BCAB launch the NEW Performance Coach Award

Canoe Wales • Jun 29, 2020

British Canoeing Awarding Body has today announced that the NEW Performance Coach Award is now available

The Performance Coach Award is an ideal programme for intrinsically driven, experienced coaches, who want to get better at coaching the paddlers they work with, and for those who seek recognition that their delivery meets enhanced levels of sophistication.

The learning journey is fluid and personalised to every coach who undertakes the programme. The key components of the award are the same but as an experienced coach, you will steer the direction and focus of your learning, in areas that are most relevant to you.

The Performance Coach Award is now available in 21 pathways, across all main disciplines and environments.
