In a society where equality of the workforce is being promoted, why is the role of an elite sports coach largely reserved to former elite athletes and why do we not see a diverse representation of elite coaches?
Led by experienced coach and active researcher, Dr Alex Blackett, this exclusive 30-minute webinar will examine the idea that by prioritising former elite athletes to become elite level coaches we ignore a vast talent pool of others who could be capable of performing in these roles and extending coaching practices.
On this webinar you’ll gain:
- An insight into some of the cultural and societal inequalities that restrict aspirating coaches from reaching elite levels.
- Knowledge for best preparing to overcome some of these obstacles in becoming a better coach.
- Opportunities to set yourself apart from others and debunk the myth that in order to coach, experience as an athlete is mandatory.
