WHY COACH?

The first Questions I asked after the Workshop was why I coach and how did I start?

• Love of my Sports

• Interested and supportive school Coaching staff

• Club Youth Coaching programme

• Regional and National Coaching Staff

• Professional role at Schools

In essence I coach because I love the game and have a passion to develop young players to share in that love. Even to this day I have a desire to improve as a coach and deliver the best I can to players I come into contact with, whether school students or HP Athletes

COACH EDUCATION AT AVONDALE COLLEGE• A Coach leadership Education Programme delivered through

PE, Sports Academy and Sport bridging the perceived gap that exists

• Coaching School Teams filling the gap left by lack of staffing

• Preparing and organising Sporting events at the College

• Working closely with our contributing Primary and Intermediate Schools

THE VISION

“Leadership is a privilege and a Service to others”This initiative led by Sport New Zealand, facilitated by ourselves and supported by Sport

Waitakere will encourage student empowerment and leadership through Sport

Many of our Year 9 Sports Academy students have already demonstrated and been given the opportunity to lead within their Primary and Intermediate Schools. It is vital that we nurture these abilities from the onset and develop these young people into the Leaders of the Sports Academy and Sport at Avondale College.

We already do this through the programme but both the Growing Leaders and Growing Coaches Programmes give a contextual plan of implementation and delivery with resource support.

All the Coaching Staff in the Sports Academy have similar philosophies on developing the individual and Life skills, the vehicle being their Sport. As such it is the ideal model to deliver the programme through.

There is no doubt that the advantages are that Avondale College will benefit from the programme by enhancing the students Leadership potential, creating a greater pool of talented leaders to promote and help deliver Sport at the College. The possibilities are endless from organising Sporting events within the school, Lunchtime activities, Workshops at our Feeder Primary and Intermediate Schools as well as coaching our Junior Sports programme.

The Aim of the Growing Leaders programme in Year 9 Sports Academy is to grow their leadership potential, exploring, discovering and navigating Leadership by experiential opportunities. They will explore themselves, building a foundation to lead others through Sport.

In Year 10 we will facilitate the Growing Coaches programme where the Coaching experiences enhance the Leadership development. They will understand that Coaching includes Learning, programme and session planning and progression as well as constant evaluation. They will realise that these Leadership qualities and coaching skills are transferable into Life Skills.

THE PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF GROWING COACHES AT AVONDALE COLLEGE

• Essentially the purpose of the programme is to promote young peoples’ LIFE SKILLS through Sport and Coaching

• to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences to manage effectively their REAL LIFE ISSUES.

• The programme creates an environment to enable individuals to improve their personal and social skills, build self-esteem and confidence, inspiring them to set measurable, achievable, realistic goals

• Growing Coaches provides a platform for the development of young coaches at Avondale College
