Sign up for ‘Coach in Action’ conference taking place in September


Scottish Hockey will be playing a key role in delivering a workshop
at the ‘Coach in Action’ Conference being staged by South
Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture, and North Lanarkshire Council in
partnership with sportscotland.

The conference will take place from 8.45-3.45pm on Saturday 10th
September at the Carluke Leisure Centre. The event provides an
opportunity for coaches at all levels to take part in sports
specific and generic workshops delivered by a team of highly
experienced coaches.

Alan Auld will be delivering a hockey specific workshop in the
morning of the conference and the session will focus on providing a
variety of skills, practices and progressions for the S1-S4 age
range, incorporating Scottish Hockey’s Stronger Game (Long Term
Player Development) philosophy.

There will also be two generic workshops that will be offered at
the conference, which can be attended in the morning or
afternoon:

FUNdamental Movement Skills – coached by Fuzz Ahmed.

The principle is to build a movement base that is transferrable for
us in several sports and is based on long term athletic development
with a practical approach to physical literacy underpinned in a
vocabulary of movement that is planned, progressive and
challenging.

Sports Science – delivered by Dr Niall McFarlane

Supporting the Coach. Any athlete’s coach is best placed to
understand the physiological, psychological and technical demands
of a sporting discipline and the role of a Sports Scientist should
support the coach to optimise performance.  The relationship
between a coach and sport scientist will obviously require dialogue
but sometimes sense can be ‘lost in translation’.  This
workshop will provide an insight to the generic work of a sports
scientist and provide coaches with an opportunity to increase their
awareness of the support available and how to access it.

There will be additional input after the keynote from Richard
Brickely delivering a brief session on ‘Inclusive Coaching’ from a
disability point of view.

Fundamentals and Sports Science will have the same session morning
and afternoon to allow you attend sports specific sessions and a
generic session that can impact on most sports clubs

This is a not to be missed opportunity so book now and ensure your
place.

Cost, including buffet lunch morning and afternoon tea/coffee and a
conference pack, is £30.  You can book or request an
application form by calling 01698 476262 or visit our website
