Welcome to April’s Top 10 on the 10th coaching blog! This month we focus on some different ways to keep our coaching brains engaged and look at how we can develop ourselves in other areas of our coaching practice. Take a look below at 10 top tips on how you can keep your coaching brains active:
- Spend some time reflecting on where you are in your coaching journey, and where you might like to go. What have you learnt so far? What has been successful and/or challenging? What areas are you looking to change and develop?
- Practice developing your observation and analysis skills by downloading our statistics sheet, grabbing a cuppa and catching up on some of the Vitality Netball World Cup games
- Invest some time in you – often as coaches we invest so much of our time in the development of others. Take a look at these 10 simple steps to support your well-being
- Take some time to look at planning and goal-setting. For example, what are some of your personal coaching goals, and what steps could you take to try and accomplish them?
