Development
of talent coaches
Sport NI are creating 3 regionally situated hubs (Coleraine – University of Ulster; Belfast – House of Sport; Dungannon – South West Regional College) for the
development of talent coaches. They will be starting the project in October
2014.
Each one of the ‘hubs’ will begin with an
introductory session during the week beginning 20th of October 2014. Each hub
will run the same programme of workshops (approximately one every 2 -3 months)
over a 18 month to 2 year period.
More
details of the programme are available and if you are interested in improving
yourself as a coach, please contact contacting myself at:
kevin.kelly.ulster@gaa.ie
The targeted coaches for these hubs will be
coaches currently active within the talent structures i.e. County Academy
Squads, County Minor, U21 or Senior coaching.
The programme will be supported by some of
our colleagues based at the Sports Institute NI and also sports coach
UK.
