Refresh your coaching skills or learn something new
Jonathan Ward, coach of Cumnor Minors’ U15s girls team, enrolled onto the Step Up in Coaching programme to enhance his coaching skills.
After Jonathan’s daughter decided to play for a local team, he wanted to support her development so obtained his FA Level One coaching badge. Over lockdown he signed up to Ignite Sport UK’s Step Up in Coaching course to further his knowledge.
Jonathan said: “I wanted to refresh my coaching skills and Step Up in Coaching allowed me to do that while being supported by quality full-time coaches.
“The programme really made me think about coaching and how to plan and prepare sessions that are suitable for different age groups at different times of the year.”
