COACHING RESOURCES

The British Canoeing Awarding Body has released a new set of resources to support learning and development amongst instructors, coaches, leaders and guides. These resources will enable individuals to recognise and celebrate their current practice, as well as consider options for further learning and development.

Self-Analysis Tool

The Self-Analysis Tool enables an individual to gauge their current level of understanding, skill and knowledge in their discipline. This tool provides a personal overview of the coaches’ current practise, giving a holistic view as well as a specific breakdown in each of the areas. The analysis then offers considerations of how the coach may want to support their continual learning and development, which also links to a range of resources in the Digital Library.

The Self-Analysis Tool has the function to alert the individual if their results show that they could consider having their current knowledge and experience verified to allow direct access opportunities to a coaching assessment.

Once a coach completes the Self-Analysis Tool, they have the option to download their results so the individual can share this with peers, coach developers and mentors, who can help in their development and offer further guidance and support.

Digital Library

The Self-Analysis Tool links to a range of resources within the new Digital Library, which includes academic papers, videos, podcasts, eLearning and much more! The Library will continue to grow and develop as new resources are made available and can also be used as a stand-alone resource for you to browse topics relevant to you.
