day, these young athletes learn more than just passing or running. They begin to understand the why, how, when, and which decisions make the game efficient and fluid. They ask questions, and they find answers through logical channels, ensuring that their game develops simplicity, fluidity, and, above all, efficiency. Just like them, football at the highest level is built on similar principles. 🧠 1000 Passes is designed for high performance—it will break old mentalities and traditions. This methodology will be embraced by more and more people within football, from academies to clubs, even those at the highest level. We’re here to change the game. #1000Passes #football #highperformance #coaching #development #teamwork #changingthegame #breakingtraditions #futureoffootball

Following the PADSIS: The Professional Association of Directors of Sport in Independent Schools webinar with Chris Dossett on Friday, I wanted to share this conversation between two coaches on WHY and HOW we should make school sport fixtures as closely competitive as we can. It is a chat between an Experienced School Coach (ESC) and somebody New to Coaching (NTC). Please read and let me know any thoughts for V.2.

Brilliant conversation set out below that explains why and how some common myths and assumptions about competitive sport need to be challenged - and moving on from a binary frame of whether it's good to be competitive or not, to asking, how best to be usefully competitive in school sport - also applicable beyond #longwinthinking #redefinesuccess #culture #winning #purpose #meaning #learning #strivetogether #thelongwin

Sometimes a draw can feel like a win. Our game this week is testament to that. We are in a strange place at the moment, bottom of the league and we were relegated with 3 games still to play. As a coach that is a challenging position to be in, What are we playing for? Why does it matter? Where’s the motivation? As a coach I always want to create opportunities for learning and development for me and for the players. So our training environment for the last 2 weeks has been about building and preparing for next season. I’ve really tested my players by trying to deliver some challenging content in our sessions. In honesty that’s also really tested me as a coach. This weekend I thought really hard about my team talk. I decided to keep it short and simple. I gave the team 3 objectives: 1. Keep a clean sheet 2. Score AT LEAST 2 goals 3. Play with pride When we found ourselves 2-0 down in the 1st quarter it looked like we might not meet our objectives! But we never gave up. Some tactical changes both with and without the ball, a sense of belief and the desire to work as a team and never give up saw us battle to the very last second with the game finishing 4-4! Apart from the clean sheet, we smashed our objectives. Sometimes a draw feels like a win. #hockey #hockeyfsmily #learning #growthmindset

To know ‘what to coach’ your players, you need ‘knowledge of the Sport’ and to know ‘how to coach’ your players, you need ‘knowledge of the human Brain’. Now all of you, ask yourself this question: How many of your educators/mentors/associations teach you both at the level of the ‘What’ and at the level of the ‘How’? The answer to this question will reveal whether all this time, you all were being educated as a coach or you all were only in an illusion of being educated as a coach. Fortunately, my mentor Raymond Verheijen educates me on both through Football Coach Evolution’s online and in-person courses.
