What do you do when the coaching moment changes?
A participant loses confidence.
Teammates disagree.

What you will learn
Choose your response
Recognise when to teach, manage, coach, facilitate or partner with participants. Agree what they want to learn before deciding how to guide them.
Guide useful conversations
Listen to the participant’s perspective, ask useful questions, invite quieter voices and explore different views so the group can learn from one another.
Make reflection actionable
Lead short debriefs that help participants reflect, decide what to change and test it in their next attempt.
Design learning through sport
Adapt familiar drills and games to practise communication, teamwork, values and constructive responses to disagreement.
Bring your sport. Work on a real coaching challenge.
Practise with real coaching scenarios and activities from your own sport. Explore how changing a familiar drill or game can create opportunities for communication, teamwork and reflection.
