Coaching
is essential to developing, sustaining and increasing participation in sport.
It improves performance, increases success and supports key social and economic
objectives, such as enjoyment.
Coaching is essential to motorsport. TT will invest in the development of a coaching structure to provide an education and qualifications in coaching.
Why is coaching important?
For club members, teams, parents, guardians, engineers: Having a greater understanding of coaching as a process ensures that these individuals are better placed to advise and guide regarding the development of participants within the sport.
For coaches: Many people in motorsport have a wealth of experience through their own practice. However, being a participant does not automatically entitle you to be a coach. Coaching qualifications provide a legitimate means for people to be Motorsport Coaches.
Introduction to Coaching outline
This is the first step of the ladder for the TT coaching pathway - for clubs, associations, championships and parents etc. who want an understanding of coaching practice.
This course is designed to provide an introduction to the coaching process exploring what good coaching is and why it is important. This is not a course to qualify people as coaches: the inherent risk and complexity of motorsport make it inappropriate to qualify somebody as a coach on less than a Level 2 award.
This course consists of six guided learning hours with further material available. The course will explore:
Roles and responsibilities of a coach
Preparation and planning
Underpinnings of sport skill
Principles of the skill development process
Coaching methods and simulated process
Health and safety
The sport sciences: hygiene and performance factors
Where next: Improving / developing your coaching
