Workshop title: How to Deliver Engaging Sessions
About me: I joined the University of Winchester in 2005 from Palmerston North, New Zealand, lecturing on a degree in Human Performance as well as developing a broad coaching portfolio. My work involved sport science support for the national white water kayaking squad, the New Zealand academy of Sport, provincial netball as well as provincial rugby achieving success with Massey University and Manawatu Sevens and the New Zealand Under17 squad.
I completed my Masters in Sport Science at Brunel University in 1999, completing a published dissertation with Dr. Robyn Jones. Since joining Winchester I have taught on the Degree in Sports Development and have been an integral part in the introduction of the BA (Hons) in Sports Coaching and Development.
My approach to teaching has been recognised by achieving the University Chancellors award in 2010 (the first one to be awarded as a result of student nomination) and was shortlisted for the 2010 Times Higher Education award for Innovation in Teaching. In the same year I completed the Atacama Desert crossing, 6 marathons in six days and have since then completed further adventure races including the Scotland Coast to Coast race (finishing 9th out of field of 750) and in 2012 will be aiming to achieve a finish in the Roth, Germany Ironman.
In 2010, I received the HEFCE Social Enterprise grant for a volunteering event in aid of Age Concern. For this I rode 100 miles on a tandem with 10 different partners contributing 10 miles each ranging from a world champion gymnast to an upper limb amputee. The aim of the event was to highlight the plight of elderly people suffering from social isolation which is particularly more poignant at Christmas. Alongside teaching I worked with the Rugby Football Union as part of the management team for England teams from Under 19s to seniors and attended four world championships and the Churchill Cup on three occasions. I was involved with 75 International matches at all levels as part of the management and logistics, travelling extensively to tournaments around the world.
I'm now a Coach Educator for both London South and Hampshire RFU.
As a result of completing the Atacama Desert Ultra marathon in Chile I set up my own company (TWENTY17) providing motivational and inspirational talks in schools and colleges. Since 2010 I have delivered over 20 such presentations across the country.
Currently the focus of work is on a yearlong series of activities to celebrate the forthcoming Olympics and I have submitted a chapter on coaching and learning for a new football coaching book due out in January 2012.
The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: The chance to motivate and encourage others who also have a passion to coach.
My sport: Rugby Union
My philosophy: Coach as you would wish to be coached!

How to Deliver Engaging Sessions for Adults
About me: I am a qualified Athletics coach in Speed, Throws and Endurance. I coach disabled athletes (Learning Disabled & Cerebral Palsy). I have coached athletes both disabled and non-disabled to UK top-20 ranking and National Champions and record-holders in their classification.
My tutor qualifications are 1st4Sport Certificate in Tutoring in Sport and I am completing the Award in Assessing Vocationally-Related Achievement.
I have been a UK Athletics tutor since 2004 and for sports coach UK since 2008. I also deliver generic and sport-specific (Athletics and Cricket) UK Disability Inclusion Training for English Federation of Disability Sport. In my role as a freelance tutor, I deliver for a number of sports coach UK Licenced Partners and other Sports Development organisations.
My particular areas of expertise are inclusion (not just disability but all with protected characteristics) and mentoring. I work mostly in London, South East and East Regions.
Top motivations and tips for tutors: It’s important for me to ensure that coaches understand inclusion is not as difficult as it sounds and that not everybody needs to be included all of the time! Coaches will say they lack the qualifications or knowledge to coach inclusively; my role is to show that they just need confidence and that removing barriers can be quite simple. ‘Keep it Simple’ is my motto when tutoring!
I like to make the most of what expertise and experience exists within the group! By acknowledging I am not an expert and involving those that are helps to create an intimate learning environment.
Ensure that where people who have other roles in sport attend, that their views, their understanding and their perceptions of coaches and coaching are equally as valid.
Make the most of the laser pointer! It frees you from being tied to the laptop, enabling greater freedom of movement and a closer engagement with the learners!
Finally, don’t be afraid to mix groups up frequently! If four or five learners from one club or sport attend, for comfort, they will sit together. I like to move them around, so that they can tick ‘strongly agree’ on ‘Allow opportunity to learn from other participants’!
Top motivations and tips for coaching: Coaches are very good at analysing their athletes/players performances. How good are they at analysing their own coaching performances?
A good understanding and strong application of physical literacy and the stages of an athlete’s development is crucial in a coach achieving their main motivation: enabling an athlete to achieve their full potential!

About me: I am a professional coach and management trainer working independently and as an associate for a number of training organisations. As a former tennis coach and player I have worked in a sport and leisure environment for most of my life with previous employers including the Lawn Tennis Association, England Squash, the Rank Organisation and SkillsActive.
The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: Sport is a small community of devoted individuals who are incredibly passionate about what they do. I have been lucky enough to meet some inspirational people who are committed to helping others achieve and I don’t think there are many roles that offer an individual that opportunity.
My sport: Tennis is my main sport, although I do enjoy watching Coventry City FC when I get time. There has only ever been one reason to support the sky blues and that is not their performance. I am from Coventry!
My philosophy: Everyone has the potential within to surprise themselves and others.

