Flash back to 17 years ago when I won Yorkshire Sport Foundation Young Coach of the Year award. What advice would I give to my younger self and to all coaches - Education is essential! Educate yourself and develop your skills. At the age of 26 I went back into education and undertook my degree in Sports Coaching which completely transformed my approach. Now 17 years on and Programme Director of Sports Development and Coaching at University of Stirling I have the privilege of developing the next generation of sporting professionals. #education #educationalleadership #educate #development #sport #sports #professionaldevelopment #professionalcoaching #sportsdevelopment #sportseducation #highereducation #universities #learninganddevelopment #learning #lifelonglearning

Thinking about high-school sports. Can high-school sports achieve all goals? How do we manage developmental and competitive levels? How to involve more players who want to play despite limited resources (money, gym time, playing time)? How to create school spirit through sports? Should high-school athletes also have fun? #coaching #LTAD #Specialization #skilldevelopment https://lnkd.in/ezguXREQ

In academies, young players dream of becoming professional footballers. But the path is tough, and not everyone makes it to the top. This journey can be mentally challenging, and it’s vital that these young talents receive the right support.   The Right to Dream Academy is one of the academies that teamed up with Common Goal 🤝 and it’s a true example how to combine player and human development. The mission and values of the Right To Dream are incredibly important and can truly impact the lives of many young players.    Don’t miss the second part of the conversation between Sérgio Oliveira and Juan Mata García about the topic of #MentalHealth and the importance of academies like Right To Dream.

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

Periodization in soccer training involves dividing the season into specific periods, each with a unique focus on training and recovery 📈👌   In essence, is an artful and scientific method, meticulously designed to structure and synchronize training throughout the entire soccer season (Issurin, 2010; Smith & Norris, 2012). It goes beyond merely assembling a series of practice sessions and matches; instead, it entails a carefully orchestrated journey aimed at developing players’ physical, technical, tactical, and mental attributes in a harmonious and progressive manner.   By strategically dividing the season into distinct phases, coaches and trainers can align training goals with the team’s overarching objectives, ensuring that players peak at precisely the right moments and thrive during pivotal match days.   At ISSPF, we understand the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of soccer coaching. Our course isn’t just about theories; it’s about practical insights that get results on the field.

*Just published* “Sport pedagogy in played-form practice in soccer: the articulation between contents and contexts” Delighted to share my latest paper published by T&F Sport Coaching Review. This one is particularly significant to me since it reflects friendships with brilliant people made at Faculdade de Desporto da Universidade do Porto in 2016. The topics we cover are part of their expertise and have been explored, debated, and challenged. It also features Dr Jia Yi Chow as last co-author, a somity in nonlinear pedagogy from Singapore. More specifically, we were able to: ▶️ review key principles from nonlinear pedagogy and highlight the idea of exploration ⏩️ review “grades of contents” that coach cover when they coach and introduce a grade called “ideas” of play based on existing litterature ➡️ tie these grades with compatible “formats” of activities given the fit between their typical configuration and the targeted contents 50 free eprints available on this link: https://lnkd.in/gPXCdpMU
