Coaching Excellence

Product Information

Sport coaches make a significant contribution to society by helping millions of participants achieve their personal goals and by delivering broader community outcomes.

Applications are now open for the Sport England funded National Development Programme for Coaching Excellence, aimed at boosting the performance and skills of coaches across all equestrian disciplines. The notion of professionalization has thus evolved to encompass not only the regulation of the right to practice and the remuneration status of sport coaches but their recruitment, education, development, support, employment, and recognition. This program focuses intensively on skill development and application through reinforced practice – using real life simulation exercises. The National Development Programme for Coaching Excellence (NDPCE) is aimed at those working with adults and young people who participate in equestrian sport for competitive recreation purposes and aims to recognise the importance of high-performing coaches working with grass roots riders. I've not only achieved significant goals in our time together but have so with more clarity, focus, ease and grace.Through the interview process, coaches demonstrated a curiosity for learning and they will be involved in shaping the programme with help from world class facilitators from; dramatic arts, academia, business and other sports.

As part of this work, Guillermo co-led CoachForce21, an Erasmus+ co-funded project aiming to improve coach recognition and representation throughout Europe. The 14 coaches for the 2020-21 programme were selected following an application process, which included individual assessment and interviews with players, General Managers and technical staff at relevant clubs and national teams. This is an opportunity to work closely with a football-specific mentor or performance mentor outside of the game. Managers emerge from the programme with practical tools and triggers that enable them to immediately raise individual and team performance. I now feel more able to create an environment to help everyone thrive and succeed, positive psychology and a focus on my own skills has enabled me to do this.The aim of Sport Coaching Europe is to promote the mission and objectives of ICCE and the development of coaching across Europe by providing clear reference points for education, development, qualification, and employment of coaches. Coaching excellence is about consistently – regularly – daily – honestly – reflecting on your coaching and striving to improve.