Coaching the Young Developing Performer
About me:
- Principle Lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire, teaching Biomechanics and Strength and Conditioning. I have a BSc. in Sports Science, and MSc in Sport and Fitness Science and a PhD in optimising acute sports performance. I am an accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach with the British Olympic Association and the UK Strength and Conditioning (S & C) Association, and also work as a tutor and assessor for the UK S & C Association
- I have coached S & C across many sports and levels of ability. This has involved talented juniors up to world class athletes (including Olympic medallists). I have been involved with working for a number of governing bodies including the English Institute of Sport and the Talented Athlete Support Scheme (TASS).
- I am involved in teaching undergraduate and post graduate students in Sport Science courses and tutor S & C coaches. Practically I coach on the TASS scheme as well as coaching in professional rugby.
The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: I have managed to work with a number of elite athletes, including Olympic medallists, particularly while working for the EIS, however the biggest thrill I get is when I see a young athlete I have worked with develop into a successful senior international competitor.
The best thing about being a tutor is the interaction with so many coaches and hopefully helping those coaches improve themselves.
My sport: I am still (just) an active rugby player, trying to retire after playing at Bedford, London Scottish and Harlequins for much of the 1980's and 90's.
My philosophy: My general philosophy is based around enjoyment at whatever level you compete at. If the athlete and the coach do not enjoy the process, is there really a point in playing the sport?

A Guide to Mentoring Sports Coaches
About me: My journey started in sport when I was young. I tried and enjoyed all sports. I played for school teams, outside clubs and made representative teams and competitions. I continued into my working life before deviating away from sport for a few years. I returned as my children grew up and I changed career from working in financial services to teaching PE. I worked for sports coach UK as Coach Development Officer and Coaching Consultant before returning to teaching PE. I coach athletics and football nowadays and run when I get the chance.
The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from some influential people during my time as a coach. I enjoy tutoring and sharing my experiences with other coaches and I use the opportunity of meeting new coaches by often learning about them and what they do and achieve. Often I can learn something new at the same time.
My sport: I teach PE so I teach all kinds of sports. Outside of school I coach focussed athletes and a youth football team.
My philosophy: A quote from Dr Christian Barnard sums it up for me..."You can achieve whatever you want to, within the scope of your imagination".
Sporting hero: Anyone who pursues a dream whole heartedly, no matter what obstacles are thrown in their way, to fulfil their potential.

About me: I work as an HR Business Partner for Lane4 Managment Group, a performance development consultancy with a unique heritage in elite sport and business performance. My role focuses on partnering with leaders and line managers to build capability through coaching and facilitation across the HR spectrum.
Prior to Lane4, I worked at sports coach UK, as a Coach Development Officer in the Southeast.

The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: It keeps me connected to and involved with people from across the coaching community (from a variety of sports) and it allows me to make links between my day-to-day work in business and my passion, sport.
My sport: Hockey (primarily as I play regularly and coach on an ad hoc basis over here)

About me: As far as my employment career is concerned, I have always been involved in CTI (Coaching Teaching and Instruction). I began as a staff instructor at the RAF School of PE, followed by an 11 year stint teaching PE in an FE college and then 13 years as a Development Officer with Ulster Squash. I currently work for Oxfordshire Sports Partnership as the Coaching Development Officer, which is sometimes challenging but always rewarding. I am fortunate to work with a talented team who are a great source of knowledge and expertise, which is a great help with my work...as well as being great FUN!
The best thing about being a sports coach UK tutor: I get a real buzz out of passing on knowledge and sharing experiences with the next generation of coaches. There is something so rewarding about watching people develop their skills, observing and being part of that moment when "the penny drops".
My sport: Squash up until a few years ago which I was heavily involved in as a Development Officer, coach, coach educator and player (time permitting). More recently I have taken up basketball which I am not particularly skilled at but I just love playing. It is my guilty secret...the only sport I have been involved in, which I have not had an administrative, organisational or coaching role.
My philosophy: How you do things is as important as what you achieve, the outcome is not always the be all and end all. Everyone should feel that they have something to offer and be valued for that. As coach educators we should be creating a supportive, non threatening (fun) environment to facilitate the learning experience and maximise potential.
Sporting hero: There are a few, but if I am pressed to name one - Daley Thompson stands out, not only was he the "world's best athlete" but he always had a sense of fun about him and had an obvious passion for his sport.

How To Deliver Engaging Sessions For Adults
About me: I'm a level 3 rugby coach, level 1 cricket and badminton coach and have been coaching for over 15 years, I also tutor for the Rugby Football Union. I'm involved in grass roots sports and currently club secretary for a village rugby club, having already undertaken various roles within the club from coach to chairperson. I still play occasionally, “the mind is willing, but the body is less so”.
As a profession I'm a Sports Development Manager within the Oxfordshire Sports Partnership; my areas of personal interest are club and coach development. Development is a complex issue, with many different and sometimes contentious definitions. A particular interest focus in each area is human development. Development, therefore, is empowerment: put simply it is about local people taking control of their own lives, expressing their own demands and finding their own solutions to their problems. My work includes support to National Governing Bodies of Sports to connect to local networks and the delivery their Whole Sport Plans.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children
About me: Over the last five years I have tutored 45 SPC seminars, almost all within the aquatics environment but one with a gymnastic club linked through diving and synchronised swimming. As I quickly discovered, no two are identical and, although common issues are flagged up, it is surprising how often one-off ones become a focus.
Since qualifying as a Time to Listen tutor I have delivered 10 seminars for the ASA South East Region, aimed at CWOs specifically and other club officials generally. These are well-received with experienced CWOs pleased that it confirms that what they are doing is correct and gives novices the confidence to take up the role knowing that they are not potentially standing alone and that there is an excellent support structure.
As the Welfare Officer for the ASA South East Region my role is threefold:
- To be a point of contact both for club and county welfare officers as well as anyone with concerns of any nature, and direct them to the right person/organisation
- To act as an intermediary between concerned people and the ASA National Child Safeguarding Coordinator and the ASA ICPO.
- Give guidance and direct support to clubs and individuals within the Region in relation to bullying, additional needs, parent/club conflicts, etc.
