Program objectives
The program aims to provide coaches with a better understanding of:
- Self, personal values and coaching philosophies
- How to build and maintain effective relationships with Performance Pathway staff and stakeholders
- Holistic athlete development
The AIS also work closely with coaches to individualise their learning outcomes. Furthermore coaches are required to provide feedback and undertake program evaluation surveys to help inform future programs.
Our 2023 #AIS Elevate Coaches descended on the Gold Coast for their first face-to-face workshop where outside-the-box thinking was a big focus.
