Resources from UK Coaching

UK Coaching is sharing some of their resources during this unprecedented time.

As we’re all working from home, our learning and development platform ukcoaching.org remains fully operational and is being updated regularly with great content and guidance to service the many coaches who have been directly affected by this virus.

To this end, we have temporarily unlocked 10 of our most valuable subscriber resources, making them available to all registered on UKCoaching.org.

These will remain freely available until 3 May.

The selection of tips, guidance, videos, webinars and expert opinions will give coaches the opportunity to take stock and reflect on their coaching practice.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshops

Our traditional face-to-face safeguarding and protecting children workshop is now being delivered online – this move has been supported by the Child Protection in Sport Unit and bookings can now be made through our website. The course is also still worth three CPD points as accredited by CIMSPA  There’s a full statement should you require any more information.

Curious Coaches’ Club

Every Monday, we’re hosting a Curious Coaches’ Club for coaches to take part in engaging and insightful online coaching discussions. Attached are some infographics should you wish to share the opportunity across your social media channels.

How does it work?

The Club has three parts to it:

  1. Coaches can watch and listen to ‘A Conversation About…’ between expert coaches live on a Monday or catch up with the previous episode on-demand via UKCoaching.org.
  2. Coaches who have listened to the Monday webinar or watched it ‘on-demand’ can then engage and take part in a more in-depth conversation about the topic on Wednesday or Thursday (the same week) via a smaller, informal community of practice hosted by one of our team.
  3. Coaches can also continue the conversation via ConnectedCoaches – our free online community for coaches of all sports and activities.

More information on the Curious Coaches’ Club, including bookings and upcoming sessions, can be found on our website.
