Coaching Chat #1: Coaching Developing Athletes - Lessons from the Classroom, Field, & Track

Ellie Kormis hosts a discussion on coaching developing athletes, sharing insights for high school and elite coaches alike.

Welcome to Coaching Chat, a new vodcast series where Education Director - Ellie Kormis - chats with coaches, coach educators, and teachers who coach across the spectrum - from High School Coaches, to elite coaches, to new coaches, to the seasoned warhorses of our profession. With a reach encompassing all sports and sporting domains, the aim of this vodcast series is to promote cross pollination across coaching domains, and allow coaches at all stages of their career to garner insights into how others tackle their coaching challenges. This 'learning out loud' approach is hoped to prompt networking and chat, so please do reach out to us on the comments section below if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. We are all pushed for time, so we promise these chats will remain bite sized - no longer than 30 minutes - with the key takeaways neatly summarized for you in accompanying articles on our website! That way you can choose to scan the article, or dive deeper into the chat itself... First up is JP Laurent - a South African, based in England - JP is the Head Coach of West London Track and Field Juniors (WLTF), coaching 160 athletes, aged 7 -15, every week. He is an experienced PE teacher with decades of experience, and has coached Cricket and Rugby for over 20 years. Most recently, he started coaching Track & Field Athletics. In this 20-minute chat with Ellie Kormis, the father of 3 discusses how his multi-sports approach and teaching background now informs his practice as a relatively new coach in the Track & Field domain. He also shares insights to managing the coaching of 160 plus young athletes and a range of multi-sports athletes on a weekly basis.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL ►►► bit.ly/2iBOv28 PUSHED FOR TIME?
